TCL 60 XE NXTPAPER 5G

TCL is officially bringing its NXTPAPER display tech to North American smartphones, and it’s doing it with an ambitious 5G device priced at just $199 CAD. The new TCL 60 XE NXTPAPER 5G, now available through major Canadian carriers, promises a more comfortable, paper-like viewing experience for your eyes, without cutting corners on performance or utility.

At the heart of the phone is TCL’s NXTPAPER 3.0 display technology, a solution engineered to reduce harmful blue light, minimize glare, and closely mimic the appearance of real paper, all while retaining full color and sharpness. New to this device is the NXTPAPER Key, a physical button that instantly switches the display into Max Ink Mode. It transforms the 6.8-inch FHD+ 120Hz screen into an e-reader-like canvas, complete with muted notifications and a grayscale UI aimed at extended reading or focused work sessions.

TCL says the 60 XE’s adaptive screen can intelligently adjust brightness and color temperature to match your environment, whether you’re reading under harsh sunlight or winding down in bed with night mode on. It also ships with an Eye Care Assistant that gently nudges you to take breaks, while Night Light Mode kicks in during low-light conditions to protect your eyes.

Under the hood, the phone packs 8GB of RAM (plus 8GB virtual RAM) and 256GB of storage, ensuring plenty of headroom for multitasking and offline reading. The 5010mAh battery provides up to two days of regular use or up to a week in reading mode, according to TCL. You also get a 50MP AI-powered triple camera system and a 32MP selfie shooter that’s more than capable for everyday shots.

TCL is also leaning into AI-driven productivity, equipping the device with tools like Text Assistant for translation and summarization, Writing Assistant for message drafts and emails, and Voice Memo, which records and transcribes spoken conversations in real-time, a feature aimed squarely at students, professionals, and content creators.

Now available across carriers including Bell, Rogers, Virgin Plus, and more, the TCL 60 XE NXTPAPER 5G brings the brand’s uniquely eye-friendly screen tech to a wider North American audience. U.S. availability is slated for later this year.

TCL CSOT to Announce Gen-8 Inkjet OLED Investment Soon, Achieves 350PPI Milestone

SID Display Week 2025 TCL IJP Monitor

TCL CSOT is preparing to announce its Gen-8 inkjet-printed OLED (IJP OLED) production line investment between August and September this year. Zhou Mingzhong, Head of Technology Planning at TCL CSOT, confirmed the development during an interview after the Seoul Display Business Forum. The company is currently discussing the project with local authorities, which has slightly delayed the official announcement.

TCL CSOT has achieved a pixel density of over 350 pixels per inch (PPI) on its inkjet OLED panels. The company uses an RGB sub-pixel arrangement with equally sized sub-pixels, which eliminates the size imbalance typically seen in FMM OLEDs, especially with the larger blue pixels. Zhou stated that the blue OLED device’s LT95@100nits lifespan will reach 400 hours by 2026, a tenfold improvement over 2020 figures.

The company claims its inkjet OLED panels have an aperture ratio three times higher than conventional fine metal mask (FMM) OLED displays. This improvement is expected to enhance brightness efficiency and extend the overall durability of the panels.

SID Display Week 2025 TCL IJP Monitor

TCL CSOT currently operates a Gen 5.5 inkjet OLED line at its T5 facility in Wuhan. It manufactured 21.6-inch medical OLED panels using this process in late 2024. The new Gen-8 line will support larger substrates, which are better suited for televisions and monitors.

During the forum, Zhou also highlighted potential applications for the technology. TCL CSOT has developed a 6.5-inch smartphone panel with 325PPI, a 14-inch 2.8K laptop display with 243PPI, a 27-inch 4K monitor with 163PPI, and a 65-inch 8K TV panel with 136PPI. The company displayed several of these prototypes at SID 2025.

The Gen-8 investment marks a strategic step for TCL CSOT as it aims to compete with South Korean display makers in the high-end OLED market.

Cerence Files IP Complaint Against Sony and TCL Over Voice Technology in Smart TVs

Cerence Sony TCL lawsuit

Cerence Inc., best known for its conversational AI in cars, is going on the offensive, this time against two global electronics giants. The Massachusetts-based voice tech firm has filed a formal complaint with the U.S.

International Trade Commission (ITC), accusing Sony and TCL of infringing its patented voice technologies in their smart TVs. In tandem, the company has launched lawsuits in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, aiming for damages and broader IP enforcement.

Cerence claims that specific smart TV models from Sony and TCL illegally use its proprietary voice interaction technology. The company is urging the ITC to issue a limited exclusion order, which could halt the import of those devices into the U.S. entirely.

“We will take strong, decisive action to protect our IP rights and prevent the unauthorized use of our technology,” said Jennifer Salinas, Cerence’s Chief Administrative Officer and General Counsel. The company argues that safeguarding its innovations isn’t just about business, it’s a strategic imperative tied to the protection of its customers and long-term investments.

Cerence Sony TCL lawsuit

Cerence, which already powers voice features in over 525 million vehicles globally, is signaling that its tech ambitions extend well beyond the dashboard. By targeting smart TVs, the company is asserting that its voice control patents have wider relevance in the growing smart home and entertainment landscape.

But lawsuits of this magnitude don’t come without risk. Suing two massive hardware players could drain resources and test business relationships, while the legal outcome remains far from guaranteed. Still, the move underlines a broader theme in tech: as AI capabilities become core to consumer electronics, the fight over who owns the underlying technology is only heating up.
