GUMI, North Gyeongsang Province ― LG Display, the world's second-largest producer of liquid crystal displays (LCD) panels, confirmed Wednesday an earlier Korea Times report that it is talking with Japan's Sony about supplying panels.

"LG Display has offered the Tokyo-based company supplies of 37-, 42- and 47-inch LCD panels," CEO Kwon Young-soo told reporters. These sizes are not supplied by S-LCD, the Samsung-Sony joint venture.

"We are waiting for a response from Sony, but there's no reason for Sony to refuse such a deal," Kwon added.

Kwon was speaking on the sidelines of the opening of LG's second sixth-generation LCD facility in Gumi, some 250 kilometers south of Seoul.
