LCD modules go lead free ahead of schedule
All Hitachi LCD modules produced since 1st April 2003 have been manufactured using lead-free solder.
"As a company, we have fully supported the aims of the RoHS Directive from the start and it has been an absolute priority for us to transition our production lines over to lead-free and reduce the amount of proscribed materials in our products so that they meet the new environmental standard", comments Myrddin Jones, General Manager, Hitachi Display Products Group.
"Industry figures indicate that some 40% of component manufacturers are not yet able to reassure their customers that they will be RoHS compliant by the July 2006 deadline - which is a worrying statistic".
"For Hitachi to attain compliance so far ahead of schedule proves that it can be done and we are extremely pleased to have passed this milestone".
