A few days ago we reported that Toshiba Mobile Display plans to invest around $1.2 billion in a new LCD factory that will make small-sized LTPS LCD displays, and Apple will be the client (and will also invest in the new plant). Today we hear pretty much the same story about Sharp - another $1.2 billion LCD plant, and Apple is the client and investor again.
The new plant is actually an expansion of Sharp's existing factory in kameyama. And the Apple bit isn't official yet (the same as was the Toshiba story - which actually denied the fact any connection to Apple).
