Computer screen dumping charged

Article Abstract:

A group of American manufacturers of flat panel display screens, calling themselves the Advanced Display Manufacturers of America, have filed an anti-dumping petition with the US Department of Commerce charging eight major Japanese electronics companies with unfair pricing practices. The American firms claim the Japanese companies are pricing their flat panel displays at below manufacturing costs in an effort to claim market share and drive out competition. The flat panel displays are used in portable computers because they are much lighter and less bulky than traditional displays. If the Department of Commerce finds unfair pricing, the Japanese companies in question could face significant duty charges on exports to the US.

Xerox has new flat screen that could hold a computer

Article Abstract:

Xerox will demonstrate a new technology that will embed computer-chip circuitry into flat-panel screens. The technological breakthrough will allow photographic clarity in video screens that will be no thicker than a piece of paper. By putting computer technology into the screens, the Xerox technology can be used for scanning and imaging devices for scientific, military and medical uses. The screens could monitor radiation levels in cancer therapy and produce images that will make X-rays obsolete. Xerox, AT&T and Standish Industries are creating a consortium to develop flat-panel display products that will allow the US to regain leadership in the flat-panel market from the Japanese. The three are seeking federal funding.

U.S. seeks broad ban on computers

Article Abstract:

The U.S. and Japan plan to re-negotiate a seven-year-old secret accord in Mar 1991. The agreement calls for a limit on the sale of supercomputers to countries that have not signed the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, including nations in Eastern Europe and the third world. The U.S. seeks to expand the U.S.-Japan accord to include other countries capable of producing supercomputers, including Germany, Great Britain, Italy, France and the Netherlands. The U.S. hopes that Japan will join it in international efforts to limit supercomputer exports from these countries. Supercomputers are vital tools for the development of missiles and nuclear weapons.
