China-based panel maker BOE has entered Sony's supply chain to supply 28-inch LCD TV panels, according to industry sources.

　　Sony is looking to release new 28-inch units in emerging markets and started putting in orders to BOE in March 2014.

　　BOE expects to produce less than 100,000 units of the panels a month due to limited demand for the size, and will reportedly do so on one of its 8.5G lines.

　　The sources said BOE hopes this business opportunity will help improve relations between it and Sony and further pave the way for more cooperation in the future.
