TCL Plans Massive, Billion Dollar LCD Panel Factory

TCL, a Chinese television manufacturer which has its U.S. headquarters in Corona, says it is planning to build a massive, LCD panel fabrication plant in Shenzhen, China. TCL said that the new plant will be built by its subsidiary, China Star Optoeletronics Technology Co., Ltd., and will cost and estimated $7.8 billion. The new plant will produce high resolutions, flat panel displays for use in 65-inch and larger LCD TVs.
