The article presents information on the computer components that are manufactured in Japan. 18% to 25% of the computer cost lies in liquid crystal displays (LCD), the vast majority of which are as Japanese. The Japanese will probably be just as dominant in the likely successor to the LCD: the plasma display flat panel. Already topping out at 42 inches diagonally, plasma displays are larger than the largest cathode-ray sets and are just a few inches thick. As TVs and computers converge, plasma displays, which can hang on the wall, are likely to find their way into living rooms, meeting rooms and lots of other places where large, flat screens might come in handy. The demand for portability in computers plays to Japan's strengths. Sony introduced the first lithium-ion batteries in 1991. These provide three times the operating voltage and last as much as 50% longer than their similarly sized nickel-cadmium and nickel-metal hydride predecessors.
