Abstract
TFT-LCD industry underwent some changes in 2006, due to the expectant growth of LCD TV and the more and more aggressive investment. Up until this point, TFT-LCD industry is mainly allocated all over East Asia, including Taiwan, Korea, Japan and China. Among these countries, corporations from both Taiwan and Korea utilized mass capital to invest on technology to gain market leadership. Korean government recognized TFT-LCD as one of the best 10 products which possess global competitive competency while Taiwanese government declared TFT-LCD the first priority in national project,兩兆雙星. Regardless, TFT-LCD industry obtained strong support from national government. Hence it is reasonable to assume that industry with high investment needs and high risk must attain strong backbone support from the authority.
This study first examines the theory on East Asian development models and incorporates National Innovation System as a framework to introduce Korean Chaebol system. Further analyzes the development process of TFT-LCD industry in Korea to find the strength, weakness and future challenges of Korean Chaebol system.
Both Taiwanese and Korean government adapted different measures to support development of TFT-LCD industry which effect in corporations with different competency. Korean government allocated resources mainly in 3 companies, in contrast to Taiwanese approach of distributing to numerous companies. As TFT-LCD industry evolves over time, Taiwanese government should decrease the number of firms and increase proportional resources.
