Sharp Corp. and a Hitachi Ltd. display unit said they were probed by Japan's antitrust regulator, after Kyodo News reported the companies were raided on suspicion of price-fixing for liquid-crystal displays used in game players.
The Fair Trade Commission searched offices and outlets of the companies today, Kyodo News reported, without saying where it got the information. The LCDs were used in Nintendo Co.'s DS game player, Kyodo said.
