Het lijkt toch inderdaad wel een eigen doorontwikkeling. Volgens de Engelstalige wiki zijn er diverse technology transfers geweest, om te beginnen in 1979 van Matsushita maar daarna nog meer dus hebben ze in de tussenliggende jaren zelf wat aanelkaargeknutseld afhankelijk van de beschikbaarheid van onderdelen. Geen zuivere kloon dus maar echt een eigen ontwikkeling gebaseerd op voorgaande modellen, appnotes, e.d.. Dit soort modellen vind ik altijd fascinerend omdat je er de groei van de industrie aan kunt aflezen.

Als je echt een bijzonder collectors item zoekt... Chinese televisies van vóór 1979. Mogelijk gebaseerd op Russische technologie (zie ook de al genoemde positiennummers op de print) maar niet zomaar goedkope consumentenproducten en dus ook in China zeldzaam.

Qingdao No.2 Radio Factory, the predecessor of Hisense Group, was established in September 1969;[12] this is the year its existence was first officially recognized.[Bell 2] The small factory's first product was a radio sold under the brand name Red Lantern, but the company later gained the know-how to make TVs through a trial-production of black and white televisions ordered by the Shandong National Defense Office.[13] This involved the technical training of three employees at another Chinese factory, Tianjin 712, and resulted in the production of 82 televisions by 1971[13] and the development of transistor TVs by 1975.[Bell 2] Their first TV model, CJD18, was produced in 1978.[14]

Television production in China was limited until 1979, when a meeting of the Ministry of Electronics in Beijing concluded with calls for greater development of the civil-use electronics industry.[13] Qingdao No.2 Radio Factory was then quickly merged with other local electronics makers and manufactured televisions under the name Qingdao General Television Factory[Bell 2] in Shandong province.[Bell 2]

Color televisions were manufactured through the purchase of a production line from Matsushita,[Bell 2] the first of many such technology transfers from foreign firms Hisense has made in order to remain competitive. The companies it has bought from include Hitachi, Lucent, Matsushita, NEC, Sanyo, Toshiba, and Qualcomm.[Bell 3]

The Hisense Group emerged in 1994[13] from a tumult started in 1992 by then-president Zhou Houjian[15] or perhaps even by Li Dezhen, director of the Electronic Instrument Bureau of Qingdao.[Bell 2] The Hisense Electrical Appliance Share Holding Company (now, Hisense Electrical Co Ltd) was publicly listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange in April 1997.[Bell 2] Increased competition and price wars in the Chinese electronics market in the 1990s were a boon to Hisense,[13] which gained ten failing enterprises by 1998.[Bell 2]

ik vind maar 1 type terug en dat is UPD1987C
