TPV Technology

(SEHK: 903)

Hong Kong

The world's top computer monitor maker, TPV acquired Philips display-making business last year. And the move is paying off for TPV Chairman Jason Hsuan. Earnings jumped 33% during the first quarter, to $35 million and revenues surged 87%, to $1.54 billion. The popularity of LCD TVs is driving demand for the company's thin-film transistor liquid-crystal displays, or TFT-LCDs. However, recent warnings of slower demand by key rivals such as AU Optronics could spell turbulent times ahead for TPV, which has a market-leading 20% of the global LCD monitor-making market.
