While other OEMs are working hard at smoothening software and hardware compatibility or fine-tuning camera array, TCL is quietly working on NXTPAPER display technology, to make sure users don’t have to choose between eye comfort and capability when picking up their next mobile device.
The Chinese corporation has some interesting devices already featuring NXTPAPER display on the market. Whether it’s the TCL NXTPAPER phones or the Note A1 tablet, the idea is simple: A device that has a high-performance display focused on eye-comfort and offers a paper-like reading experience. Now building this tech to the next level, TCL has taken to MWC 2026 to unveil a new NXTPAPER screen based on an AMOLED panel.

First launched in the year 2021, TCL’s NXTPAPER display technology has been ahead of the curve as a solution to screen fatigue, which we are becoming accustomed to. The earlier versions of the tech have appeared chiefly on LCD-based mobile devices. But with the introduction of the new, eye-protective experience built on AMOLED, TCL is setting new standards for the mobile industry.
The comfortable, paper-like, full-color display based on an AMOLED panel, according to TCL, is likely to find its way into the first AMOLED NXTPAPER smartphone soon. If the reports are correct, we are looking at a time frame as early as the end of 2026. The display, still in the works, is designed to deliver rich colors and contrast that’s expected from AMOLED displays. Of course, while still maintaining a paper-like, eye-friendly viewing comfort.
According to the information shared with the press, the new AMOLED-based NXTPAPER display can reach peak brightness levels of up to 3200 nits. It boasts a 120Hz refresh rate and supports 100% coverage of the P3 color gamut, which is comparable to some of the flagship phones on the market. Despite the capabilities of everything AMOLED with a layer of comfort, the upgraded display, TCL says, remains easy on the eyes for long reading, viewing, or playing sessions as compared to other smartphones with a plain AMOLED display.
To achieve this comfort and paper-like visual texture, TCL has layered the AMOLED panel with an anti-glare coating and a light-homogenizing film. This helps the display upgrade at three levels. One, the screen can reach 90% circular polarization rate to reduce eye-glare; it can have lowered blue light emissions of 2.9%; and automatically adjust screen brightness and color according to the surrounding lighting conditions.
TCL has already created a concept phone based on the new NXTPAPER paneled AMOLED display, and it’s turning heads at the MWC. The company is hopeful to launch a phone with the technology by the end of the year, and when it does, I am sure I am going to be in the queue to get my hands on it.
