Panasonic To Stop Making LCD Panels For TVs (nhk.or.jp)

Posted by BeauHD on Tuesday May 31, 2016 @10:45AM from the end-of-an-era dept.

AmiMoJo quotes a report from NHK WORLD: Japanese electronics maker Panasonic says it will stop making LCD panels for televisions, giving way to fierce price competition. The pullout from TV LCD manufacturing follows the company's withdrawal from plasma TV production 3 years ago. They say they will continue to manufacture LCD panels at the plant for products other than televisions, such as medical equipment and cars. They say the company will keep making Panasonic-brand televisions, using panels supplied by other manufacturers. After Panasonic pulls out, Sharp and its Taiwanese parent firm Hon Hai will be the only producer in Japan.

There were only two manufacturers of professional TV monitor panels: Sony and Panasonic. Now there's one. Guess I'll grab another Sony before they realize they're a monopoly. The irony of a Panasonic TV set with a Sony display is going to be great, though.
