<As the Japanese recovery continues and Japanese companies have to become much more competitive to compete globally, this may be changing. Hitachi just gave PRI a very nice order (I don't have the link, but it was posted here within the last 6 weeks). I realize Hitachi isn't a FPD company, but it's the same principal. This was a HUGE win for PRIA.>

Semi fabs are more "multinational" in character, while the flat panel equipment industry is almost exclusively japanese. There are many robot vendors in japan, and PRI (or nay US robot maker) has had little success in japan.
