Matsushita raises PDP output |
 | | Matsushita Electric Industrial Co, the world's biggest consumer electronics maker, is raising output of plasma display panels (PDP) at a factory in western Japan ahead of schedule because of rising demand for flat-screen televisions. |
 | | Matsushita Plasma Display Panel Co, a venture with Toray Industries Inc, will raise output to 100,000 42-inch panels from this month at its factory in Ibaraki, Osaka, because of rising demand for large screens and the spread of digital broadcasting, it said yesterday. |
 | | Matsushita is seeking a bigger share of the global plasma display market, which may grow by a third to US$11 billion next year, according to an April forecast by researcher ISuppli Corp. Price cuts by panel makers are helping convince more consumers to switch to flat-panel televisions from older cathode-ray tube sets. |
