The Japanese semiconductor industry decline or a Korean Lesson

According to Japanese media reports, in the procedure of bankruptcy among Japanese semiconductor giant Elpida in two foreign camp in the second round of bidding in the decision to give micron technology (Micron Technology) priority bargaining. I have Diane financial difficulties, in February this year to the Tokyo court filed for bankruptcy protection. The two companies in the field of DRAM global market share ranked third and four (Elpida 13.1%, 11.6% micron), if the acquisition is successful, the global chip market will show Samsung (42.1%), SK (23%), a new pattern of Hynix micron three full.

Elpida company was founded in 1999 in the integration of the NEC and Hitachi made the computer memory business, is the only one of the DRAM manufacturers in Japan, also known as the "pill on semiconductor". As a "quasi national team" of the Japanese government to the enterprise, the government had been 30 billion yen (about 2 billion 400 million yuan) funds support. However, affected by the financial crisis, the appreciation of the yen and other reasons, Elpida continued losses, the decline of business.

Seoul will fall, so far, Japan's largest semiconductor manufacturer Toshiba only one, once dominated the Japanese semiconductor industry to decline.

In fact, more than the semiconductor industry, as the Japanese manufacturing industry leader in the appliance industry outlook is not optimistic. According to the 2011 fiscal year, the annual settlement data show that SONY, Panasonic and SHARP's top three enterprises amounted to a total deficit of 1 trillion yen ($135 billion). Has been supporting the economic development of Japan's decline in home appliances and semiconductor industry, once again cast a shadow over the recovery of the Japanese economy.

Decline in the Japanese electronics industry at the same time, neighbors, but the rapid rise of South Korea, and increasingly become the world leader in the industry. However, there are comments that any industry, any enterprise can escape the "birth", "the rise and fall of the joys and sorrows of the fate of. In the fierce international competition, South Korean enterprises can achieve constant innovation, today's brilliant and how long it is worth pondering. The Japanese semiconductor industry decline or may become its warning.
