Sony Mobile Display

Sony Mobile Display is a science topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Sony Mobile Display rather than just read about it. In short: Sony Mobile Display Corporation was a subsidiary of Sony Corporation and produced Low-temperature polysilicon, amorphous silicon TFT LCD panels, organic EL displays and touch screens for use in mobile products such as camcorders, digital cameras, mobile phones, automobiles, etc. Its manufacturing plants were located in Higashiura, Aichi and Tottori, Tottori, Japan.

Key takeaways

Sony Mobile Display belongs to science; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Sony Mobile Display to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Sony Mobile Display from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Sony Mobile Display Corporation was a subsidiary of Sony Corporation and produced Low-temperature polysilicon, amorphous silicon TFT LCD panels, organic EL displays and touch screens for use in mobile products such as camcorders, digital cameras, mobile phones, automobiles, etc. Its manufacturing plants were located in Higashiura, Aichi and Tottori, Tottori, Japan. The business of the company was transferred to Japan Display Inc. on April 1, 2012.

History On October 22, 1997, ST Liquid Crystal Display Corporation (STLCD), a 50:50 joint venture between Sony Corporation and Toyota Industries Corporation, was established in Higashiura, Aichi, Japan. On March 31, 2005, Sony and Toyota Industries acquired International Display Technology Corporation (IDTech) and renamed it to ST Mobile Display Corporation (STMD).

Recent history On December 1, 2007, STLCD and STMD were merged to form Sony Mobile Display Corporation. On June 30, 2009, Epson and Sony agreed to transfer certain business assets relating to small-and medium-sized TFT LCD operations. On June 1, 2010, Sony Mobile Display sold the Yasu plant to Kyocera Corporation. On August 31, 2011, Innovation Network Corporation of Japan (INCJ), Hitachi, Sony and Toshiba announced that Hitachi Displays, Sony Mobile Display and Toshiba Mobile Display will be merged to form a new company called Japan Display Inc. (INCJ 70%, Hitachi 10%, Sony 10%, Toshiba 10%). On April 1, 2012, the company became a wholly owned subsidiary of Japan Display and renamed Japan Display West Inc. On April 1, 2013, Japan Display West (formerly Sony Mobile Display), Japan Display Central (formerly Toshiba Mobile Display), and Japan Display East (formerly Hitachi Displays) were merged into Japan Display.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Sony Mobile Display

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Sony Mobile Display claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Sony Mobile Display before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Sony Mobile Display ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Sony Mobile Display

In research: Sony Mobile Display appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Sony Mobile Display in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Sony Mobile Display is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Companies based in Aichi Prefecture, Defunct companies of Japan, Display technology companies, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Sony Mobile Display outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
