TCL's Nextpaper AMOLED screen is so good I want it on every new phone. But here's where it gets controversial: While OLED is already the gold standard for smartphone displays, the Nextpaper AMOLED takes it to the next level. It's not just about brightness and color accuracy; it's about a reading experience that's kind to your eyes. Here's why.
A Display That's Easy on the Eyes
The Nextpaper AMOLED combines TCL's paper-like display tech with the vibrant colors and brightness of AMOLED. The result? A screen that's not only bright and colorful but also reduces strain on your eyes when reading. This is a big deal, especially for those who spend hours reading on their phones.
Circular Polarization: The Secret Sauce
One of the key features of the Nextpaper AMOLED is its use of circular polarization. This technology reduces glare by rotating light as it passes through the display layers, preventing it from shining back and causing discomfort. It's like having a screen that mimics natural light, making it easier on the eyes.
Blue Light Reduction
TCL has also tackled the issue of blue light emission, which can disrupt sleep and damage eyes. The Nextpaper AMOLED reduces over 97% of blue light, a significant improvement over regular displays. This is a welcome feature for anyone concerned about the impact of their phone screen on their health.
Reading Mode with Adjustable Warmth
The Nextpaper AMOLED can switch to full greyscale mode, which is great for reading. But TCL takes it a step further by offering adjustable warmth and brightness depending on the time of day and lighting conditions. This means you can read comfortably in various environments, even in dimly lit spaces.
Color Accuracy and Smooth Refresh Rate
Despite the adjustments, TCL ensures the display remains color accurate with full P3 color gamut coverage. It also boasts a smooth 120Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 3,200 nits, making it easy to read even under bright lighting conditions.
A Concept Worth Seeing
While the Nxtpaper 70 Pro is available now, the Nextpaper AMOLED is still a concept. However, it's a concept that shows tremendous potential. I hope we see it in actual products soon, or at least at the next MWC. It's a display technology that deserves to be on every new phone.
