Company profile

TCL King Electrical Appliances (Huizhou) Co. Ltd. — also rendered TCL 王牌電器(惠州)有限公司 ("TCL Wangpai") — is a Chinese manufacturing subsidiary of the TCL group, headquartered at No. 78 Huifeng 4th Road, Zhongkai High-Tech Development District, Huizhou, Guangdong. It was founded on 8 September 1994. Hong Kong Stock Exchange filings describe it as a wholly-foreign-owned enterprise and 100%-owned subsidiary whose principal activity is "manufacture and sale of television products and trading of components"; 2013 filings list paid-up capital of RMB 485.9 million, and Chinese registry data cited by Baidu Baike puts registered capital at HK$1.723 billion. Its equity sits within the TCL Electronics Holdings / TCL Industries (smart-terminal) side of the group rather than the listed TCL Technology (SZSE: 000100) panel business. One TCL recruitment posting lists headcount above 7,000; TCL Industries overall reports roughly 70,000 employees. Consolidated segment-level revenue for this legal entity is not publicly disclosed.

Operations. The company is a TV manufacturing base for the TCL group, operating LCD/LED colour-television and module-to-set integration lines and serving as a global production site for TCL's television business. Third-party company databases describe its registered scope as R&D, production and sale of digital electronic products and communications equipment, including DVD/VCD players, set-top boxes, home-theatre systems, monitors, home appliances and air-conditioning products, plus equipment leasing and software services. It exports TV sets and parts (notably television parts and finished TV sets) to markets including Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Ecuador and the Philippines. It is an operating manufacturer, not a patent-assertion entity.

Litigation posture. The tracked record shows one appearance, as a defendant and zero as plaintiff — consistent with an operating company defending infringement claims rather than asserting patents. The single tracked matter is DivX, LLC v. TCL Technology Group Corp. et al., filed at the U.S. International Trade Commission on 24 November 2021.

Notable context. That complaint, brought by video-technology licensor DivX, LLC, led to ITC Investigation No. 337-TA-1297 concerning video processing devices and digital smart televisions, naming TCL King alongside TCL Technology Group, TCL Electronics Holdings, TTE Technology (Corona, CA), Shenzhen TCL New Technologies, TCL MOKA International and TCL Smart Device (Vietnam). DivX asserted U.S. Patent Nos. 8,832,297 and 8,472,792. The Commission terminated the investigation in May 2022 after DivX and TCL jointly moved to terminate on a settlement agreement. TCL King was also named in a related DivX ITC action instituted in October 2020 (Inv. No. 337-TA-1222), which is not reflected in the tracked case list above. No merits findings against the company are recorded here.
