LG Display announced on Sunday that it will cut LCD output by 10 percent by August and joined the global trend among liquid crystal display panel manufacturers of scaling down production. Taiwanese LCD makers CPT, CMO and AUO have led the production cuts in recent days as IT firms are reducing LCD panel orders on low demand in the second half, which is lowering panel prices. An LG Display official cited concerns about excess supply in July and the summer slow season in August in North America and Europe. He said the decision is in line with the company’s principle of flexibility in addressing global market situations.

Samsung Electronics said Thursday that it is keeping an eye on the market situation but has no plan to cut production for the time being.

Panasonic MN2CS0038 (nicknamed the UniPhier 4MBB+) is a mobile phone LSI based on its UniPhier digital audio/visual equipment platform. In addition to the communication function, the new Panasonic LSI integrates application functions such as graphics rendering, 1seg reception and audio/visual content playback into a single chip. The LSI was manufactured by using the 45nm process and is composed of 280 million transistors. Panasonic MN2CS0038 reduces the power consumption of a mobile phone by approximately 25% and the footprint by about 40%. The communication function supports 7.2Mbps W-CDMA/HSDPA and GSM/GPRS standards.

Panasonic MN2CS0038 is provided in a 563-pin plastic chip size package (PCSP) with the PoP structure. Panasonic would start shipping samples in late July 2008.
