Supporting a New System of Innovation: Japan’s Strategy in Liquid Crystal Displays

Stuart Peters

Chapter 7 in National Systems of Innovation, 2006, pp 152-182 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In this chapter, Japan’s position in high technology industries and the strategy it used to build up a dominant position in the LCD industry are analysed. In the first section, it is shown that over the long term Japan’s position in high-technology industries had steadily improved, largely at the expense of Western Europe and the US. From the perspective of Western Europe and the US, the various indicators show that Japan manoeuvred itself into a very enviable position. As discussed in Chapter 4, during the 1980s Japan’s strength in high-technology industries manifested itself in its meteoric rise in the semiconductor industry. In the 1990s the country’s continued strength in high-technology industries had manifested itself in its dominance of the TFT-LCD industry.
