America and Japan may join forces to manufacture displays in the US — New $13 billion fab proposed by Japan Display Inc. to counter Chinese dominance

Japan Display Inc. (JDI) is proposing a new $13 billion display factory in the U.S. in collaboration with both the Japanese and American governments to counter China's dominance in the display manufacturing sector. The potential partnership aims to strengthen Japan-U.S. ties and compete with China's high-volume, low-cost production. This move could reduce foreign reliance and enhance national security by bolstering domestic manufacturing capabilities. JDI, which has struggled in recent years, is looking to diversify its focus beyond automotive displays with this new venture.
