Chi Mei Industrial Factory was founded by Wen-Lung Hsu in Tainan City in 1953. For more than 50 years, the Chi Mei Group has kept developing new technologies in the petrochemical field. In 1998, Chi Mei invested in the TFT-LCD(Thin Film Transistor-Liquid Crystal Display) and established the Chi Mei Optoelectronics Corp., which coordinated Taiwan’s best technical team of researchers. In the following year, the first large size TFT-LCD panel was developed and won high praise in the industry. Furthermore, in 2001 the Chi Mei Group set up a joint venture with IBM in the International Display Technology Ltd. This not only enabled Chi Mei Optoelectronics to be competitive in technique, output capacity, and cost, but also had a doubling effect, increasing technique and marketing.
