PC LCD panel prices to rise in July

Panel makers are requesting a quote increase of US$3-5 for their 17- and 19-inch monitor panels, the sources said. Demand for standard monitor panels continue to be strong in July and panel makers keep raising prices while LG.Philips LCD recently stopped producing 19-inch standard panels at its 7.5-generation (7.5G) plant while still manufacturing 19-inch widescreen panels at the plant, the sources indicated.
