Ngokombiko kaNikkei, ngenxa yokuqhubeka kwesidingo esibuthakathaka samaphaneli e-LCD, i-AUO (AU Optronics) izovala ulayini wayo wokukhiqiza eSingapore ekupheleni kwale nyanga, okuthinta cishe abasebenzi abangama-500.

I-AUO yazise abakhiqizi bemishini ukuthi bathuthe imishini yokukhiqiza isuka eSingapore ibuyele e-Taiwan, inikeze abasebenzi baseTaiwan ithuba lokubuyela emadolobheni abo noma badlulisele eVietnam, lapho i-AUO inweba khona umthamo wemojula yokuqapha. Iningi lamathuluzi lizodluliselwa efektri ye-AUO's Longtan, egxile ekuthuthukisweni kwezikrini ezithuthukisiwe ze-Micro LED.

I-AUO ithole ifekthri yephaneli ye-LCD ku-Toshiba Mobile Display ngo-2010. Imboni ikhiqiza ngokuyinhloko izibonisi zama-smartphones, amakhompyutha aphathekayo, nezinhlelo zokusebenza zezimoto. Imboni inabasebenzi ababalelwa ku-500, ikakhulukazi abasebenzi bendawo.

I-AUO ithe ifektri yaseSingapore izovalwa ekupheleni kwenyanga futhi yazwakalisa ukubonga kubasebenzi abacishe babe ngu-500 ngeminikelo yabo. Iningi labasebenzi bezinkontileka bazonqanyulwa izinkontileka zabo ngenxa yokuvalwa kwefemu, kanti abanye abasebenzi bazosala kuze kube ikota yokuqala yonyaka ozayo ukuze baphathe izindaba zokuvala. Isizinda saseSingapore sizoqhubeka nokusebenza njengesizinda se-AUO sokuhlinzeka ngezixazululo ezihlakaniphile futhi sizohlala siyisizinda sokusebenza senkampani eseNingizimu-mpumalanga ye-Asia.

Khonamanjalo, omunye umkhiqizi omkhulu wamaphaneli e-Taiwan, u-Innolux, kubikwa ukuthi unikeze izisebenzi ngokuzithandela ukwesula emsebenzini embonini yayo yaseZhunan ngomhlaka-19 no-20. Njengoba umthamo uncishiswa, iziqhwaga zamaphaneli zaseTaiwan nazo zehlisa amafekthri azo eTaiwan noma zihlola okunye ukusetshenziswa.

Uma zihlangene, lezi zinguquko zibonisa isimo sokuncintisana embonini yamaphaneli e-LCD. Njengoba isabelo semakethe ye-OLED sikhula sisuka kuma-smartphones siye kumathebulethi, amakhompyutha aphathekayo, namamonitha, futhi abakhiqizi bamaphaneli e-LCD baseChina basezwenikazini benza ukungenelela okuphawulekayo emakethe ebulalayo, bekhulisa isabelo sabo semakethe, kugqamisa izinselele embonini ye-LCD yaseTaiwan ebhekene nazo.
