Company patents

TCL China Star Optoelectronics Technology Co., Ltd.

TCL China Star Optoelectronics Technology Co., Ltd. demonstrates a primary focus on display technologies, with "Display Drivers" and "Liquid Crystal & Optical Modulators" each accounting for over 37% of its portfolio. While 2024 saw significant patenting surges across most categories, including a +700.0% YoY growth in "Multi-Chip & 3D Assemblies" and +900.0% in "Signs & Displays (Static)", the sharp declines in 2025 and so far in 2026 across nearly all categories, such as a -81.1% YoY drop in "Display Drivers" and -100.0% in "Integrated Circuit Layout & Arrangement" for 2026, suggest a dramatic shift or re-evaluation of its patenting strategy following the intense activity of 2024.
