Samsung’s LCD plant located at Tangjeong was hit by a power outage last night. Although the outage lasted for just 10 minutes, Samsung Display is estimated to face a loss in millions as the panels produced during that period are rendered useless.
Four lines at the plant were affected that produced a combined monthly output of 320,000 large-sized panels for TVs and monitors.
The outage apparently occurred due to a Korea Electric Power Corp. worker’s mistake at the electricity substation connected to the LCD production line.
