US has negative account balance for dozens of years. Debt of over 100% of its GDP. Almost no reserves. It lives only thank to constant loans from its partners. Mostly China. If China stops doing it, US economy will collapse.

    You know China is in a very very large debt right. The economy is larger due to more people, however the country is almost bankrupt.

              I_feel_sorry_4_them, 20 Feb 2015Those poor fools. This is the next GT Advanced in the making.JDI/Sharp are one of largest display manufacturers. And they have best LCD technology at the moment, branded IGZO and New Mode. You can see them on Meizu devices, some Sharp and some iPads. Those are best out there.

              They also works on own OLED implementation, yet it's not ready for mass market yet. They also work with Qualcomm on MEMS TFT that promises to be better than LCD TFT. It'll goes mass market next month.
