The Quint  

Seoul, Sep 17 LG Display Co. on Tuesday said it will begin a voluntary retirement programme as part of cost-cutting efforts amid mounting losses from its liquid crystal display business. The display making unit of LG Electronics Inc. said it will accept early retirement from manufacturing employees who have worked over five years and will consider taking applications from office workers later. LG Display said the retirement programme is part of its cost-cutting efforts and transition from money-losing LCDs to a more profitable organic light-emitting diode business, Yonhap news agency reported. "LG Display has been in emergency management mode due to the worsening business environment and profits amid falling LCD prices and toughening global competition driven by Chinese manufacturers," the company said in a statement.
