Take Sharp Corp., for instance. For the past 12 months it has been operating the only eighth-generation (8G) manufacturing facility in the world: the Kameyama No. 2 Plant, in western Japan. (Eighth-generation plants build displays on 2.2-by-2.4-meter panes of glass, making them ideal for 45- to 50-inch LCD TV panels. Seventh-generation plants work with 1.87-by-2.2-m panes.) &amp;hellip;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
