There is the obvious appeal of gaining Sharp's remaining panel business and the Sakai fab that would add to the scale of the Innolux panel business that the firm owns. I have said before that simply adding two old fabs together rarely is useful, but in this case, Foxconn would be gaining one of the best of current fabs in the form of the Sakai G10 plant. It would certainly help the InFocus business that Foxconn has an investment in and is developing as a B2C brand to have a fully vertically-integrated supply chain. Adding Sharp to that brand, with both companies able to offer big displays would make some sense, and it seems a reasonable bet that Foxconn could make some cost savings (although Sharp is not notoriously profligate or wasteful).
