Known as the "next generation display technology", Mini LED backlight technology is an upgraded version of the traditional LED backlight technology. Compared to OLED, Mini LED is more stable with a longer life cycle and lower cost. TCL Electronics has been committed to the research and development of Mini LED technology and has become the industry leader by launching the world's first Mini LED smart screen in 2019. Over years, TCL Mini LED smart screens have been well received by consumers. According to CMM's omni-channel data, the market share of TCL Mini LED smart screens in terms of retail sales volume in the first three quarters of 2022 exceeded 52% in the domestic Mini LED TV market, remaining its No.1 ranking with an absolute advantage. During the "Double Eleven" Shopping Festival^{^[1]}, TCL Mini LED smart screens became the top performer in both sales volume and sales revenue across all channels of e-commerce in the PRC market.

In the first three quarters of this year, demand in the global consumer market was under pressure due to factors such as the pandemic. According to the latest statistics from Omdia, sales volume of global TVs in the first three quarters of this year amounted to 143 million sets, down by 4.4% year-on-year; its sales revenue was US$72.39 billion, down by 12.7% year-on-year. However, the market share of TCL smart screens in terms of sales volume in the first three quarters of 2022 still bucked the trend and increased by 0.6 percentage points to 11.7%, firmly ranking No.3 globally. The increase of its market share in the third quarter was particularly obvious, rising by 0.9 percentage points to 12.6% year-on-year, ranking No. 2 in the world.

In the future, TCL Electronics will maintain high investment in research and development, attach importance to product innovation, continue to optimize the product structure, and vigorously develop high-end display technologies such as Mini LED, quantum dot and 8K to bring consumers a more enjoyable audiovisual experience.
