TCL Begins Mass Production of Affordable Inkjet-Printed OLED Displays, Unveils Medical and Prototype Panels
  • TCL's innovative RGB OLED technology significantly reduces light loss and enhances light output efficiency, contributing to a longer lifespan for their displays.

  • The inkjet printing process employed by TCL is reported to be 30% faster than traditional OLED manufacturing methods, which boosts production efficiency.

  • This manufacturing process utilizes Gen 5.5 glass substrates measuring 1,300 × 1,500 mm, incorporating technology acquired from the now-defunct Japanese company JOLED.

  • Looking ahead, TCL plans to broaden its OLED panel lineup in 2025 and is exploring the development of a larger 8.5-Gen inkjet production line.

  • Although TCL's panels may not match the brightness levels of competitors like LG Display and Samsung Display, their large inkjet printing approach results in reduced waste and a 20% decrease in overall production costs.

  • In addition to the medical display, TCL has unveiled a 27-inch prototype panel that offers 4K resolution, side-by-side RGB OLED pixels, and a refresh rate of 120Hz, with peak brightness reaching 600 nits.

  • TCL has officially launched mass production of inkjet-printed OLED displays, a pivotal move that underscores their dedication to developing more affordable and energy-efficient monitors.

  • The first product from this production line is a 21.6-inch 4K OLED panel designed for medical professionals, boasting a remarkable contrast ratio exceeding 1,000,000:1 and a maximum brightness of 350 nits.

  • This medical monitor features a pixel density of 204 PPI and achieves 99% coverage of the DCI-P3 color space, making it ideal for high-quality medical applications.

  • TCL also introduced a 2.8K 14-inch QD-EL display prototype that utilizes Quantum Dot Electroluminescent technology, which eliminates the need for backlighting and enhances visual quality and viewing angles.

  • The QD-EL technology supports variable refresh rates ranging from 30Hz to 120Hz and is recognized for its color purity, covering the BT2020 color gamut.
