In 2003 Lite-ON appoint Dragon Group as their sole distributor in Indonesia.

In 2006 Lite-On IT Corporation acquired BenQ Corporation's optical disc drive business to become one of the top 3 ODD manufacturers in the world.

In March 2007, Lite-On IT Corporation formed a joint venture with Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. for their optical disc drive division as Philips & Lite-On Digital Solutions Corporation (PLDS).
