Prices of flat panels have been dropping quite steadily ever since they first came to market, but apparently, they could've dropped a whole lot lower if it wasn't for those pesky flat panel manufacturers. Three flat panel makers, LG Display, Sharp, and Chunghwa Picture Tubes (tubes...?) have pleaded guilty to engaging in price fixing schemes to the US Department of Justice, and agreed to a shared USD 585 million fine.

Not for OLPC because its LCD is unlike traditional version because it can be read directly on sunlight.

I seem to recall that overpriced displays were cited as a reason for the EEE, OLPC and others failing to live up to their low price ambitions.
Now we know why.
