Based on multiple generations of NxtPaper eye protection screens, TCL has expanded this technology from LCD to AMOLED panels for the first time, and officially demonstrated the first AMOLED-based NxtPaper display at MWC this year. This solution continues the design concept of "as natural as paper" and aims to improve reading comfort while taking into account the bright colors and true restoration of photos and videos.
The core upgrade of the new generation of NxtPaper AMOLED comes from the improvement of circularly polarized light (CPL) technology. Its polarization rate has been significantly increased from 57% of the previous generation to 90%, which weakens the "digital feel" and glare of the screen from the source. At the same time, TCL Huaxing also uses nano-matrix photolithography technology on the panel to significantly reduce ambient light reflection and glare. Reflected light is one of the important factors that cause eye fatigue after long-term use.
In order to adapt to all-weather usage scenarios, this screen can automatically adjust the display effect according to the ambient brightness and color temperature, consistent with the user's circadian rhythm and surrounding light. According to officials, the new panel has a further improvement of 15% in filtering harmful blue light compared to the previous generation, reducing the proportion of harmful blue light to 2.9%, providing a gentler display effect for long-term reading and content browsing.
In dark light environments, the brightness of this AMOLED NxtPaper screen can be reduced to as low as 1 nit, making it easy to read at night without glare. In addition, it also supports "adaptive reading experience", which will fine-tune the text background color according to the current ambient light, making electronic reading closer to the comfort of paper reading.
Although the focus is on eye protection and reading experience, this NxtPaper panel also has flagship standards in terms of general display parameters. It covers 100% of the DCI-P3 color gamut, and its color accuracy can reach a deltaE level of less than 1, making it suitable for content display that requires high color accuracy. When used outdoors, the screen's peak brightness can reach up to 3,200 nits. At the same time, with lower reflectivity, the panel does not need to be "fully turned on" frequently in most scenarios.
In terms of smoothness, this screen supports a 120Hz refresh rate, allowing for smoother picture presentation whether it is system scrolling or high frame rate applications and games. TCL Huaxing's display at MWC mainly focused on the display technology itself, but it also confirmed that the first batch of terminals equipped with NxtPaper AMOLED screens will be launched later this year. The first form will be a smartphone, and the prototype screen displayed on site has been unveiled in advance.
