Company profile

HKC Corporation Limited, commonly referred to as HKC Corp, is a privately held Chinese technology company headquartered in Shenzhen, Guangdong. Founded in 2001, HKC Corporation employs over 17,000 individuals and reported revenues of approximately $2.6 billion USD in the first half of 2025. The company has announced plans for an IPO registration on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange.

HKC Corporation specializes in the research, development, manufacturing, and sale of advanced display panels and smart connected devices. Its product portfolio includes semiconductor display panels for various applications such as TVs, monitors, notebooks, tablets, cell phones, automotive, and industrial control. HKC also produces intelligent display terminals, including smart TVs, monitors, all-in-one computers, and other IT and smart IoT terminals. The company ranks among the top global manufacturers of large-size LCD panels and is actively expanding into OLED and AMOLED display technologies.

In terms of patent litigation, HKC Corp appears as a defendant in its sole tracked case. This posture indicates that HKC is an operating company defending against an intellectual property infringement claim, rather than a non-practicing entity asserting patents.

The company's notable litigation involves a case filed by Corning Incorporated in the International Trade Commission (ITC), Corning Incorporated v. HKC Corp et al. (2025-01-31). The ITC jurisdiction suggests the case likely pertains to import of goods and intellectual property disputes relevant to HKC's display manufacturing business.
