Japan is looking to boost its tech offering ahead of the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo, as Panasonic and Sony partner with broadcaster NHK to develop televisions with 8K video, reports Nikkei. 

The all-Japanese alliance will focus on creating the ultrahigh-resolution televisions in a market dominated recently by South Korean and Chinese competitors. Televisions with 8K resolution would double the current 4K available offering, allowing for more realistic graphics.
