Chinese consumer electronics company TCL has unveiled several interesting displays. In particular, it was interesting to announce that several roller screens will be marketed this year.
Vertical roll-up screen
LG’s roll-up screen is a horizontally expanding product. It is a form of tablet that comes out of a smartphone. However, the products introduced by TCL are expanding vertically. It changes from a short rectangular shape like the Galaxy Z Flip folding phone to a long rectangular shape. The short screen is 6.7 inches and the size of the unfolded screen is 7.8 inches, and the shape when fully open is similar to that of a smartphone. When I think about it, I think, ‘Why?’, But when I think about it, the Z Fold can only use a small screen the size of a thumb when folded, while its strength is that it can also be used when folded. Like the Galaxy Z Fold, the interface changes depending on the situation (responsive user interface).
Fish name display
It is a product that provides a huge 17-inch screen. Therefore, the roll part is very large. If you open this scroll, for some reason, you might say, “Lee-cheong, who beheld contempt, accept the promise.” Although it is not indicated correctly where the screen will be used, a mountaineer appeared in the demo video. It seems that somehow I have accurately captured the age range of the person who will be using this screen.
TCL revealed in Keynote that it is an OLED that uses inkjet printing technology. It refers to a method of applying organic materials, which are essential for OLED. Usually organic matter in powder form is pulverized in the air for vacuum deposition, but recently, liquid organic matter is printed and pasted like an inkjet printer. This avoids material waste and reduces costs.
The 17-inch printed LED scrolling screen was expressed as good enough to satisfy 100% of a specific color gamut, but did not announce which color gamut it satisfies. In this case, it is probably sRGB. This is because DCI-P3 and Adobe RGB are difficult to satisfy 100%.
If you have to hold it with both hands as a hanging parchment, it becomes ambiguous to use it as a monitor, but it seems that it will be possible to use it for companies only by introducing accessories that complement this part. For personal use, it will only be possible to use it if it is Younguijeong.
Both roll-up displays announced that they will be released within this year. Together with LG, this year marks the first year of portable roll-up displays.
Mini LED TV
In addition to LG and Samsung, TCL also revealed that it will launch a mini LED TV. The mini LED bulb uses a 151 µm size, close to the size of a microLED bulb (100 µm). Like LG or Samsung, it uses a local dimming block. The distance between the display panel (LCD) and the light source (mini LED) is 0mm and is called OD Zero Mini-LED. OD means optical distance. In addition, 4K mini LED TVs, QLED TVs and LCD TVs will be launched. At the end of the announcement, it was said that one more big screen will be announced this year, but since most of the screen technology has been revealed, it is expected to be an 8K TV or a micro LED TV.
Google tv
Google TV, not Android, will be released in consultation with Google. The screen shown in the keynote is similar to the home screen of the current Android TV, but it is expected to be a hub-type product that can monitor Google’s IoT products.
Also folding products?
The folding product teaser passed. It has the same shape as the Galaxy Z Fold. Like LG, it has also passed a roll-up screen trailer that extends the phone to a tablet.
Other smart devices
Relatively inexpensive TCL series launched in North America. Introducing the TCL 20 5G and SE, TAB 10s that can use a stylus and smart keyboard, MOVEAUDIO S600, a Bluetooth headset that provides active noise cancellation, and TCL Movetrack that tracks by hanging from an animal collar.
The most interesting product is a small virtual reality glass. It is a product equipped with a micro OLED screen that provides a 1080p FHD screen. As it is a virtual reality product, not augmented reality form, it is expected that it will be less affected by software and can focus on the video experience. The screen is said to be deployable up to 140 inches. AR products are useless and fun when software is lacking. No announcement was made on how to deal with light leaking from the side of the eye.
Momentum is strength
TCL manufactures displays at its subsidiary CSOT. The characteristic of Chinese companies is to create and view unusual exhibits without considering selling them. That is why we present the most interesting product to look at. However, it will take a long time before you can actually find these products.
