Tianma Microelectronics - Shenzhen Stock Exchange - SZSE We shall look at this Shenzhen listed stock in China. They are involved in the design and manufacturing of LCD and LCM products. Commercials are still short on this one. What is happening in the LCD market? Just heard that Samsung is going to spin off its LCD business?
