TCL Brings OD Zero Mini LED Backlight Technology to Smart Screen

TCL brought its OD Zero mini LED backlighting technology to a smart screen, it said Thursday. Zero distance between the TV backlight and the screen allows TCL’s X12 Vidrian mini-LED to house 96,000 LED chips within a 9.9 mm frame with brightness up to 2,000 nits and a 10 million:1 contrast ratio, said the company. It's building intelligent applications for cross-screen interconnection, interoperability and distribution. TCL is pitting the nascent technology against OLED displays, touting color gamut, resolution, lack of burn-in and product life span at “one-third” the price. The company also introduced UI 5.0, which integrates user interface design, system interaction and scene functions around smart screen hubs. It’s working with Chinese smartphone maker vivo on a smart screen that automatically lowers screen volume when a call comes in.
