Ngokusho kombiko kaNikkei, ngenxa yokuqhubeka kwesidingo esibuthakathaka samaphaneli e-LCD, i-AUO (AU Optronics) kulindeleke ukuthi ivale umugqa wayo wokukhiqiza eSingapore ekupheleni kwale nyanga, okuzothinta abasebenzi ababalelwa ku-500.

I-AUO yazise abakhiqizi bemishini ukuthi bathuthe imishini yokukhiqiza isuka eSingapore bayibuyisele eTaiwan, okunikeza abasebenzi baseTaiwan ithuba lokubuyela emadolobheni akubo noma badluliselwe eVietnam, lapho i-AUO yandisa khona umthamo wayo wemojula yokuqapha. Iningi lemishini lizodluliselwa efektri ye-AUO iLongtan, egxile ekuthuthukisweni kwezikrini ze-Micro LED ezithuthukisiwe.

I-AUO ithenge ifektri yephaneli ye-LCD kwa-Toshiba Mobile Display ngo-2010. Le fektri ikhiqiza kakhulu izibonisi zama-smartphone, ama-laptop, kanye nezinhlelo zokusebenza zezimoto. Le fektri iqasha abasebenzi ababalelwa ku-500, ikakhulukazi abasebenzi bendawo.

I-AUO ithe ifektri yaseSingapore izovalwa ekupheleni kwenyanga futhi ibonge abasebenzi abacishe babe ngu-500 ngeminikelo yabo. Iningi labasebenzi benkontileka lizoqedwa izinkontileka zabo ngenxa yokuvalwa kwefektri, kanti abanye abasebenzi bazohlala kuze kube yikota yokuqala yonyaka ozayo ukuze baphathe izindaba zokuvalwa. Isizinda saseSingapore sizoqhubeka nokusebenza njengesisekelo se-AUO sokuhlinzeka ngezixazululo ezihlakaniphile futhi sizohlala siyindawo yokusebenza eqinile yenkampani eNingizimu-mpumalanga ye-Asia.

Khonamanjalo, omunye umenzi omkhulu wamaphaneli eTaiwan, i-Innolux, kubikwa ukuthi unikeze izisebenzi zasefektri yayo iZhunan ithuba lokuyeka umsebenzi ngokuzithandela ngomhlaka-19 no-20. Njengoba umthamo uncishiswa, izinkampani ezinkulu zamaphaneli zaseTaiwan nazo zinciphisa usayizi wamafektri azo aseTaiwan noma zihlola ezinye izindlela zokusebenzisa.

Uma zizonke, lezi zinguquko zibonisa indawo yokuncintisana embonini yamaphaneli e-LCD. Njengoba isabelo semakethe se-OLED sanda kusukela kuma-smartphone kuya kumathebhulethi, ama-laptop, kanye nama-monitor, kanye nabakhiqizi bamaphaneli e-LCD aseShayina bangena kakhulu emakethe yama-terminal, bandisa isabelo sabo semakethe, kugqamisa izinselele ezibhekene nemboni ye-LCD yaseTaiwan.
