TCL Technology Group Corporation

Chinese maker of display panels and solar photovoltaic materials

What TCL does

TCL Technology makes the screens used in TVs, monitors, laptops and phones, producing both the display panels themselves and the finished modules. It also runs a large solar energy business that makes monocrystalline silicon wafers, cells and modules, and builds and operates solar power plants. Alongside these, it distributes electronic products such as computers, tablets and mobile phones, and runs industrial finance, investment and technology licensing operations.

How TCL makes money

Revenue comes mainly from selling semiconductor display panels and modules to device brands, and from selling silicon wafers, solar cells and modules plus power-plant development and operation. Smaller streams come from electronics distribution, industrial finance and investment, and technology development and patent services.
