What's more, although the government has announced that it is going to invest more than NT $ 20 billion to develop nanotechnology, in the United States Bell Labs alone invests US $ 300 million in nanotech research and development every year. And in South Korea, which is Taiwan's biggest competitor, Samsung Electronics has already produced a wide-screen television display using nanotech carbon tubes that has made a huge splash.
此外，政府雖宣示六年內要投入二百多億元來發展奈米科技，但比起美國單單貝爾實驗室一年就投入三億美元，台灣最大競爭對手──南韓──更是傾國之力，韓國三星集團已率先用奈米碳管製成螢幕，震驚全球。
