TCL’s new global slogan “Inspire Greatness” lit up its physical booth at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2022 in Las Vegas as TCL set out a new ambition for a new era of its smart connected ecosystem.
TCL was at CES to introduce its latest technologies across all product categories. Attracting the most interest were TCL’s thinnest-ever 85-inch 8K Mini LED TV prototype, a high-performance Mini LED monitor and TCL LEINIAO AR glasses.
The new global slogan, “Inspire Greatness”, reflects the brand’s confidence and ambition to provide consumers around the world with ever more value. TCL’s new higher goal is to inspire and empower people to pursue greatness in their lives, an aspiration built upon its ongoing investment in display technology, clean energy, Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI).
After 40 years in the industry, TCL has become one of the global leading technology brands and a key player in consumer electronics, with a diversified product portfolio ranging from home theatre including award-winning TVs, audio; mobile devices such as mobile phones, tablets, and laptop computers; to home appliances like air conditioners, air purifiers, washing machines, robot vacuum cleaners, and refrigerators.
TCL currently operates in more than 160 markets, with over 120,000 employees, 32 manufacturing facilities and 42 R&D centres worldwide including Hong Kong. TCL has become one of the most influential consumer electronics brands, bringing premium home entertainment experiences and smart living experiences to consumers around the world.
Last year’s remarkable business results reflect this global reach. In the first three quarters of 2021, TCL's revenue hit nearly US$30 billion, representing 81 per cent growth year-on-year.
Dedicated to AI research and development
With the global AI and IoT market size estimated at US$ 6,683 million in 2021 and projected growth at a CAGR of 17.16 per cent reaching US$ 14,799 million by 20261, TCL has set its sights on delivering smart living experiences to consumers around the world.
“At TCL, we see artificial intelligence as an essential driving force behind our technological approaches, such as display innovations, photovoltaics and consumer electronics. With continuous investment in artificial intelligence, we want to provide our customers with better products and services in our smart connected ecosystem and expand our partnerships around the world,” said Juan Du, Chairperson of TCL Electronics.
TCL has been investing in extensive research and development in technologies over the years, across displays, AI, big data, 5G and smart manufacturing. Determined to meet the intensifying demand for a smart home where smart devices seamlessly connect, TCL’s goal is to make everyday life easier and more efficient.
Smart screens in smart homes
AI is becoming an increasingly important part of everyday life and the number of devices that comprises the IoT has rocketed. At the same time, the advanced data analytics of AI and IoT’s connectivity are making the benefits of a smart home more appealing to consumers everywhere.
TCL’s focus on smart screens has enabled it to develop the next generation of high-end displays and intelligent interaction technologies across devices of different categories. It has successfully created a connected smart home ecosystem powered by AI and IoT where TCL's large-screen TVs are the entry point to a “smart life”.
Televisions, in connection with screens of mobile devices, help people enjoy their home theatre with premium viewing experiences and interactions with families and friends.
Through smart screens of different sizes, users can control their home appliances via their favourite voice assistants and TCL’s proprietary control hub available on TVs and mobile devices.
To provide consumers with the best quality screens that push the limits of what’s possible with display technology, TCL established TCL CSOT, now a world-leading panel supplier, in 2009. TCL CSOT has reiterated its leadership in innovative display technologies with continued investment in R&D and smart manufacturing, combined with unique vertical integration capabilities.
“At TCL, we always put our consumers first. Everything we do is focused on bringing value to people by improving their lives and experiences with our products and services. We want to make people’s lives safer and healthier,” says Du.
