It is understood that the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Resources of South Korea has approved this plan on Tuesday: Invest 5 trillion won (4.7 billion U.S. dollars) in China before 2020, accounting for a quarter of LG's OLED investment in the next three years.

LG said it plans to increase its OLED production to about 2.8 million next year, 1.1 million more than in 2016.

In July this year, the company announced plans to start production of OLED panels in Guangzhou, China. Before that, the company had already produced less advanced OLED panels in Guangzhou.
