Sanyo recently announced that they have started buying liquid crystal display panels from Sharp to manufacture their flat televisions. Sanyo is also looking to other suppliers for procurement of lcd panels as well.

According to a recent Reuters post, Sanyo is focusing their future on rechargeable batteries and solar cells as a result of a disappointing consumer electronics performance.

Sanyo said it started procuring LCDs from Sharp in April, and would also continue procurement from other suppliers.
Samsung and Sony also plan on using Sharp LCD panels. In preparation, Sharp is planning to spend close to $4 billion to build a new LCD plant in Japan.
