[더구루=홍성일 기자] It has been claimed that Sharp will supply displays for the Japanese console game console manufacturer’s new handheld console. With both Sony and Nintendo working on new handheld consoles, attention is likely to be focused.
According to the industry on the 15th, Sharp will supply displays for new game consoles to be released in the future. This fact was revealed through Q&A with investors at Sharp’s earnings announcement on the 11th.
In the question and answer session that took place on the day, an investor asked Sharp whether they were supplying displays to game consoles, and Sharp answered, “It is not supplying displays to existing consoles, but displays for new consoles.” The Japanese version of Bloomberg also reported on the 11th, “The CEO of Sharp did not mention the specific company name or product name, but said that he was participating from the R&D stage of a new game console.”
Sharp originally included the content in public announcement materials, but finally deleted it and made it public.
With the news that Sharp is discussing the supply of displays for the new console, rumors are continuing regarding what product it will be installed on. What is currently being talked regarding is Sony’s new handheld console and the successor to the Nintendo Switch, which are currently rumored to be released.
Sony is said to be developing a portable console called the ‘Playstation Q Lite’. According to foreign media on the 5th of last month, Sony conducted a QA test of the Q Lite console. Nintendo also nailed that it will not release new hardware until the spring of 2024, but according to local media such as Nikkei, it is spurring the development of a new console.
Sony is currently receiving LG Display’s panels for TVs, but uses Japan Display’s products for small displays such as smartphones. In the case of the Nintendo Switch, Samsung display panels are mounted on OLED products. However, in the case of Nintendo, since it has been mainly equipped with displays produced in Japan before using Samsung OLED panels, it is highly likely that it will release console products with Sharp displays in the future.
