When Samsung entered the TFT-LCD industry in 1989, the Japanese screen makers reigned over the global market with more than 90 percent of the market share. Samsung was in a follower position in the early 1990s, and Sharp had the basic proprietary technology. Samsung could not generate any revenue for the next five years, but continuously invested since it foresaw the emerging opportunity with the flat panel displays.
Again, as was the case in the semiconductor business, Samsung pioneered among the Korean screen makers; other Korean firms followed Samsung’s lead after observing Samsung’s success. LG Phillips LCD also enjoyed almost equivalent levels of success.
