The company decided to decide whether or not to resume operation of the factory during that time, but because it was not expected to recover orders for LCD panels, it decided to suspend operation for the time being from next month.
The company will discuss with Harvest Tech, a Chinese investment fund that will receive financial support in the future, whether the Hakusan factory can be used as a production base for organic EL panels, and will conclude by March next year.
