Sharp - no plans to develop OLEDs

Doug Koshima, Sharp's Chairman says that Sharp still has no plans to develop OLED, and are sticking with LCD. This is a big bet by Sharp - if OLED TV start to take off, they might be left behind (like Sony did with LCDs and PDPs) - also OLEDs are great for PR, and Sharp might be seen as 'conservative'. On the other hand Sharp are saving a lot of money with R&D...

Earlier this year Sharp said that OLEDs will not threat LCDs for at least a decade.
