(1) Sony scraps LCD plans with Sharp; Opts to boost procurement abroad instead. Yomiuri Shimbun, Nov. 28, 2010.

Quote:
"Instead of taking part in the operation of a joint firm for producing LCD TV panels at a Sharp-built factory in Sakai, Osaka Prefecture, Sony has opted to boost its procurement of low-priced panels made in Taiwan to about 50 percent of its total supply from the current level of about 30 percent, Sony officials said Saturday
Note: Sakai-shi 堺市 within Osaka Prefecture 大阪府 is on the south of City of Osaka. Both cities are good ports. Japanese Wikipedia says 堺 appeared in 平安時代 (794-1185/1192) meaning and pronounced the same as 境 (border, boundary)--e.g. 国境, 国界, 国堺 are the same in meaning (national border) and pronunciation.

My comments:
(a) Yoshihisa ISHIDA 石田 佳久
(b) The "threads" in his colorful threads":
thread (n): "plural: CLOTHING" www.m-w.com
(c) The report says, "Under Mr. Ishida, Sony has scaled back its production sites and relied more on contract manufacturers. * * * It expects to outsource 50% of its TV production this fiscal year, compared with 20% when Mr. Ishida took over the business."
All to Taiwanese (though this report does not mention it), both LCD panels and LCD televisions.
