SANYO ASSAULTING HIGH-GROWTH AND POTENTIALLY HIGH-MARGIN SECTORS
:: SANYO AND KODAK = OLEDs CELLPHONE SCREENS
Sanyo announced last week that a joint venture with Eastman Kodak would spend 20 billion yen in the next business year to start making a new type of cellphone screen, using organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), that are brighter and thinner than liquid crystal displays.
:: SANYO BOOSTS CCDs PRODUCTION
Sanyo also plans to boost its production capacity for charge-coupled devices (CCDs), chips used as "electronic film" in digital cameras and photo-taking cellphones.
Sony remains today the world's largest CCD manufacturer, but most of Sony's CCDs, are higher-end chips with millions of pixels for digital still cameras and camcorders.
Camera phone makers initially preferred complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) sensors for their low power consumption and low cost, but Sanyo's success at cutting power use spurred many to switch to CCDs, which offer better sensitivity to light and superior picture quality.
CMOS sensor manufacturers like U.S.-based Micron Technology Inc are trying to boost picture quality to match CCDs.
