Panasonic racks up a record loss for 2012, looks forward to profits and a partner for OLED TVs

Panasonic’s yearly earnings are in and the red ink added up to a record $ 9.7 billion net loss for 2011.

Customers are thereby able to view the item’s online popularity in the real world to help them make their decision.
