TOKYO —

Casio Computer Co said Friday it will form a joint venture with Toppan Printing Co next year to develop and produce organic electroluminescent displays. The joint venture will combine Casio’s display production technology and equipment with Toppan Printing’s microfabrication technology.
   
Casio will first set up a new firm in February to take over its display division including around 600 employees from an organic EL display development team and a liquid crystal panel production unit. Casio will later sell an 80 percent stake in the new firm to Toppan Printing. The firm will be capitalized at 400 million yen. Organic EL displays, which are thin and consume less power, are mainly used in mobile phones.
