This is not the first "Top 100" honor that TCL Group won this year. Two months ago, nine ministries and commissions including the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Science and Technology, and the State Intellectual Property Office jointly reviewed and selected the “National First Pilot Enterprise for Innovative Enterprises Top 100 Projectsâ€. The first batch of innovative companies announced was only 9 companies. TCL Group is the only consumer electronics company to be shortlisted, and it is the only home appliance company to be shortlisted.
TCL quietly became the top consumer electronics
This year marks the 30th anniversary of the selection of the Top 100 Electronics Companies and marks the 35th anniversary of the establishment of the TCL Group. In 1991, TCL entered the list of China's Top 100 Electronic Enterprises by 58 and jumped year by year. After becoming the ninth in the Top 100 in 1997, it has been ranked in the top ten. It is worth noting that during the 29th Top 100 Selection in 2015, TCL exceeded Hisense and Changhong in one stroke and became the #1 consumer electronics company. At that time, TCL Group had just advanced into the "100 billion yuan of clubs" in annual sales, and was also the first company to have sold 100 billion yuan in sales in the consumer electronics field.
In the 30th E-Hundred Election of 2016, TCL, which celebrates its 35th birthday, still maintains a hard-won situation - ahead of color TV giants Hisense and Changhong, the latter two being state-owned consumer electronics companies. Leaders. In front of TCL on the top 100 electronic companies, there are Huawei and ZTE, which mainly engage in communications services. Haier, which mainly manages household electrical appliances, is involved in consumer electronics businesses such as mobile phones and TVs, but unlike TCL, it is Pure consumer electronics companies. TCL has already left its competitors in the field, such as Hisense and Changhong.
According to data from IHS technology, in 2015, TCL Multimedia's TCL Multimedia sold 17.84 million sets of televisions globally, ranking third in the world after Samsung and LG; according to Σintell survey data, the first half of 2016 , TCL's China Star Optoelectronics has become the world's fifth largest shipment of TV LCD panel suppliers; according to Gartner company data, TCL Group's TCL Communications mobile phone shipments in 2015 ranked fifth in the global mobile phone manufacturers, but also overseas market sales The first domestic mobile phone manufacturers.
As a benchmarking company in China's advanced manufacturing industry, TCL is going to climb another peak.
Continuous R&D investment and layout technology frontier
In the past 35 years, from a company engaged in tape production to the first place in consumer electronics, as a high-tech enterprise, TCL has only one magic weapon - R&D. Since the listing of the TCL Group in 2004, it is hoped that the acquisition of Thomson Color TV and Alcatel Mobile will take a "inheritance" road to technology, but it is counterproductive. Li Dongsheng, Chairman and CEO of TCL Group, realized that there is no short cut to technology innovation and can only rely on independent R&D, talent pooling and long-term investment.
In 2005, TCL Group Industrial Research Institute was established. It is positioned as the central research institute of TCL Group, focusing on pre-research and development of predecessor technologies for home and personal consumer electronic products. In their internal words, it is responsible for the research and development of the next 2 to 3 generations. The product. The TCL QD TV, which made the world's peers shine at the IFA in Germany in September last year and the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas in January this year, came from this sector.
As a R&D institution built by a company, the market often determines its research direction. Since its establishment more than a decade ago, TCL Industrial Research Institute has established a National Digital Home Engineering Center in Guangzhou, an Android operating system and software research center in Xi'an, and a “TCL American Technology Innovation Center†in Silicon Valley. It also hatched a group of companies with a market capitalization of over 100 million yuan. For example, Duntai Technology, which manufactures LCD display driver chips, was listed in Taiwan in November 2013; Huaneng Technology, which operates Internet TV operations, has already Covering more than 50% of domestic Internet TV; building a global broadcast of broadcast control platform, is currently the largest Internet intelligent terminal technology service provider in China.
Currently, various cutting-edge technologies such as AI (artificial intelligence), big data, 5G communication, and display technologies emerge in an endless stream. The TCL Group actively responds by setting up an R&D center at the Hong Kong Science Park. In recent years, the R&D Center has established close scientific research cooperation with Hong Kong universities, including the establishment of a forward-looking R&D cooperation with Hong Kong University for new display materials technologies, and the establishment of a joint laboratory; and the signing of a 5G research cooperation project with the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology; Discussed and collaborated with City University of Hong Kong on the application of new molecular sensor technology; working with the Hong Kong Polytechnic University to establish a joint artificial intelligence/robot laboratory.
Investment Printing Shows Preemption
The technical layout of downstream products has enabled TCL to win some of the initiative in the market. However, to further control the downstream market, it is necessary to deploy a huge investment and technology-intensive upstream display industry, because the LCD panel takes up 80% of the total cost of the color TV set. In January 2010, Huaxing Optoelectronics 8.5-generation LCD panel project with an investment of 24.5 billion yuan was started. It is understood that, at present, TCL has invested 66 billion yuan in the display industry, built two 8.5 generation LCD panel production lines in Shenzhen, and built a 6-generation LTPS backplane LCD/AMOLED panel production line in Wuhan. TCL is planning to invest in the construction of the 11th generation LCD panel production line of the highest generation in the world, and its investment will reach 50 billion yuan.
TCL's ambition in the panel area is not limited to this.
At the end of 2014, TCL’s QD TVs began mass production. In 2015 and 2016, QD’s new products were launched and “interviewed†with international counterparts. But what TCL is really interested in is the printed display of quantum dot technology. TCL Multimedia CTO Chen Guanglang once explained to the China Electronics News reporter that the current quantum dot TV is only a small step in the development of quantum dots. Li Dongsheng, chairman of TCL Group, even said publicly: “We hope to use three to five years to develop a new generation of printed display technology that will be in sync with the international advanced level in the next round of display technology competition.â€
In the future, the printing display can break the large-size OLED bottleneck and eventually achieve the goal of “manufacturing the display like an Indian newspaperâ€. The realization of large-area, light, thin, and flexible display applications is an important direction for display technology development. TCL has been prioritized and balanced development in five major areas such as quantum dot material synthesis, quantum dot printing devices, printed display technology, G4.5 print display platform, and G8.5 print display platform.
In 2014, TCL Huaxing Optoelectronics and Tianma Microelectronics Co., Ltd. jointly injected capital to establish Guangdong Juhua Printing and Display Technology Co., Ltd. Meanwhile, they introduced South China University of Technology and other companies as shareholders, the Chinese Panda, Tsinghua University, and related research institutes of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Sun Yat-sen University, South China Normal University, etc. also joined as important strategic parties.
Recently, Juhua Display Technology Co., Ltd. announced the signing of a strategic cooperation agreement with the world’s top companies such as DuPont, Sumitomo Chemical, Nissan Chemical, and Cody, etc., which will fully support Juhua’s materials and processes in the development of printed OLED technology. Demand, tailor-made related R&D equipment for Juhua, and escort Juhua in the field of printing OLED technology.
As the most promising next-generation display technology, the success of printing OLEDs is worth the wait. By then, China will be able to break Korea's monopoly position in the large-size OLED field and become a leader in new technologies.

Huawei ranked 44 and Huaxing Optoelectronic ranked 70, ZTE ranked 85, and ZTE even this year. The top 100 electronic rankings are also before TCL.
"If you do not seek a global plan, you will not be able to seek a domain. If you don't seek a million people, you will not be able to find a moment." TCL's investment in research and development is by no means a one-time plan, and its effectiveness is even longer.
