According to industry sources familiar to the matter, BOE, which is one of the largest display panel manufacturers in China, made an offer to a Korean driver IC design firm. However, the agreement didn't materialise and they ended up signing a supply contract. The company is also said to be interested in acquiring fabless semiconductor companies. Prior to this, Tsinghua Unigroup attempted to invest in SK Hynix, but failed.
Apparently, other Chinese electronics firms are trying to acquire or do business with Korean brands through aggressive investments and M&As.
