Sharp, together with CyberNet Venture Capital, Innolux and Advanced Optoelectronic Technology, wants to acquire Delaware-based start-up eLux in October.

The group of companies are all owned by or affiliated with ODM-giant Foxconn. The deal is said to aim to develop and commercialise Micro LED-based products such as large screen displays. After completing the acquisition, Sharp will hold a 31 percent share in eLux, a stake valued at USD 7 million, in order to get related patents.
