Background: JDI Taiwan Kaohsiung Branch

JDI Taiwan Kaohsiung Branch (JDIT-K), a new branch of JDI Taiwan, was formed in Dec 2021 to advance the design, development and sales of market leading industrial LCD display business previously handled by Kaohsiung Opto-Electronics Inc.

Since 2012, Kaohsiung Opto-Electronics Inc., which carried over the display business from Kaohsiung Hitachi Electronics, has explored the use of displays in various industrial applications while strengthening its cooperation with JDI’s AutoTech business unit to build the comprehensive Rugged+ portfolio and grown the business with value-added solutions. JDIT-K aims to be the market leader in industrial displays.

In Oct. 2021, JDI sold Kaohsiung Opto-Electronics Inc. to Wistron (Taiwanese EMS) but kept Design, Sales and Marketing, and the KOE brand, with the goal of concentrating on the continual enhancement of an extensive range of high-quality and performance-optimised display solutions. Based in Kaohsiung Cianjhen Technology Industrial Park, JDIT-K will maintain a renewed Japanese dedication for the design and sales of high-quality products. The new office is located on the seventh floor of the Forward-Looking Innovation Building.

JDIT-K is proud of inheriting an established LCD heritage. Almost 40 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 IPS, LTPS, and Pixel Eyes technology reiterated JDI’s commitment to providing display excellence. Continued investment in R&D will ensure that JDIT-K stays at the forefront of evolving and ground-breaking display technology.

Japan Display Inc. (JDI) was formed in 2012 by the merger of the small and medium size LCD panel businesses of Hitachi, Sony and Toshiba in conjunction with the Innovation Network Corporation of Japan (INCJ). In January 2021, JDI adopted a new management structure to accelerate fundamental changes in how to run the business and better serve WW customers. At JDI we want to create a better world, one rich in opportunity for all. We are empowering each and every JDI member globally to welcome challenge, bring fresh perspectives to solving customer problems, and drive world-changing technological innovation.  

JDI is targeting global No. 1 technology leadership to best serve customers and deliver PersonalTech for a better world.
