Japan`s flat panel display companies announce investment plans. With LCD sales expected to soar 41% to 1022 billion yen (about $8.9 billion) this fiscal year, Japan`s top nine LCD suppliers will invest some 246 billion yen (about $2.15 billion) in production facilities this fiscal year (see table). The growth is being fueled by large

demand for notebook computers this year and for 13-15-in. desktop monitors in the coming years.
