Taiwan's optical disk drive (ODD) shipments, including label deals with Japan vendors, decreased 5.1% sequentially to 24.98 million units in the second quarter chiefly because the largest maker, Lite-On IT, reduced output while adjusting inventories. Taiwan's ODD makers will increase their output in the second half to meet fourth quarter demand.
