The global display industry remains in a state of flux, as evidenced by Sharp, a prominent Japanese display manufacturer, once again divesting itself of its core assets. Having sold a majority stake in its Sakai Display Products Corporation (SDP) plant in 2024, Sharp's Kameyama Plant (Plant 2) is now set to change ownership. This facility, which historically supplied high-end screens for iPhones, has been a witness to Sharp's two-decade journey marked by both ascent and decline. Its impending transition underscores the challenges and frustrations faced by Japan's display industry amidst rapid technological advancements and fierce market competition.
