Besides, Sanyo also planned to use India as its sourcing base and has already started sourcing slim TVs from India.

Under its Maxx brand, Waves offers its technologies as DSP semiconductors and licensable algorithms for consumer electronics, and are currently used in products from companies including Sony, Sanyo, JVC, Toshiba, and Altec Lansing.

In late September 2008, Sanyo Electric Company, Ltd. announced its decision to build a manufacturing plant for solar ingots and wafers in Salem, Oregon.

The same year the company announced a restructuring plan called the Sanyo Evolution Project, launching a new corporate vision to make the corporation into an environmental company, plowing investment into strong products like rechargeable batteries, solar photovoltaics, air conditioning, hybrid car batteries and key consumer electronics such as the Xacti camera, projectors and mobile phones.

The Sanyo HIT ( Heterojunction with Intrinsic Thin layer ) solar cell is composed of a mono thin crystalline silicon wafer surrounded by ultra-thin amorphous silicon layers.

The plant at Dorog, outside Budapest, will be Sanyo Electric's largest facility producing solar modules in the entire world.

Sanyo and Nippon Oil have decided to launch a joint company for the production and sale of thin-film solar panels, to be named Sanyo Eneos Solar Co., Ltd.

On June 16, 2010, Sanyo Corporation announced the world's most efficient solar module, with a claimed energy conversion efficiency of 20. 7 %.

Plans to expand production were based on rising demands for Sanyo Hungary products, whose leading markets are Germany, Italy, Spain and the Scandinavian countries.

The 2004 Chūetsu earthquake severely damaged Sanyo's semiconductor plant and as a result Sanyo recorded a huge financial loss for that year.

In 2006, HYDIS licensed AFFS to Sanyo Epson Imaging Devices Corporation.

In January 2006 Sanyo received a massive capital injection from Goldman Sachs, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation and Daiwa Securities which resulted in five members of the banks represented joining the nine-person Board of Directors.

On 24 November 2006, Sanyo announced heavy losses and job cuts.

On March 26, 2006, platforms for the JR Kobe Line and Sanyo Main Line switched to the elevated railway, while the remainder of the platforms, for the Bantan and Kishin Lines, were elevated beginning on December 22, 2008.

2010 Panasonic reached an agreement to acquire the remaining shares of Panasonic Electric Works and Sanyo shares for $ 9. 4 billion.

In 1998, Burr-Brown ( now part of Texas Instruments ) and Sanyo Electronics of Japan introduced low cost D to A converters with HDCD decoding included, allowing HDCD to be used in CD and DVD players in the $ 100 range.

In 1969, Fisher sold his company to the Emerson Electric Company for US $ 31 million, which in turn sold the company to Sanyo of Japan.

Currently, more than 2 million hybrid cars worldwide are running with NiMH batteries, Many of these batteries are manufactured by PEVE ( Panasonic ) and Sanyo.

This led to alliances between Japanese calculator manufacturers and U. S. semiconductor companies: Canon Inc. with Texas Instruments, Hayakawa Electric ( later known as Sharp Corporation ) with North-American Rockwell Microelectronics, Busicom with Mostek and Intel, and General Instrument with Sanyo.

** Extended portion of Sanyo Shinkansen between Okayama Station and Hakata Station opens, thus making Shinkansen reaching second island, Kyushu, Japan.

Further renditions of the hardware were released in 1994 by Sanyo and Goldstar.

Through discussions with the manufacturer it was established that the appropriate circuitry integrated into the television set would be less expensive than the stand-alone box, and Ronald May, then a Sanyo employee, provided the expert witness testimony on behalf of Sanyo and Gallaudet University in support of the passage of the bill.

At the same time, many manufacturers such as Xerox, Hewlett-Packard, Digital Equipment Corporation, Sanyo, Texas Instruments, Tulip, Wang and Olivetti introduced personal computers that were MS DOS compatible, but not completely software-or hardware-compatible with the IBM PC.

The American ( English-dubbed ) films are rumored to have been either lost or destroyed, so an official DVD release in the United States seems unlikely, though bootlegs of varying quality exist which were taken from videotaped 1975 KCOP broadcasts of the series using an early pre-Betamax home video recorder, the Sanyo V-Cord.
