LG.Philips Displays’ SuperSlim debuts in Display China 2005

In response to the market’s keen interest in SuperSlim, LG.Philips Displays for the first time set up its booth at the Display China 2005 in Shanghai not only to introduce its newest product but also bring the company closer to China’s major TV set makers, retailers and the general public.

From May 30-June 1, LG.Philips Displays showcased its CRT technological breakthrough at the Display China and highlighted its Cybertube+ 21” Real Flat SuperSlim, 32” Wide Screen Real Flat SuperSlim and the first engineering sample model of the 29” SuperSlim.

Parallel with the show and following the mass production of 21” SuperSlim in HuaFei of its Nanjing manufacturing site, LG.Philips Displays also held its first press event in Shanghai on May 31 to update key media based in China and Hong Kong about the Company’s latest business plan and product development.

Led by Wiebo Vaartjes, Chief Sales Officer, the media briefing was also joined by Roger Lee, HuaFei General Manager of Marketing and Sales, and Ron de Man, Eindhoven’s Technical Engineer. The media program was well attended by 11 key media from Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou and Hong Kong.

“Our decision to set up SuperSlim production in China demonstrates LG.Philips Displays’ commitment to the CRT industry and the China market. We have been proven right in our decision to invest in SuperSlim as shown by the increasing growth in demand since we started last year. Demand has now reached half a million and we see an enormous growth that will reach one million by the second half of 2005,” said Wiebo.

After the media briefing, the reporters visited LG.Philips Displays’ booth at the Display China 2005 where they took away a good understanding of SuperSlim’s superior performance as well as its stylish design.
