Founded in
1992, Coretronic was the first company to offer LCD
backlight and VGA modules in Taiwan.
In 1993 and 1995, the company introduced a VGA analog
input LCD Monitor and in
1995 a VGA projector
weighing less than 10 pounds. The year 1997 represented
a milestone for Coretronic: the company's expertise and
excellence in the LCD field helped it win the OEM
business to manufacture LCD monitors for two global
customers. Coretronic continued its ambitious expansion
in the following years, moving into its current Hsinchu
headquarters in 1998, becoming a public company on
Taiwan 's OTC
market (5371) in 1999.
In January 2000, the company's English name was changed
to Optoma Corporation and later that year it
successfully established facilities in Mainland
China. The
name of the company was further changed to Coretronic in
December
2001 in order to be
separated from the Optoma brand name and allow
Coretronic to focus on the OEM manufacturing business.
