Seagate Technology (NYSE: STX) and Western Digital Corp. (NYSE: WDC) are the two top dogs in the hard drive business. While Seagate's merger with competitor Maxtor years ago should have helped quash Western Digital further, the latter has stayed strong and today has a share price Seagate can only dream of. Indeed, Seagate just tossed out Bill Watkins as CEO as the company tries to put the hurt on the competition. It just got a whole lot harder.

wall mounted tvIndicating reduced profitability in the video display market, Fujitsu (OTC: FJTSY) has announced its departure from the production of high end plasma televisions. This news comes via ars technica and is indicative of a major trending pattern. Much is astir among Japanese electronics manufacturers as companies there take a turn for the lean and are engaged in forming manufacturing power alliances.

Much is being affected by the near total domination of liquid crystal display technology within a tightening, yet deepening image display sector. Take further evidence of change by considering Brian White's post about the exit from rear projection television by Sony Corp. (NYSE: SNE). The LCD field is currently saturated and for it's improvement it needs to thin out.

Strides are still being made in regard to making LCD displays thinner and engineers are working on reducing power consumption. Little can be done however, to improve LCD profitability with so many companies cranking out cheap displays. What's needed now is for some of the remaining display manufacturers to aggressively address some considerable quality issues.
