TOKYO -- Japan Display announced sluggish first-half results recently, as the maker of liquid crystal displays was hit by a shift to OLED screens in Apple's newest iPhones and slumping sales to Chinese smartphone makers.
The company said it posted a net loss of 68 billion yen ($596 million) for the first half of fiscal 2017, compared with a net loss of 16.7 billion yen for the same period a year earlier.
