Tcl Nxtpaper To Offer World S First Zero Eye Strain Display

By ‘unparalleled’ we don’t mean in terms of refresh rate or resolution, but instead with regards to legibility – TCL claims that the NXTPAPER is the world’s first “zero eye-strain” display.

This Full HD full-colour panel has a paper-like quality and leverages high internal reflectivity to achieve a flicker-free viewing experience that’s visible even in bright conditions. The company has gone as far as to employ eleven patents on the eye-protection tech at play too, as it boasts no “harmful blue light” compared to traditional a LCD, thanks in part to the complete lack of a backlight.

The result is a viewing experience with 25% greater contrast than an equivalent e-Ink screen would be able to offer and the technology can be made up to 36% thinner than an equivalent LCD panel would have to be. This trait also makes it 65% more power-efficient compared to LCD tech, which is ideal considering the use cases TCL has in mind for NXTPAPER.

The company says we can expect to see a market-ready device using NXTPAPER “early next year,” alongside a foldable phone or tablet – something the company has teased for a long time.
