Lenovo's latest gaming laptop is the first to offer a 240Hz OLED display printed with inkjet technology.
TCL's inkjet-printed OLED technology has finally made its way into a commercial laptop via Lenovo.
TCL has claimed for years that inkjet-printed OLED could enhance image quality, efficiency, lifespan, and manufacturing expenses. In 2024, the company showcased prototype laptop panels, promising a "comprehensive breakthrough" once the technology became available for commercial use.
Now, two years later, it is featured in a gaming laptop. Lenovo’s new Legion R9000P boasts a 16-inch display that TCL CSOT describes as the world's first inkjet-printed OLED screen embedded in a laptop.
What distinguishes inkjet-printed OLED?
Traditional OLED manufacturing involves depositing light-emitting materials within costly vacuum equipment using highly accurate metal masks. Inkjet printing, however, applies the organic material directly onto the panel in controlled patterns, similar to how a printer places ink on paper.
TCL claims this process is more straightforward, produces less waste, and could result in more affordable OLED panel manufacturing on a large scale. Previous estimates from the company suggested a 20% cut in overall costs, enhanced light efficiency, and a longer lifespan for materials.
The Legion's display features a 240Hz refresh rate and covers over 99% of the DCI-P3 color gamut. Its typical RGB stripe layout is expected to yield sharper text and minimize colored edges that can sometimes appear around letters on OLED screens that use triangular subpixel configurations.
What specifications could Lenovo incorporate?
Lenovo has yet to disclose details about the laptop’s processor, graphics card, pricing, or release date. Past R9000P models indicate it will target the upper mid-range to premium gaming markets. The 2024 model combined a Ryzen 9 7945HX with an RTX 4060, while the 2025 Ultimate Edition paired a Ryzen 9 9955HX3D with an RTX 5080.
If Lenovo opts for a flagship debut for the new screen, it could feature an RTX 5080 alongside a contemporary AMD or Intel processor. R9000P models are often available globally under the Legion Pro 5 branding, but Lenovo has yet to confirm any international plans.

HP is facing millions in fines for cartel-like behavior concerning ink and PCs.
If you've ever bought printer ink, you're likely aware of its exorbitant costs. However, HP's latest issue extends much further. India’s Competition Commission has imposed a collective fine of 1.42 billion rupees, or approximately $15 million, on HP India and 21 of its resellers for allegedly manipulating bids for government contracts related to personal computers, toner, cartridges, and other printer supplies. These actions are connected to tenders submitted via the Government e-Marketplace between 2017 and 2020. HP is said to have determined who would be allowed to compete.
