Company patents
TCL Technology Group Corporation
TCL Technology Group Corporation's patent strategy reveals a surprising, overwhelming focus on Organic Electronics (OLED), which constitutes 78.4% of its portfolio, despite a significant year-over-year decline of 69.0% so far in 2026. While Functional Materials (38.8% of portfolio) and Nanotechnology (26.7% of portfolio) also show strong historical growth, the complete cessation of patenting in Specialty Semiconductor Devices (Legacy) and LED & Optoelectronics (Legacy CPC) since 2024 indicates a clear shift away from older display and semiconductor technologies.
