Fresh from its victory in the HD format war that will bring years of royalties, Sony has decided that its next battle ground would be flatscreen displays.
The electronics giant plans to invest more than $200 million to improve the production technology of OLED (Organic light-emitting diode) displays with the aim of producing competitively priced slabs of all sizes, including large televisions.
