TCL has unveiled a new generation of its NxtPaper displays, marking the first time the technology has been built on an AMOLED base. Previously, NxtPaper panels used LCD matrices and focused on reducing eye strain. Now, the manufacturer claims to combine the "paper-like" comfort for reading with OLED advantages, including high contrast and vibrant colors.
One key enhancement is the refined Circular Polarizer Light technology. Polarization levels have been increased to 90%, up from 57% in the previous version, which helps significantly cut down on reflections and glare. To reduce external light interference, nano-matrix lithography is applied, further easing visual fatigue during prolonged use.
The display automatically adjusts brightness and color temperature based on the time of day and ambient lighting, adapting to the user's circadian rhythms. Blue light filtering has been improved by 15%, with overall blue light levels reduced to 2.9%. Minimum brightness can drop to 1 nit, making the screen comfortable for reading in the dark. An adaptive reading mode is also included, altering background shades depending on lighting conditions.
Despite these features, the panel retains flagship AMOLED display specs: 100% DCI-P3 coverage, color accuracy with a deltaE of less than 1, peak brightness up to 3,200 nits, and a 120Hz refresh rate. The first devices featuring the AMOLED version of NxtPaper are expected later this year, with the technology set to debut in a new TCL smartphone.
