What is Thomson?

Thomson is a brand name that has been used by numerous companies over the years, primarily in the electronics and media industries. Historically, Thomson SA (formerly Thomson-CSF) was a large French electronics company involved in defense, aerospace, and consumer electronics. The Thomson brand has been associated with products such as televisions, DVD players, set-top boxes, and audio equipment. More recently, the Thomson brand is often licensed to other manufacturers who produce and market products under the Thomson name. Thus, 'Thomson' refers more to a brand name now than a single unified technology company.
