Pioneer and Sharp to Partner on Small- and Medium-Size Displays

摘要

Display-industry giants Sharp Corp. and Pioneer Corp. announced on September 20 they would form a business and capital alliance that would cover everything from next-generation DVD players to small- and medium-size displays for the automotive market. While industry speculation has sprung up that the deal will also include larger displays such as Pioneer's plasma and Sharp's liquid-crystal-display (LCD) TVs, the two companies have so far only confirmed a partnership on the smaller displays.
