Trident Microsystems Company Description
This Trident can't stir up the oceans or shatter rocks like Poseidon's model, but its chips are behind some pretty powerful displays. Trident Microsystems offers integrated circuits (ICs) for digital television, LCD TV, and digital set-top box applications. The company's video processors enhance the quality of both analog and digital TV outputs, while its encoder chips optimize the display of computer images on TV. Trident outsources its manufacturing (mainly to United Microelectronics) and sells primarily to OEMs located in Asia. The company's top customers are Samsung Electronics (29% of sales), Philips (19%), and Sony (28%).
