US, Japan may partner with Japan Display for new US plant under investment package

Tokyo and Washington are looking at building a display factory in the U.S. in partnership with Japan Display as part of Japan’s planned $550 billion investment package, two sources with knowledge of the matter said on Monday.

The plan is aimed at strengthening U.S. display manufacturing amid Washington’s concerns over reliance ‌on China for ⁠display technologies ⁠used in military systems at a time when fierce price competition has pushed most Japanese manufacturers out of the market.
