TCL continues its quest to make digital displays as close to the paper experience as possible. After several generations of NxtPaper screens based on LCD panels, the company unveiled the first NxtPaper screen based on AMOLED technology, in a move aimed at combining reading comfort with advanced display quality.
The new technology addresses a number of factors that make digital screens stressful on the eyes. Through it, TCL seeks to provide a comfortable, paper-like reading experience, while at the same time maintaining vibrant colors and high resolution when displaying photos and videos.
The development of Circular Polarizer Light (CPL) technology represents one of the most notable improvements in the new generation. The polarization rate has increased to 90% compared to 57% in the previous generation, which helps reduce reflections and improve image clarity.
TCL CSOT also relied on Nano-Matrix Lithography technology in this screen, which contributes to significantly reducing ambient light reflection and glare, which are two of the most prominent causes of eye fatigue while using screens for long periods.
The screen also supports automatic adjustments in brightness and color temperature throughout the day, to match the body’s daily rhythm and surrounding conditions. In addition, the company has improved the harmful blue light filter by 15% compared to the previous generation, bringing the total blue light level to just 2.9%.
In night reading conditions, the screen can lower the brightness up to 1 nit, and also provides the Adaptive Reading Experience feature that automatically adjusts the background color of texts according to the ambient light, which enhances eye comfort while reading.
Despite the great focus on user comfort, the new screen remains an integrated AMOLED panel in terms of performance. It provides full coverage of the DCI-P3 color space with very high color accuracy (deltaE less than 1), ensuring realistic and accurate color reproduction.
Peak brightness reaches 3200nits for outdoor use, while reduced reflections help maintain screen clarity without the need to reach maximum brightness in most situations. The screen also supports a 120Hz refresh rate to provide a smooth user experience while scrolling and playing high-frame content.
During the technology presentation at the MWC conference, TCL CSOT focused on showcasing the capabilities of the new screen, confirming at the same time that the first devices that will rely on the NxtPaper AMOLED screen will arrive later this year, with the first of them being a smartphone.
