The agreement authorizes Princeton Technology to use TCL's LCD-TV digital video frequency technology.

Chen Xiangzhen, a senior engineer from China Flat Display Engineering and Technology Research Center, has told local media that the transfer of TCL's technology to a company outside the mainland shows that China has made a breakthrough in the technology and is confident of passing it around the world.
