Korea-based LG Display (LGD) will reportedly offer lower-than-average prices for electrophoretic displays (EPDs) in order to land orders from China electronic reading device (e-book) makers, according to market sources.

According to LGD, the company has been mass producing EPDs since the first half of 2008, but it declined to comment on other related information.

LGD’s EPD technology is licensed from Philips, the same source for Taiwan-based Prime View International (PVI), the sources said. LGD’s electrophoresis materials are also supplied by E-Ink, the sources added. [via digitimes]
