The seven firms are: Planar Systems, Ovonic Imaging Systems (now called Optical Imaging Systems or OIS), Plasmaco, Cherry Corporation, Electro-Plasma, Photonics Technology, and Magnascreen. The petition itself was prepared by the law firm of Collier, Shannon and Scott with the assistance of the Georgetown Economic Services. The 120,000 threshold for HIC displays is somewhat controversial. Some individuals argue that a display does not qualify for HIC status unless it has at least 500,000 pixels. If the LCD has one or more levels of grey, grey-scaling is achieved by varying the voltage applied. The latest version of super twist technology is called ‘triple super twist nematic’ (TSTN). An American firm called InFocus Systems uses TSTN to make direct-view and projection LCDs —but all the manufacturing of LCDs for this firm is done by Kyocera of Japan. The average selling prices of LCDs come from a briefing by Joseph Castellano, Stanford Resources, Inc., 11 December 1991. There are important distinctions between alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) PDPs that will not be discussed here. Leading-edge wafer processing equipment is geared to 8-inch wafers.

(London: UBS-Philips and Drew, 18 October 1989). Sharp briefly funded a small American firm called Amtel Video in its efforts to produce a white-light modulator called ‘crystal scan’ (see sektion on American firms below). Interview with Dan Evanicky of DynaBook on 14 August 1990: Ogisu, p. 4. It should be noted that Citizen produces one of Compaq's LTE laptop models in Japan and that the President of Citizen has stated publicly that he would like his company to become a force in laptop computer markets.
