OSAKA -- Sharp is trying again to crack the market for TV display panels by possibly reclaiming ownership of a key factory near Osaka, Chairman and CEO Tai Jeng-wu told Nikkei on Friday.
The Sakai plant, which came online in 2009, is capable of processing some of the world's largest glass substrates into liquid-crystal displays. Its roughly 430 billion yen ($4 billion) price tag was a major factor behind Sharp's financial troubles in recent years.
