Sales for the segment were down 1 percent year on year to 334.5 billion yen. The operating loss was 16.3 billion yen, 13 billion more than the prior year’s fiscal first quarter.

Toshiba said, “Even though the visual products business, which includes LCD TVs, is on path for recovery in Japan, it also recorded a decrease on slumping sales in the United States and Europe.”

In its PC business sales dropped “on reduced demand, reflecting a shift in demand to smartphones and tablets” and it posted a loss due to lower demand and the impact of the yen depreciation.
