Overview

Chi Mei Corporation is part of a privately-held holding company called the Chi Mei Group, which has numerous subsidiaries. One of them is Chi Mei Optoelectronics (CMO), which was founded in 1997 as a subsidiary of Chi Mei Corporation. Chi Mei Group was the largest shareholder in publicly listed CMO. The new Chimei Innolux Corporation (Chinese: 奇美電子,CMI) is the world’s No. 2 and Taiwan’s No. 1 largest maker of TFT-LCD panels[3] and the likely owner of Westinghouse Digital Electronics. Though CEO Douglas Woo has maintained the confidentiality of the ownership of the private Westinghouse licensee, they admit a significant vertically-integrated relationship exists between the two.[4]

Chi Mei has a partnership with Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation of Japan (Mitsubishi holds 27.08% of shares).[5]

History

The company was founded by Xu Wenlong in 1960 as Chi Mei Industrial Company Ltd., the first acrylic sheet manufacturer in Taiwan; it was renamed Chi Mei Corporation in 1992.[6]

In 2001, the Chi Mei Group along with IBM Japan set up International Display Technology, which it subsequently sold to Sony in 2005.[7][8] In 2010, Chi Mei Optoelectronics, then a subsidiary of Chi Mei Corporation, pleaded guilty to a price fixing conspiracy with respect to sales of TFT-LCDs between 2001 and 2006.[9]
