About Kunio Nakamura
- Kunio Nakamura (?? ??, Nakamura Kunio, born July 5, 1939) is a Japanese businessman.
- He served as the president of Panasonic from 2000 to 2005 and assumed the position of chairman on June 28, 2006.
- Even though he is widely regarded as having reformed the company, he created a crisis in the mid-2000s for focusing on plasma display panels (PDPs) instead of medium liquid crystal TVs (LCDs).At the 2010 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Panasonic introduced their 152" 2160p 3D plasma.
- In 2010 Panasonic shipped 19.1 million plasma TV panels. In 2010, shipments of plasma TVs reached 18.2 million units worldwide.
- Since then shipments have declined substantially; the decline has been attributed to competition from liquid crystal (LCD) televisions, whose prices have fallen more rapidly than those of the plasma TVs.
- In late 2013, Panasonic announced that they would stop producing plasma TVs in March 2014 onwards.
- In 2014, LG and Samsung discontinued plasma TV production as well, effectively killing the technology, probably because of falling demand.
