QUALCOMM, Inc. (NASDAQ:QCOM) and Sharp Corporation are on the verge to co-develop business venture for new screen technology, however there are some obstacles in the way. Most recently the Japanese electronics firm Sharp Corporation reported that a second equity investment by Qualcomm Inc has been delayed due to some agreement issues and will not take place by the end of March.

Sharp is facing troubles as it struggles to streamline core businesses to bolster its balance sheet. At this moment a sudden cash inject is necessary and Qualcomm investment delay would make the mess even harder. The electronics firm was badly crippled by nearly two years of consecutive record losses.

Both companies are fostering collaboration to build “next generation displays” by combining liquid crystal display technology held by Sharp and Qualcomm’s low power display technology. The agreement was initially reported by Sharp on December 4 after Qualcomm pledged to inject 9.9 billion Japanese yen in the venture. Moreover, the South Korean Samsung Electronics also pledged to invest 10.4 billion Japanese yen for 3 percent stake in Sharp.
