On September 16, 2025, the China Quality Conference was grandly held in Nanjing. The high-profile China Quality Award Ceremony was also held at the conference. TCL founder and chairman Li Dongsheng was invited to attend the grand event. Among many outstanding companies, TCL Technology stood out from more than 500 acceptance units with its unique extreme, leading and collaborative quality management model and successfully won the fifth China Quality Award, demonstrating its outstanding achievements in the field of quality management. As a core subsidiary of TCL Technology's semiconductor display business, TCL China Star has also achieved fruitful results in promoting the construction of a quality country and practicing high-quality development.
Leading in quality, TCL China Star practices high-quality development. Under the guidance of the ultimate, leading and collaborative quality management model, TCL China Star has achieved dual improvements in quality and quantity in production efficiency. In 2021, TCL China Star introduced this model after acquiring Suzhou Samsung, and immediately achieved remarkable results. The production capacity increased by 19%, the yield increased from 95% to 99%, the cost reduced by more than 15%, and the annual net profit margin increased by 17%. In addition, the average monthly yield rate of TCL China Star's 11th generation line t6 and t7 projects has also increased from 97.5% to 98.7%. Not only that, TCL China Star also actively promotes the localization process upstream of the industrial chain. In 2023, it tutored Sanlipu, a core polarizer supplier, to successfully break the overseas monopoly of upstream film materials and achieve stable domestic production. The average monthly yield of Sanlipu increased from 85% to more than 92%. Starting from 2024, TCL Huaxing will continue to guide the introduction and stable volume of domestically produced film materials 1.0 and 2.0 for upstream polarizers, making the localization ratio exceed 0% to 13%, and the localization depth and proportion of polarizers reach the industry-leading level. TCL Huaxing always adheres to the quality culture of all employees and doing the right thing once, adheres to the quality concept of zero defects, and continuously improves product quality competitiveness. It is committed to becoming synonymous with high quality in the semiconductor display industry and creating high-quality China screens.
Industry upstream and downstream collaborates to jointly create the quality of China's semiconductor display. Against the background of increasingly fierce competition in the semiconductor display industry, TCL China Star continues to promote the high-quality development of the new display industry chain with a long-term strategic vision and a courageous technological innovation spirit. Among them, printed oled technology is the first display technology led by China companies to enter the commercial stage. This technology combines the advantages of high-quality production and intelligent manufacturing with green and low-carbon development. Its material utilization rate is as high as 90%, which not only effectively reduces production costs, but also promotes the process of green production. Moreover, printing OLEDs only requires low-temperature drying and does not need to rely on high-temperature heating production, which can save equipment energy consumption of 300 to 400 million kilowatt-hours per year.
In addition, TCL China Star fully plays a leading role in the industrial chain. Through extensive joint development with upstream and downstream enterprises, universities, research institutes and other units in the industrial chain, it focuses on overcoming core materials and equipment that are in urgent need of localization in the industrial chain. For example, the display panel timing control chip jointly developed by it has achieved a breakthrough in the localization of the first large size and high-resolution display control chip in China, and has now reached applications of more than one million levels. At the same time, TCL Huaxing also actively promotes the coordinated construction of industry standards, focusing on the development needs of the industry, and accelerating the formulation of core key clamping materials such as photoresists, liquid crystal alignment films, and polarizers in key directions such as devices, materials, devices and industrial software. Performance testing and evaluation methods for upstream films, etc., unify upstream and downstream testing standards, laying a solid foundation for the healthy development of the industry.
AI innovation, artificial intelligence + promotes the transformation of TCL China Star Manufacturing With the continuous development of technologies in computing power, AI and other fields, TCL China Star actively implements the artificial intelligence + action and builds a five-star AI architecture with 1 lake, 1 model and 3 platforms to deeply integrate artificial intelligence. Integrate into R & D innovation, high-quality manufacturing and other aspects, promote the intelligent development of all elements of the semiconductor display industry, and help traditional industries achieve manufacturing transformation.
In June this year, TCL China Star released version 3.0 of Xingzhi X-Intelligence. As the first strong reasoning vertical domain model in the display field, Xingzhi X-Intelligence is like a senior expert in the display field through in-depth mining and analysis of high-quality industry data. Its multimodal Issue resolution capabilities exceed those with more than 3 years of work experience. The engineer level has achieved dual improvements in efficiency and quality in manufacturing, R & D and operations. In terms of high-quality production and manufacturing, through the collaborative linkage of intelligent operators, the visual inspection link and image recognition algorithm can accurately capture subtle defects, effectively reducing the missed detection rate of 85%. The data processing link optimizes parameters in real time, promoting the yield increase by 0.2%, the repair link is controlled by the intelligent algorithm throughout the process, and the stability exceeds 95%, achieving high-quality and intelligent manufacturing and production.
