Last updated: October 12 2004 07:50 In the historic town of Kameyama in Mie Prefecture, employees at Sharp’s cutting edge factory work around the clock to produce state-of-the art liquid crystal display panels for hot-selling flat panel TVs.
Sharp’s Kameyama plant is part of the Crystal Valley project, launched by the local government in 2000 with the aim of attracting LCD-related manufacturing facilities to the prefecture.
Mie is not the only prefecture that has succeeded in winning big manufacturing investments.

Kameyama, in western Japan, was one of those towns.
Rural towns like Kameyama, with about 40,000 residents, were the hardest hit by the "hollowing out" of Japan's manufacturing sector as firms shut factories to build new ones in China, where a company can hire 20 workers for the price of one in Japan.
Mie, better known for its famous Matsuzaka beef than its electronics, wants to become the heart of Japan's flat-panel display industry under a prefectural government initiative called the "Crystal Valley" project.

 Semiconductor Technology - Sharp Kameyama Mie Plant No. 3 - Integrated LCD-TV Production Facility
The Kameyama (Mie Prefecture, Japan) plant is vertically integrated to streamline material flow, production and inspection/testing.
Sharp spent approximately ¥100 billion during phases 1 and 2 of the Kameyama Plant, followed by an additional ¥50 billion for the new 2004 phase 3, giving a total investment of around ¥150 billion.
By eliminating the transport of LCD panels between different plants, the Kameyama Plant reduces the need for packaging material, with lower CO2 and NO2 emissions emitted from transport vehicles.

The Kameyama Plant generates one-third of its annual electricity, 12,000kW, using liquefied natural gas (LNG), and utilizes generated waste heat for air-conditioning, hot-water and steam.
LNG volume equivalent to that of 12 tanker trucks is supplied by a 17-km pipeline from the city of Suzuka to Kameyama, which eliminates auto exhaust caused by truck transportation.

 WebWire® | Sharp Kameyama Plant No. 2 to Begin Production Operations
Sharp Corporation’s Kameyama Plant No. 2 will begin processing glass substrates for LCD panels in August of this year.
