While the client isn't explicitly named, few companies other than Apple could generate the demand that would require a dedicated display production facility. The plant is expected to begin producing displays by the end of next year, according to Bloomberg (http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-11-20/foxconn-unit-to-raise-investment-in-panel-plant-for-apple.html?cmpid=yhoo):</p> <!--break-->

<p>Equipment installation will commence next month with mass production of panels to start by the end of 2015 after an urgent request for exclusive capacity, Sophia Cheng, a public relations representative for Foxconn's display unit Innolux Corp., said by phone, citing comments made by President Wang Jyh-chau at a press conference today.</p>

<p>The facility should help Foxconn keep up with demand for new devices. Not long after the launch of the iPhone 6 (http://www.imore.com/iphone-6) and iPhone 6 Plus (http://www.imore.com/iphone-6-plus), Foxconn was said to be having trouble keeping up with demand (http://www.imore.com/foxconn-reportedly-having-issues-keeping-iphone-6-and-iphone-6-plus-demand) for both phones.</p> <p>Source: Bloomberg (http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-11-20/foxconn-unit-to-raise-investment-in-panel-plant-for-apple.html?cmpid=yhoo)</p> </div></div></div><div id="comment-wrapper-nid-28484"></div><img width='1' height='1' src='http://tipb.com.feedsportal.com/c/33998/f/616881/s/40accfee/sc/4/mf.gif' border='0'/><br clear='all'/>
