Ritek, on January 22, announced that it has signed an MOU with fellow Taiwan-based Daxon to purchase the latter's optical disc manufacturing equipment at a total price of up to NT$500 million (US$15.6 million).
The equipment will be mainly used to increase its production of Blu-ray Disc discs, Ritek pointed out.
Daxon has stepped into production of polarizers, optical thin-films, and polymer synthetic materials, and has decided to quit production of optical discs, the company pointed out.
