Chunghwa Picture Tubes (CPT) accounted for 35.0% of the shipments, followed by HannStar Display with 31.8% and Innolux with 19.7%.

Due to off-season effects, Taiwan-based makers' combined shipments in the fourth quarter will decrease 4.7% sequentially to 295.271 million panels, resulting in shipments of 1.182 billion units for the whole year.
