China-based TCL hopes to expand its handset presence in overseas markets during 2014, which is likely to bring in increased business opportunities for touch panel makers.

　　Touch panel makers such as Mutto Optronics and Truly Optoelectronics are expected to be some of the main makers to benefit from TCL's move.

　　TCL anticipates 4G handset growth in overseas markets during 2014, and aims to ship 40 million handsets in the year.

　　The company also reportedly aims to ship five million tablets in 2014.
