The location will be settled in the mature southern region of the flat-panel TV industry. However, Wang Lianghai, general manager of Tsinghua Tongfang Digital TV, did not disclose the specific location of the industrial base, the current round and the follow-up investment schedule.

Samsung, Sharp, Hisense, Konka and other TV manufacturers have launched at least 50 new LED backlight TVs in the second half of this year. However, because its price is still 50% higher than the same size LCD TV, the current market share is only 5%.

The sales volume in the domestic market will reach 4 million units next year, nearly four times more than this year, and the market share is close to 30. %.
