On December 26, TCL Technology announced that its subsidiary TCL CSOT had successfully acquired an 80% equity stake—along with creditor rights—in Prima, for a total consideration of RMB 490 million (approximately USD 70 million). This transaction marks TCL CSOT’s formal entry into the LED chip segment. It represents a critical step toward completing a vertically integrated supply chain spanning from LED chips to Mini LED video wall applications. TrendForce reports that Prima ranked as the ninth-largest LED chip vendor globally in 2025. This acquisition underscores the increasing trend of brand owners and panel manufacturers venturing into the upstream LED chip market. Since 2018, companies like Samsung, AUO, Hisense, BOE, Innolux, and HKC have been progressively expanding their involvement in this sector.
