It combines the electronic product that Taiwan’s manufacturing advantages, government’s and enterprises’ efforts, which have already possessed in the world-leading position. Moreover, Taiwan government is devoted to promoting the photoelectric industry to the world arena. This research begins from measurement and observation of the basic industry clustering intensity, to different cooperative way impacts on innovative performance, and then further probe into the impact on innovative performance of clustering. Relevant materials are collected by releasing questionnaire. The parent regards relevant industry's manufacturers of TFT-LCD as samples and releases the questionnaire. The source is of appendix of Hsin-Chu Science Industrial park manufacturer list and other manufacturer of outside the cluster. The design of the questionnaire is according to literatures and hypothesis in the past, and divided into four copositions, supplier's cooperation, customer's cooperation, competitor’s cooperation and the interactive cooperation among the clustered manufacturers. There are 118 valid questionnaires.86 questionnaires are from the manufacturers in Science park and 32 are collected from manufacturers outside the science park. These data are analyzed by SPSS. The result of the study finds there is a significant positive influence of innovative performance that the manufacturer cooperates with customer or with competitor. The reason is that customer has tactical influence to feedback the market demend and co-development direction to the manufacturer. Due to the cooperation on business, technology resource sharing, supply chain integration, can also bring good innovative performance and create benefits. Cooperated with supplier or interaction among clusters didn’t show any relative influence. The reason is that suppliers’ own insufficient innovation ability, and follow majority’s step. From the manufacturers’ point of view, suppliers can only be cooperators and have no significant performance. Interaction among manufacturers are mostly the passive substitutive relationship and caused no apparent improvement of the innovative performance.
