TCL CSOT expands the limits of IJP OLED, MLED, and additional technologies at Display Week 2025.

      TCL CSOT made an appearance at SID Display Week 2025, showcasing significant advancements in its IJP OLED, MLED, and APEX technologies. As the B2B division of TCL, they have been developing numerous new innovations in display technology. Let’s explore each of these technologies, the innovations TCL CSOT presented at Display Week, and what they might suggest for the future of display technology.

      What is IJP OLED?

      Inkjet Printing OLED (IJP OLED) technology offers a method for producing OLED TVs. This process utilizes a printer to apply organic materials onto OLED panels, in contrast to the conventional technique that relies on vacuum chambers and evaporation. The traditional approach is both time-consuming and wasteful, while IJP OLEDs are quicker and generate less waste, potentially leading to more affordable OLED TVs over time. TCL CSOT is the foremost manufacturer of OLED panels employing this technology, and their announcements at SID Display Week 2025 highlighted significant applications of this method. In 2024, TCL CSOT mass-produced a 21.6-inch 4K OLED display using IJP technology. At Display Week, they unveiled four new displays: a 6.5-inch smartphone display, a 14-inch tablet display, a 14-inch laptop display, a 27-inch monitor display, and a 65-inch TV display, demonstrating a remarkable enhancement in IJP OLED capabilities. TCL CSOT intends to continue expanding this process until full-sized TVs can be manufactured using IJP.

      What is MLED?

      Micro LED (MLED) is a display technology that allows precise control over individual pixels. MLEDs generate their own light, enabling pixel-level control, faster response times, an improved color gamut, and true blacks (since each pixel can be turned off entirely). TCL CSOT introduced groundbreaking MLED advancements at Display Week 2025, including the world's smallest silicon-based MLED display at just 0.05 inches, featuring a resolution of 256×86 and a high pixel density ideal for applications like smart glasses. On the larger end, TCL CSOT presented a 219-inch MLED display, which typically face challenges in maintaining sharp images and deep colors. However, this new MLED display boasts a resolution of 5760×1440, a 120Hz refresh rate, and over 98% DCI-P3 color gamut. Additionally, TCL CSOT revealed other impressive MLED innovations, such as an ultra-bright display for automotive use and a transparent MLED display with potential applications in augmented reality or museum exhibits, thus pushing the limits of MLED technology from minuscule to massive, as well as bright to transparent.

      What is APEX?

      For those who find futuristic technologies like IJP OLED and MLED overwhelming, TCL CSOT also presented innovations that have practical applications and are straightforward to comprehend. The APEX initiative by TCL CSOT aims to enhance consumer displays (“A” for “Amazing”), boost comfort and safety (“P” for “Protective”), ensure a more sustainable technology and manufacturing process (“E” for “Eco-friendly”), and generally expand the horizons of display technology (“X” for “Unlimited”). At Display Week 2025, TCL CSOT showcased several of these new initiatives, including an LCD TV with the highest image quality globally, a mobile OLED display achieving 95% ultra-wide color gamut coverage, an LCD display that captures the entire visible spectrum of natural sunlight (healthier for your eyes), and displays with significant reductions in power consumption. These developments illustrate how TCL CSOT is broadening the scope of display technology, and it's only a matter of time before these advancements make their way into our household TVs, smartphones, wearable technology, and more.
