Kana Inagaki, For Japan Inc, Display Venture Is Rare Revival; Sony, Toshiba and Hitachi overcame corporate-culture fights in merging screen units; Stock sinks at open. Wakll Street Journal, Mar 19, 2014.

My comment:
(a) "Stock sinks at open" refers to initial public offering of Japan Display at Tokyo Stock Exchange yesterday (Mar 18).
(b) There is no need to read the text. Whta is interesting is the graphic of the report:

"Shipment Leaders[;] Global market share for small and midsize LCD panels.

Japan Display 16.2%
Sharp 15.1%
LG Display 14.2%
Innolux 11.3%
AU Optrometrics 7.5%
CPT 6.3%
Others29.6$

(i) InnoLux Corp  群創光電股份有限公司 (established in 2003; acquisition of Chi-Mei completed in 2010)
(ii) CPT stands for Chunghwa Picture Tubes, Ltd  中華映管股份有限公司
Both are based in Taiwan. In other words, Taiwan remains the largest producer of "small and midsize LCD panels" for cellphones and tablets.
(iii) The text does not mention the graphic, which itself has not date or year. The data is believed to be current.
