MUMBAI: Royal Philips Electronics has reached an agreement with TPV Technology on key terms and conditions of a brand licensing agreement under which Philips will transfer its PC monitors business, IT Displays, to TPV.

This is in line with Philips’ previously communicated commitment to take decisive steps to improve the profitability levels at its television business, of which the IT Displays unit forms part.

 

Under the terms of this agreement, TPV, which produces PC monitors, will assume responsibility for sourcing, distribution, marketing and sales of all Philips’ IT Displays activities worldwide. As part of the intended brand licensing agreement, TPV can exclusively use the Philips brand name for PC monitors worldwide, in exchange for which Philips will receive revenue-based royalty payments.

The intended agreement with TPV represents a further step by Philips to fundamentally reposition itself in the digital display business and accelerates Philips’ efforts to address the unsatisfactory performance of its television business.

 
In April, Philips had announced that it would transfer its consumer television operations in the US, while at the same time it said it would take steps to further optimize its global supply base in TV.
