Experimental production line for 27” liquid crystal display production

December 31, 2022

EuroLCDs Ltd in the framework of project “Experimental production line for 27” liquid crystal display production” is finish line with project implementation.

All the equipment received in the framework of project is fully functional according to the set goals of the project “Experimental production line for 27” liquid crystal display production”.

Nonetheless all equipment is received there are some administrative issues to be solved in the framework of project thus we have requested Central Financing and Contracting Agency to extend deadline for final payment request submission till spring. Thankfully to CFCA final payment request will be extended, only the wording of amendment shall be coordinated.

Project is implemented with European Union Regional development fund co-financing (project number 1.2.1.4/18/A/017). Total costs are planned to be 1.25 million euro, including ineligible costs and European Union co-funding 493 123.60 EUR. Project implementation deadline is December of 2022nd.

EuroLCDs Ltd in the framework of project “Experimental production line for 27” liquid crystal display production” is moving on with project implementation.

Implementation of the project has been extended for 6 months (till December of 2022) thanks to Central Financing and Contracting agency who accepted our initiated grant agreement amendment.

All delivered equipment is functional, but not for all purposes that are foreseen in the project. As reported before, there are necessary some upgrades from supplier of the equipment for its’ ability to produce wider spectrum of products. As agreement has been extended, we can implement necessary upgrades during project implementation.

EuroLCDs Ltd in the framework of the project “Experimental production line for 27” liquid crystal display production” is moving on with the project.

All the delivered equipment is functional, but as reported earlier suppliers’ engineers for on-site work are necessary to add some functionality that is necessary for some production processes. We would like to do additional testing round and carry out the final acceptance test after additional setups, but if we won’t manage, we do the final acceptance till 11th June of 2022, as it’s a deadline for EU funded project. In this case, the additional setup will be postponed to a post-monitoring period of the project.

EuroLCDs Ltd in the framework of project “Experimental production line for 27” liquid crystal display production” is moving on with project.

As reported earlier suppliers’ engineers for on-site work are necessary to finalize equipment setup process. We are now in negotiation status with supplier on possibilities to solve this issue taking into account pandemics situation in Latvia and time frame for project completion. After final setups additional testing round and final acceptance test should be carried out. Above mentioned actions have to be implemented till 11th June of 2022.

EuroLCDs Ltd in the framework of project “Experimental production line for 27” liquid crystal display production” is moving on with project.
Due to raised pandemics levels in Europe some additionally necessary parts for equipment delivery have been delayed up to 2 months. Delays of deliveries have postponed equipment testing phase start and we are still in equipment integration stage.
At this moment, only remote assistance for equipment set-up from manufacturer is planned as pandemics situation in Latvia haven’t improved significantly.

EUROLCDS Ltd in the framework of project “Experimental production line for 27” liquid crystal display production” has found a several solutions to move on with project implementation with support of Central Financing and Contracting agency and other public institutions despite raised pandemics levels in Europe.
Main equipment with delay, but have been received in our factory on 11th January. Shipping was much longer than expected. Now we carry on with necessary infrastructure work to start equipment set up as soon as possible. It looks like only remote assistance for equipment set-up from manufacturers will be possible due pandemics rise in Europe, including Latvia where it looks like emergency situation won’t finish as soon as we would like to. Consequently, equipment set-up can delay significantly which will leave less time for us for experimental technology testing and implementation in production.

EUROLCDS Ltd in the framework of project “Experimental production line for 27” liquid crystal display production” has signed contract with main production line component supplier about ODF (one drop fill) equipment delivery. We are planning to receive and set-up equipment during first half of the next year. Most of experimental equipment specific details are already discussed and tested on small scale. Equipment is in production process phase and might be finished already till the end of this year. Delivery and set-up process will take extra time due to long transportation time and additional requirements for setting it up in clean-room environment.
Other line parts has been ordered as well to achieve opportunity to obtain full cycle production of 27” displays. Delivery is planned till the main equipment is received. Necessary measuring equipment to be received within this project is partly ordered and already partly received.
