Sony and Samsung had a collaborative contract that expired last year whereby they developed the panels together and they were manufactured at Samsung's facilities (the operation of which was, obviously, partially funded by Sony).
When the contract expired, Sony and Samsung parted ways and Sony hooked up w/ Sharp. The 2009 Sony products either use older Sony/Samsung panels or Sharp panels depending on the size (i.e. a 40" Sony HDTV would use a Sony/Samsung panel since Sharp doesn't make a 40" panel, they make a 42" panel). The upcoming 2010 Sony products and beyond will use co-developed panels manufactured at Sharp's facilities.
