LG reaffirm plans to supply OLED panels to Japanese TV makers firms

Reuters reports that LG said it plans to partner with Chinese and Japanese firms with an aim to make OLED TVs more mainstream.

This isn't really news, as LG Display already supplies OLED TV panels to several companies in China (including Skyworth, Changhong, Haier, Konka and KTC) and is also collaborating with Panasonic and Grundig. LG Display has been in talks with Sony and Panasonic to supply OLED panels since at least January 2013.

 

Interestingly, Reuters says that LG Electronics aims to collaborate with the TV makers. But maybe it's just a mistake by Reuters and they should have said LG Display.
