Taipei, Jan. 23 (CNA) Innolux Corp. (群創), one of Taiwan’s leading flat panel makers, ranked as the second-largest TV panel supplier in the world in 2015, up one notch from a year earlier.

The ranking was on the back of relatively low production costs, which helped the company grab a bigger market share, according to Taipei-based market information advisory firm TrendForce Corp. (集邦)

Citing a research report from its panel research unit WitsView, TrendForce said that Innolux benefitted from its higher competitive edge in production of 39.5-inch TV panels to receive more orders, while it also won a bid to supply TV screens to the Mexican government.

Innolux shipped 51.73 million TV screens in 2015, up 3.1 percent from a year earlier. It was the first time it had taken second place in global TV panel supply, TrendForce said.     [FULL  STORY]
