CES 2026 remains ground zero for sharing technological advancements, and TCL China Star Optoelectronics Technology (TCL CSOT) is seizing the moment to showcase its leadership in display innovation. This year, TCL CSOT introduced a transformative vision for the future of displays, grounded in its APEX innovation philosophy: Amazing Display Experience, Protective of Eye Health, Eco-Friendly to Build and Use, and X-Unlimited Imaginative Potential.
A Holistic Approach to Display Innovation
Under the APEX philosophy, TCL CSOT is setting new standards for the industry. “We are at an inflection point where display innovation must deliver smarter, healthier, more responsible experiences,” said Jun Zhao, Senior Vice President of TCL Technology and CEO of TCL CSOT. This commitment to a holistic vision positions TCL CSOT as a leader in creating displays that not only enhance entertainment but also prioritize user health and environmental sustainability, leveraging AI to reinvigorate display manufacturing. This approach is increasingly important as consumers become more conscious of their choices’ impacts on the world, and the impact of technology on their lives.
Amazing Display Experience: Transforming Entertainment
With our HVA Ultra TV earning the top LCD TV rating from Rtings last year, TCL CSOT’s latest offering, the HVA Ultra Infinity View TV Display (98″), builds on that foundation to redefine home cinema. Its advanced RGB backlight control features an astonishing 18,000 backlight zones, and with over 96% BT2020 coverage, it delivers vivid, layered colors that surpass what the naked eye can perceive, establishing it as a benchmark for home entertainment.
By utilizing an open cell algorithm and RGB independent backlight control, TCL CSOT has unleashed the potential of RGB backlight technology, eliminating color crosstalk and achieving smooth transitions and precise colors. The ultra-slim narrow bezel further enhances immersion, providing a larger field of view and broader perspective, ultimately delivering an unparalleled viewing experience.
Equally impressive is the World’s First Sliding and Multi-Curved Inkjet-printed (IJP) OLED Automotive Display (28″). This innovative display features a sliding mechanism that extends from 16″ to 28″, combining futuristic aesthetics with unparalleled functionality. With a true RGB pixel layout and a robust design capable of over 100,000 sliding-roll operations, TCL CSOT is not just creating displays; it is crafting experiences that transform how we perceive technology in vehicles.
TCL CSOT’s IJP OLED technology stands out as the only OLED to achieve a standard RGB pixel arrangement, delivering outstanding performance with an average luminous area ratio of 50 – 60%. This ensures color consistency across all brightness levels, providing drivers and passengers with an immersive visual experience that enhances interaction within premium smart cockpits.
Protective of Eye Health: A Commitment to Comfort
TCL CSOT understands that viewing comfort is paramount. Backed by TCL CSOT’s Eye-Care Technology and SGS certification, the World’s First Natural-Light-Certified OLED Mobile Display (6.89″) utilizes circular polarizer technology to suppress glare and enhance contrast, providing a book-like reading experience even in bright sunlight.
TCL CSOT has independently developed its second-generation circular polarizer technology, achieving an ellipticity of over 95% at the 550nm wavelength. This innovation allows the screen to remain clearly visible even under strong outdoor lighting or while wearing sunglasses, reducing eye strain and providing a healthier and more comfortable viewing experience, whether working or binge-watching movies and TV shows.
Moreover, the World’s First Natural Light Switchable Monitor Display (27″) replicates natural light through a full-spectrum backlight unit, reducing eye fatigue and making it an ideal choice for long work sessions. This monitor is certified by SGS for its high similarity to natural light, ensuring users experience consistent light exposure that is easier on the eyes, promoting productivity without the discomfort that often accompanies prolonged screen time.
Eco-Friendly to Build and Use: Leading Sustainable Practices
In an era where sustainability is crucial, TCL CSOT is leading the charge with its eco-friendly initiatives. The World’s First PFAS-Free Notebook Display (14″) eliminates harmful “forever chemicals” from all components, showcasing TCL CSOT’s dedication to safer materials and smarter power management.
Synthetic compounds known as PFAS pose long-term risks to health and the environment, impacting the immune system and disrupting endocrine functions. By innovating materials to eliminate PFAS, TCL CSOT is setting a new standard for eco-friendly electronics, ensuring that all in-panel materials and electronic components are safe and sustainable. This is not just a technological breakthrough; it reflects a firm commitment to health and environmental responsibility, addressing the growing concerns associated with synthetic compounds.
The World’s First Partitioned Frequency Division OLED Tablet Display (13.2″) exemplifies intelligent efficiency, with an advanced LTPO backplane that adapts refresh rates from 1Hz to 120Hz. This dynamic adjustment helps reduce logic power consumption by 15% to 25%, offering both high performance and energy efficiency. With uniform 1.7 mm bezels on all four sides, this display achieves an impressive 96% screen-to-body ratio, demonstrating that high-quality displays can coexist with environmental responsibility.
X-Unlimited Imaginative Potential: Driving Future Innovations
TCL CSOT is not just focused on the present; it is actively shaping the future of display technology. The World’s Highest PPI Real RGB G-OLED Display (2.56″) boasts an impressive 1512 PPI true RGB resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate, setting a new benchmark for XR devices. This innovation is crucial for developers looking to create immersive experiences in virtual and augmented reality.
TCL CSOT has achieved ultra-high pixel density through advanced pixel architecture, enabling exceptionally refined image quality. The display supports a 110% wide color gamut and combines OLED’s inherent advantages of microsecond-level response time with a 1,000,000:1 high contrast ratio. This product sets a new performance benchmark for OLED XR devices, unlocking vast market potential in high-end consumer electronics and industrial applications.
Additionally, the World’s Highest-Res Single-Chip Full-Color Si-Micro LED Display (0.28″) offers retina-grade visuals, enabling the development of lightweight AR glasses and ultra-slim VR devices. Built on a silicon substrate, this ultra-compact display achieves an extremely high resolution of 1280×720 and an exceptional pixel density of 5131 PPI. Its self-emissive nature delivers high brightness and contrast, making it a game-changer for near-eye applications and setting a high-standard benchmark for next-generation lightweight, high-performance display solutions.
AI + Display: A Differentiated Innovation System
At the heart of TCL CSOT’s strategy is the integration of AI in display technology. With X‑Intelligence 3.0, the industry’s first large AI model specifically for display technology, TCL CSOT has enhanced product issue analysis by 20% and materials development by 30%. Displays are becoming the visual interface of AI devices, with TCL CSOT driving low‑power design across smartphones, tablets, and PCs through LTPO backplane optimizations and adaptive features.
Jun Zhao, Senior Vice President of TCL Technology and CEO of TCL CSOT added, “Embracing AI to reinvigorate display manufacturing, we use AI for Display to empower eye health and sustainability, and Display for AI to create the future of display for the AI era.”
