Item 1.

          (a)  On February 29, 2000, PixTech, Inc. (the "Company") entered into
the First Amendment (the "Amendment") to the Common Stock Purchase Agreement by
and between the Company and scheduled Purchasers dated October 6, 1999. The
Amendment provided that the Company would sell 9,320,359 shares of its common
stock, $.01 par value per share (the "Shares"), to United Microelectronics
Corporation ("UMC") for US $15,000,000 (the "Funds") in a private placement
approved by the Company's stockholders at a Special Meeting on January 18, 2000
(the "Private Placement").

          On March 28, 2000, the Company, UMC and Palmer & Dodge LLP (the
"Escrow Agent") entered into an Escrow Agreement pending the clearance under, or
expiration of the waiting period under, the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust
Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the "HSR Act"), with respect to the
Private Placement.

          On April 24, 2000, the Company received notice from the Unites States
Federal Trade Commission (the "FTC") that the FTC had granted early termination
of the waiting period under the HSR Act with respect to the Private Placement.
The Escrow Agent subsequently released the Shares and the Funds to UMC and the
Company.

          Upon acquisition of the Shares, UMC's ownership of the Company's
common stock increased from approximately 30.0% to 41.8%.  UMC's ownership of
the Company's voting securities increased from approximately 29.7% to 41.6%.
