Sony will pull OLED TVs from Japan’s shelves, according to a Reuters report that suggested the company was disappointed with demand.
The electronics giant says it will still sell
the panels, which were launched more than two
years ago, in North American and European markets. In
Japan, Sony currently sells an 11” set for 200,000
yen (€1,600). Reuters says the company will end
sales of OLED TV in Japan when inventory runs
out.
Sony’s withdrawal from the Japanese marketplace follows
news from the LG Camp that suggests the company
will begin mass production of 20”, 30” and 40” OLED panels.
