EU says sent charge sheet to LCD panel makers

BRUSSELS, July 13 (Reuters) - The European Commission confirmed on Monday it had sent a charge sheet to a number of liquid-crystal display makers for suspected price-fixing.

A spokesman for the antitrust watchdog of the 27-nation European Union said the Commission had sent the so-called statement of objections but did not name the companies involved.

Dutch electronics maker Philips (PHG.AS) and South Korea's LG Display (034220.KS) confirmed separately that they had received the statement from the EU executive.
