TCL is one of the leading display manufacturers, and MWC is a breeding ground for innovation, so it’s only fitting to show off its latest developments. TCL’s Super Pixel display technology and inkjet-printed OLED displays were both announced at CES earlier this year, and will make their way into a wide range of devices as TCL showcases a diverse portfolio of next-generation displays.
Thanks to an additional 1.8% more sub-pixels inside the OLED layer, TCL’s Super Pixel displays achieve higher sharpness and a clearer image than Sub-Pixel Rendering (SPR) OLEDs. But more importantly, TCL’s new display technology also reduces the processing load on the controller, reducing energy consumption by 25%. Other benefits are higher refresh rates, with TCL achieving up to 165Hz for a butter-smooth user experience.
TCL Super Pixel High-Clarity Mobile Display (6.9″)
We start with a trio of 6.9-inch Super Pixel smartphone displays. The first brings exceptional image clarity with 1,200×2,608px resolution and 420 ppi density. The panel features an 8T LTPO backplane with Full In Active Area (FIAA) technology and adaptive brightness of up to 2,000 nits. TCL achieved impressively thin 0.5mm top and bottom bezels and 0.8mm on the sides.
TCL Low Power Consumption Super Pixel Mobile Display (6.9″)
TCL also demonstrated another 6.9-inch Super Pixel panel, which it called “a benchmark in energy efficiency.” This panel is once again an 8T LTPO OLED with 420 ppi density, and it offers 10% lower IC power consumption while reducing chipset consumption by 25% compared to traditional OLED.
TCL Super Pixel High Refresh Rate Mobile Display (6.9″)
The third Super Pixel panel is built on 7T LTPS architecture and brings a dynamically adjusted 60-165Hz refresh rate. It also has 420 ppi density and manages up to 2,000 nits high brightness mode (HBM).
In addition to its Super Pixel lineup, TCL also showcased several inkjet-printed (IJP) OLED display panels. These “printed panels” offer easily scalable panel sizes, a simpler production process with lower costs, and better performance than traditional OLED manufacturing.
TCL Ultra-Thin Rigid IJP OLED Notebook Display (14”)
TCL unveiled a 14-inch IJP OLED laptop screen that’s just 0.77mm thick and weighs 77 grams.
TCL Folding and Portable IJP OLED Monitor Display (28”)
We also got to see a portable folding IJP OLED monitor that can go from 16 to 28 inches thanks to its tri-fold design. It is remarkably thin at 4.48 mm and has the world’s largest waterdrop hinge.
TCL also has a smaller 5.65-inch IJP OLED display that can be used in smartphones. It has an impressive 490 ppi density and features a Real Stripe RGB pixel arrangement for pleasing visuals and sharpness.
TCL World’s Brightest OLED Mobile Display (6.9″)
But TCL still doesn’t have all that. How about a ridiculously bright 6.9-inch OLED panel rated at a staggering 15,000 (!) nits peak brightness. This is probably peak local brightness in HDR scenarios, but it’s still an impressive feat.
TCL Natural-Light-Certified OLED Mobile Display (6.9”):
TCL also showcased an eye-friendly 6.9-inch OLED with second-generation circular polarizer technology for low glare and a “book-like” reading experience.
TCL World’s Smallest C-Micro LED Display (0.05”)
We also got a glimpse of the world’s smallest silicon-based micro LED built for AR glasses. It has a 256×86px resolution and a razor-sharp 5,080 ppi density and 4 million nits peak brightness.
