Sony withdrew from its joint venture in South Korea\'s Don jeong in 2004, which will enable it to switch to lower-cost outsourcing options, which could revive its troubled TV business.
Sony\'s only other LCD panel maker was produced in a joint venture with Sharp, which owns a 7-cent stake in Sharp.
Fierce market competition is squeezing the profits of TV makers, especially Sony, which analysts have long criticized for being too expensive to produce.
The strengthening of the yen also put pressure on Sony\'s profits, as the value of overseas earnings was eroded when it was remitted back to its own currency.
Last month, Sony warned that it would lose money for the fourth consecutive year of the financial year.
The television sector alone has caused billions of yen losses.
Sony said it would report further impairment losses of 66 billion yen, or $0. 856 billion, for the last three months of 2011 as a result of its withdrawal from the Samsung joint venture.
But the company said in a statement that it expects the move to cut its LCD business costs by 50 billion yen a year.
