The company from Eindhoven is 30% owner of TPV, and will license its name to the Taiwanese for five years, with an option of a five year extension. The new TPV owned TV manufacturer will be called TP Vision, and will headquarter in Amsterdam, Bright reports.

In the last quarter Philips’ television division lost 272 million euro.
