It seems so. I primarily see it played for laughs in media these days, with hyper-advanced toilets or useless robots.
Of course Japanese suppliers are involved in many advanced industries (image sensors, displays, solid-state storage, heavily-integrated packaging, battery cells) but now days they often outsource production too.
- rejectedandsad 5y agoThe OLEDs all seem to be LG designed these days. With you on the image sensors though - a few years ago it was one of the most successful Sony divisions thanks to their Apple deal for the iPhone
- trynumber9 5y agoIt depends, JOLED makes some panels for LG. Smaller scale but technically interesting.
- njacobs5074 5y agoHaving spent a fair amount of time in Japan with the "hyper-advanced toilets", I would kill to have those easily accessible where I live now (South Africa). Not only did they leave my bum amazingly clean, a packet of toilet paper literally sat there and gathered dust. I think that there is a lot of tech in Japan focused on quality of life improvements that just sits in the background. Perhaps given the aging demographics of the society, this is a good fit.
