Turning to Taiwan, though Chunghwa Picture Tubes initiated R & D in flat panel displays in 1983, it was not able to overcome technology obstacles. Thus it was not until 1999 when it received a license from a Japanese company with advanced display technology that Chunghwa Picture Tubes truly broke into this stellar new industry for the 21st century.
反觀國內，雖然中華映管早在 1983 年就涉入平面顯示器研發，但技術一直無法突破，直到 1999 年獲得日商先進顯示器技術公司授權，才真正越過這個新世紀明星產業的門檻。
