TCL CSOT showcased a wide range of next-generation display technologies at CES 2026 under the theme “A Limitless Future of Displays.” The company highlighted innovations built around its APEX philosophy, Amazing Display Experience, Protective Eye Health, Eco-friendly Design, and Unlimited Imaginative Potential. The showcase focused on better image quality, immersive viewing, eye-safe technology, sustainable materials, power efficiency, and AI-driven innovation for the next era of smart devices.

Leadership Vision and AI Strategy

Jun Zhao, Senior Vice President of TCL Technology and CEO of TCL CSOT, emphasized the company’s goal of building smarter, healthier, and greener display solutions. He also highlighted TCL’s strategy of “AI for Display and Display for AI,” where displays play a central role in AI-powered devices. TCL CSOT also introduced X Intelligence 3.0, an industry-specific, large AI model for displays that improves product analysis and materials development efficiency.

Amazing Display Experience

TCL CSOT introduced the 98-inch HVA Ultra Infinity View TV Display, featuring independent RGB backlight control, over 18,000 dimming zones, and more than 96% BT.2020 color coverage. The panel offers deeper contrast, low reflection, anti-glare performance, and an ultra-slim bezel for a cinematic viewing experience.

Another major highlight was the world’s first Sliding and Multi-Curved IJP OLED Automotive Display. The 28-inch screen expands from 16 inches, uses a real RGB pixel layout, supports 100,000+ sliding cycles, and features a futuristic curved design for premium smart cockpits.

Protective Eye Health

TCL CSOT also focused heavily on eye comfort. The company introduced the world’s first Natural-Light-Certified OLED Mobile Display (6.89″), which uses second-generation circular polarizer technology for better sunlight visibility and reduced glare.

The Natural-Light Switchable Monitor (27″) features a full-spectrum backlight and circular polarization to create a light experience closer to natural daylight, helping reduce visual fatigue during long work sessions.

Eco-Friendly Innovation 

In sustainability, TCL CSOT unveiled the world’s first PFAS-Free Notebook Display (14″), eliminating harmful “forever chemicals” and replacing them with safer alternatives across panel materials and components.

The Partitioned Frequency Division OLED Tablet Display (13.2″) features LTPO technology and per-zone adaptive refresh ranging from 1Hz to 120Hz, delivering 15% to 25% power savings while maintaining smooth performance.

XR and Micro-Display Breakthroughs

For next-generation XR devices, TCL CSOT introduced the world’s highest-PPI Real RGB G-OLED Display (2.56″) with 1512 PPI, ultra-fast response time, high contrast, and wide color support.

The company also showcased a single-chip full-color Si-Micro LED display (0.28″) with 1280×720 resolution and 5131 PPI, offering bright and power-efficient visuals for lightweight AR glasses and slim VR devices.

Additionally, TCL CSOT revealed the Real Stripe RGB IJP OLED Mobile Display (5.65″), demonstrating high-precision inkjet-printed OLED manufacturing with improved text clarity and pixel density.

Building the Future Display Ecosystem

With its CES 2026 showcase, TCL CSOT positioned itself as a leader in human-centric design, sustainability, AI-integrated development, and advanced display engineering. Through partnerships and ecosystem development, the company aims to support a smarter, healthier, and more immersive display future across TVs, automotive systems, mobile devices, XR platforms, and productivity screens.

Samsung Display is developing its own low powered display technology that will be featured on future smart devices. The new tech is dubbed as HOP, which is short for hybrid oxide and polycrystalline silicon.

Samsung is working on its own proprietary low-temperature polycrystalline oxide (LTPO) thin-film transistor (TFT) display technology. In layman’s terms, it’s a hybrid technology developed by the South Korean tech giant. HOP combines positive aspects from low-temperature polycrystalline silicon (LTPS) TFT and oxide TFT. For those unaware, LTPS TFT is generally found on smartphone panels, while oxide TFT is found in display panels for notebooks and tablets.

With the new LTPO TFT panel, OEMs can save up to 15 percent to 20 percent on power consumption on smartphone’ OLED displays. This is a notable improvement that can raise a handset’s battery life. Furthermore, the new LTPO display technology is expected to be featured on the upcoming Galaxy Note 20 series, which will be launching later this year.

So far, this form of display technology was restricted to smartwatches, namely Apple Watch Series 4 and even the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2. While the technology has existed in the past, the core parts of the technology were reportedly owned by Apple. Thus, OEMs would have to either pay royalties to Apple or develop a workaround technology, which is likely why Samsung Display made its own iteration of the technology that was first seen in 2015.
