Tokyo Electron Oct-Dec orders up 17 pct vs July-Sept Tue Jan 10, 2006 06:16 AM ET TOKYO, Jan 10 (Reuters) - Tokyo Electron Ltd. (8035.T: Quote, Profile, Research) said on Tuesday orders for its chip and liquid crystal display-making equipment in October-December rose 17 percent from the previous quarter to about 155 billion yen ($1.35 billion). The October-December orders came in above the company's estimate in November of 140 billion yen due to stronger-than-expected demand for tools to make liquid crystal displays (LCDs), a company spokesman said. Orders at Tokyo Electron, the world's second-largest maker of chip-making equipment behind Applied Materials Inc. (AMAT.O: Quote, Profile, Research) of the United States, are closely watched as a leading indicator of its earnings and share price trends. Shares in Tokyo Electron gained 1.0 percent to close at 7,820 yen, outperforming the Tokyo stock market's electrical machinery index , which fell 0.6 percent. ($1=114.54 Yen)
