Sanyo buys LCDs from Sharp

They are buying these LCD panels for being used in their flat TVs sold in North America. Sanyo says that they have returned to the black for the first time in four years and this has been helped by their robust sales of rechargeable batteries and digital cameras. Sanyo and Sharp are considering joint development of kitchen appliances too. Sankyo spokeswoman
