According to Korean media reports, at 4:33 pm local time on January 29, South Korea, an explosion occurred at AGC's Gumi glass substrate factory in North Gyeongsang Province, South Korea, injuring 9 workers and causing damage to equipment inside the factory.


Currently, the injured worker is not in danger of life.

The Gumi Fire Department said that it has dispatched personnel to the scene, sent the patient to the hospital for treatment, and investigated the cause of the accident.

The Gumi Fire Department believes that the explosion was caused by residual hydrogen or nitrogen in the pipeline when workers were performing maintenance on the factory site.

AGC Korea was established in 2004 by AGC, a subsidiary of Japan's Asahi Glass, in the Gumi Industrial Park with an investment of US$500 million. It mainly produces TFT-LCD glass substrates.

Analysts at Jiwei Consulting believe that the explosion at AGC's Korean factory will affect production, exacerbate the shortage of glass substrates, and cause LCD panel prices to continue to rise.
