Introduction
2010 truly marked a milestone for Hitachi, as we celebrated the 100th anniversary of the company's founding. During the past 100 years, under the corporate philosophy of "contributing to society through the development of superior, original technology," Hitachi has been dedicated to the design and manufacturing of the best quality products.
Hitachi is a leading global developer and manufacturer of liquid crystal displays. Hitachi is justifiably proud of an established LCD heritage. Over 30 years ago, as an early pioneer of LCD technology, Hitachi developed and produced simple character and dot matrix displays. More recently the development and introduction of in-plane switching (IPS) wide viewing angle technology has reiterated Hitachi?s commitment to providing display excellence. An annual investment of $130m in research and development will ensure that Hitachi remains at the forefront of evolving and ground breaking LCD technology.
Dedicated manufacturing and production facilities in Mobara, Japan and Kaohsiung, Taiwan ensure that continuity of supply can be maintained during extreme market fluctuations. In house design, production and procurement of key components such as LCD glass, colour filters, LCD drivers and backlights, allows Hitachi to provide continual enhancement to an extensive range of high quality and performance optimised display solutions.
In 2007 Kaohsiung Hitachi Electronics (KHE) proudly celebrated 40 years of electronic components and LCD production. During which 30 years extensive knowledge and experience in designing and manufacturing LCD modules has been acquired.
