While rumors go that Lite-On is currently almost giving away their drives without any profit, the company has claimed it currently is the worlds second largest optical storage drive manufacturer.
The company has to give the first position to Samsung, while LG is third on the list. Separately, the company reported a first-half net profit of NT$2.8 billion, or NT$8.98 per share, on sales of NT$21.2 billion
Of the company's first-half output, 51% was in CD-RW drives, 30% in CD-ROM drives and less than 20% in DVD-ROM drives. Going forward, Lite-On IT said it plans to boost the ratio of DVD-ROM drives in shipments to over 30%, while decreasing that of CD-ROM drives to 20%. Production of slim-type and combo CD-RW/DVD-ROM products is still at an early stage with sizable scale expected by year-end. |
