Restructuring the LCD Business
Sharp is in the process of restructuring its LCD business. What is your view on
the current state of that business?
Q
The market for large-size LCDs, mainly for TVs, remains challenging. Meanwhile,
in the mobile LCD market, there is a tight supply/demand balance for high value-
added LCDs. In both fields, we need to shift to growth areas that make use of Sharp’s
strengths and carry out restructuring to optimize the production framework.
