Innolux also sought help from the Tainan City Government to find an alternative water source, Yang said. The water supply issue is less of a problem than the shortage of chips used in flat panels, Yang said. Driver ICs, touch sensors, and power management chips and glasses are in short supply, Innolux said early this month.
