And then as my curiosity i opened that CRT Monitor.
The time i opened that monitor i shocked to see the name “LG-Philips Display” on the internal sticker.
Look at the internal sticker.

I done some research on this topic and i came to know some interesting facts that i was not aware of.
Actually LG (Korea) – Philips (Dutch) formed a venture LG-Philips to manufacture LCD Panels in 1999 but after few years in MID 2004 LG Display becomes an independent reputed company.
But still the company LG-Philips Display (Now named as LG Display) develops few LCD panels worldover. Now LG-Philips is named as LG Display which is owned by both Philips and LG electronics.Currently LG owns 37.9% of the company and Philips owns 32.9% in LG-Philips
