On the one hand, it can be argued that the quality and brand of domestic TVs are already strong enough, and that there is not much room for Japanese quality to survive, and thus only the final sale of the brand in exchange for a final gain.
On the other hand, there are those who say that the TV business as a whole is low earnings, Toshiba sold the brand, transition to other more valuable business.
In fact, Toshiba also sold its medical business to Canon. As a listed company, for the benefit of shareholders is a must, the sale of these businesses, for Toshiba, are helpless and painful behavior. Kudos to Hisense, another brand that went global.
