Hot on the heels of its formal PDP partnership with Pioneer, Matsushita Electric (Panasonic) is reportedly moving into the OLED TV business as well.
According to a report in Digitimes, Matsushita's Panasonic Plasma Display Shanghai Director/President Osakabe Akihiko announced the company's stake in IPS Alpha Technology has grown to more than 50 percent after Panasonic invested in a new TFT LCD plant. The goal, Digitimes reports, is a 15 percent share of the global glat panel market this year, as well as, "to begin producing organic electroluminescent (OEL) models in the future."
Panasonic has not yet formally announced any move into the OLED/OEL market at this time, and the company did not comment further on their OLED plans.
