Chinese smartphone manufacturer TCL has launched displays based on its NXTPAPER technology for the first time, which are based on AMOLED instead of LCD technology. The panels from TCL’s display division CSOT are said to be particularly easy on the eyes.
NXTPAPER was actually TCL’s attempt to design the LCD panels that its display division CSOT continued to produce in such a way that, thanks to special features, it could continue to attract customers to its mobile devices with attractive unique selling points despite the growing spread of OLED technology in smartphone displays. Now TCL is taking the next step and adapting the technology, through which its displays are intended to protect the viewer’s eyes through more natural color representation, to AMOLED panels as well. According to TCL, the new NXTPAPER panels for smartphones are the first “anti-glare” screens.
According to the manufacturer, this is made possible by adjustments at the hardware level to ensure that 15 percent less blue light is emitted. The circular polarization should reach up to 90 percent. This means that the panels should be comfortable to view even over longer periods of time. Additionally, TCL attempts to minimize reflections by using a technique called “nanomatrix” lithography. Nevertheless, a maximum brightness of up to 3200 candela should be possible.
If the reflections are actually significantly lower, this should eliminate one of the biggest disadvantages of glossy AMOLED panels when used outdoors. TCL intends to use the new AMOLED-based NXTPAPER panels in high-end smartphones, among other things. They therefore offer a variable maximum refresh rate of up to 120 Hertz and the DCI-P3 color space in full. The first prototypes of displays with the new, modified AMOLED technology could be seen at the Mobile World Congress 2026, but TCL also promised in Barcelona that the first smartphones equipped with it will come onto the market before the end of the year.
