The Company was formed in 2001 when Royal Philips Electronics of the Netherlands and Korea’s LG Electronics merged their respective Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) businesses. Under the agreement, LG and Philips share equal control of the joint venture, which is legally established in the Netherlands, with operational headquarters in Hong Kong.

It will be interesting to see what they will come up with now that they have merged resources. Both LG and Philips are among the more prominent in CRT technology, even though LG have appeared more anonymous than they are (they are quite prominent in monitor CRT's, Apple being one of their customers for instance).
