Toshiba will keep a 5 percent stake.<\/p>\n<p>Toshiba is struggling hard after its US nuclear department filed for bankruptcy in March. It has sold other parts of its business to stay afloat, including its dishwasher and washing machine appliance branch to China\u2019s Midea Group. The Visual Solutions subsidiary, in particular, had reported a net operating loss of $54.1 million in the last fiscal year.<\/p>\n<p>The company that will buy Toshiba Visual Solutions has a bit of a rumored checkered past as well. Hisense happens to be the same company that Japan\u2019s Sharp Corp. sued this past June in San Francisco courts. In the suit, Sharp alleged Hisense sold subpar Sharp TVs that devalued the brand, falsely advertised the screen size and brightness of Sharp branded TVs, and produced TVs that emitted harmful excess radiation. Sharp ultimately dropped the lawsuit.<\/p>\n<p>Hisense\u2019s relationship with Sharp may have fallen apart, but this new acquisition of Toshiba could bode well for the Chinese company and result in a lot more 4K laser TVs. The deal is expected to be completed by February at the earliest, so don\u2019t expect to see any new products at this upcoming CES \u2014 where new TVs are typically announced \u2014 just yet.<\/p>\n<p>Source:Theverge.com<\/p>\n<div class=\"bsac bsac-clearfix bsac-post-bottom bsac-float-center bsac-align-center bsac-column-1\">\n<div id=\"bsac-268363-837516816\" class=\"bsac-container bsac-type-image \" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/WPAdBlock\" data-adid=\"268363\" data-type=\"image\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"bsac-image\" src=\"https:\/\/ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Telesol-ad.jpg\" alt=\"Homepage Header Ad\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script>(function(d, s, id) {\n  var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];\n  if (d.getElementById(id)) return;\n  js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;\n  js.src = \"http:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.10&appId=1136575713042949\";\n  fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);\n}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));<\/script><script>\n\t\t\t(function () {<\/p>\n<p>    function appendFbScript() {\n        var js, id = 'facebook-jssdk',\n            fjs = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];<\/p>\n<p>        if (document.getElementById(id)) return;\n        js = document.createElement('script');\n        js.id = id;\n        js.src = \"http:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js#xfbml=1&appId=298184353996497&version=v2.0\";\n        fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);<\/p>\n<p>        window.fbAsyncInit = function () {\n            FB.init({\n                appId: '298184353996497',\n                xfbml: true,\n                version: 'v2.0'\n            });\n            FB.Event.subscribe('comment.create', function (comment_data) {\n                console.log(comment_data);\n                update_comments_count();\n            });\n            FB.Event.subscribe('comment.remove', function (comment_data) {\n                update_comments_count();\n            });<\/p>\n<p>            function update_comments_count(comment_data, comment_action) {\n                jQuery.ajax({\n                        type: 'GET',\n                        dataType: 'json',\n                        url: 'http:\/\/starrfmonline.com\/wp-admin\/admin-ajax.php',\n                        data: {\n                            action: 'clear_better_facebook_comments',\n                            post_id: '274624'\n                        },\n                        success: function (data) {\n                            \/\/ todo sync comments count here! data have the counts\n                        },\n                        error: function (i, b) {\n                            \/\/ todo\n                        }\n                    }\n                )\n            };\n        };<\/p>\n<p>        appendFbScript();\n    }<\/p>\n<p>    appendFbScript();<\/p>\n<p>})();\n\t\t<\/script><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Toshiba signed a deal today selling its television subsidiary to China\u2019s Hisense, according to the Nikkei Asian Review.
