Chi Mei company is one of the world's largest makers of TFT-LCD (thin-film transistor liquid-crystal display) flat-panel displays. TFT-LCD panels -- small, lightweight, low-power, and high-resolution -- are used in notebook, desktop monitor, and TV applications. CMO also makes color filters, and is developing OLED (organic light-emitting diode) displays. The company was launched in 1998, but really took off when it purchased a TFT-LCD fab (and licensed the related intellectual property) from IBM in 2001. Exports, primarily to Asia, make up about two-thirds of CMO's sales.

VIA found viable businesses both inside and outside the PC. VIA Technologies took on Intel for market leadership in PC chipsets -- clusters of components that connect a computer's microprocessor to its other parts. VIA's chipsets work with microprocessors made by both Intel and AMD, and can be configured to work with various types of memory chips. Meanwhile, VIA's graphics chip venture took it into the market for core logic chipsets used in graphics applications. The fabless semiconductor company also entered the networking chip niche with its introduction of Ethernet controllers and other devices, and it continues to develop low-budget microprocessors for use in inexpensive PCs.
