As of June 2007, the major Taiwan-based large-size TFT LCD makers are AU Optronics (AUO), Chi Mei Optoelectronics (CMO), Chunghwa Picture Tubes (CPT) and HannStar Display. Innolux Display is different from the key players since it is using a multiple-focus strategy (from panel production to monitor products), while Prime View International (PVI) tends to focus on niche markets.
