In Reply to: Pioneer to stop making Plasmas posted by jaiva on March 3, 2008 at 16:02:15:
They'll still make the electronics, but the panels themselves will be sourced from Matsushita (Panasonic). This will probably occur for their Gen 10 panels (which will feature the real benefits of 10-lumen tech), as I'm sure the Gen 9 panels are already in production for release later this year.
Matsushita recently announced that they are building another plasma facility to better meet the demands of the market.
