The display technology industry has seen a significant expansion in the production of LCD panels with IGZO (indium gallium zinc oxide) thin-film transistor (TFT) backplane. WitsView, a division of TrendForce, estimates that the global production capacity of IGZO panels by area will reach about 6.9 million square meters this year, up 45% from 2015. A Gen-8.5 fab owned by major Chinese panel supplier CEC-Panda is currently responsible for much of this capacity expansion.
