Japanese government is funding a joint project with leading firms to develop a key technology to produce large, energy-saving organic displays.
The organic light-emitting diode (OLED) panel, which is self-luminescent and does not require a backlight, is seen as a promising next-generation display amid fierce competition in the sector.
Smaller OLED screens are used in cellphones and portable music players but no technology has yet been developed to produce large screens.
The project is aimed at developing a core technology to mass-produce 40-inch or larger OLED displays in the late 2010s.
OLED displays, which sandwich a very thin layer of organic material between plates, offer brighter images and wider viewing angles than the liquid crystal display panels that are currently in use widely. (AFP)
