"The company's share prices fell sharply amid the outlook made by IHS Markit, which hinted at LCD panel prices falling 6 percent,"
an official from LG Display said.

Following the sharp decline, the main bourse operator Korea Exchange decided to ban the over-the-counter short-selling of LG Display's shares on Friday. (Yonhap)
