最新的發展是：
華映前總經理林鎮源與一位高階主管，和南韓LG Display前副總Duk-mo Koo涉嫌參與操控全球LCD面板的價格；司法部指出，舊金山一大陪審團指控3人，自2001年9月至2006年12月操控面板價格，如果罪名成立，恐將 面臨10年刑期和100萬美元罰金。（source：中時科技 『操控面板價格案 美司法部再控告華映2名主管』）
當然，老美強硬的發言是不可少的：
“Today’s charges should make clear that there are no safe havens for international cartels that violate the U.S. antitrust laws."
看到了嗎？這才是美帝實力啊！惹到美帝，他們不只能用炸彈轟得你六神無主，也能用司法把你抓到美國受審吃牢飯。
這一波的起訴，跟上次不盡相同，刑期重了很多！不幸的話，有人可能會被判10年。
而這次的起訴原由比上一波起訴寫得更加明確詳盡。
- Attending meetings and engaging in conversations and communications in Taiwan, Korea and the United States to discuss the prices of TFT-LCD panels;
- Agreeing during those meetings, conversations and communications to charge prices of TFT-LCD panels at certain levels;
- Attending regular group meetings, commonly referred to as “crystal meetings,” in hotel rooms in Taiwan and agreeing during those meetings to charge prices for standard-sized TFT-LCD panels at certain target levels;
- Exchanging TFT-LCD shipping, production, supply, demand and pricing information, for the purpose of implementing, monitoring and enforcing adherence to the agreed-upon prices;
- Authorizing, ordering and consenting to the participation of subordinate employees in the conspiracy;
- Issuing price quotations in accordance with the agreements reached;
- Accepting payment for the supply of TFT-LCD panels sold at collusive, noncompetitive prices to customers in the United States and elsewhere; and
-
- Taking steps to conceal the conspiracy and conspiratorial contacts through various means.
2年前，為了研究，我曾經到政府單位要廠商共同參與會議的清單，那時政府單位已經很明白的告訴我，任何的廠商會議參加清單都很敏感，不能給我，因為美國開始大規模司法調查了。連最不敏感的台灣面板廠商參與環境保護改善的會議資料都不可得，就可知道美帝調查的深入與廣度。
