@Seece found it in Sony PDF (http://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/IR/financial/fr/11q3_sony.pdf).
Sale of Sony's shares of S-LCD Corporation (“S-LCD”)
On January 19, 2012, Sony sold to Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. (“Samsung”) all of its shares of S-LCD, the LCD panel
manufacturing joint venture owned by the two companies, and received cash consideration of approximately 72,348 million yen
(KRW 1.07 trillion) from Samsung. A non-cash other-than-temporary impairment loss of approximately 63,414 million yen was
recorded by Sony on its shares of S-LCD in the third quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2012.
So the loss due the Samsung join venture was posted this quarter (Q3 FY2011)... ~835 million dolar.
That puts the sitiation "a little less worse" for Sony
.
