Xiaomi and TCL Just Took a Huge Step Toward Killing Samsung’s OLED Dominance
Xiaomi and TCL CSOT have officially launched Phase 2 of their Innovation Display Lab at TCL CSOT’s Wuhan campus. The inauguration ceremony took place on July 12, marking a significant step forward in the long-term collaboration between the two companies.
TCL CSOT confirmed the development through its official WeChat account, stating that the expanded lab will strengthen the joint research and development efforts that began in 2017. The partnership has evolved from initial component supply to a comprehensive strategic alliance, focused on advanced display technologies.
The first phase of the Innovation Display Lab was established in 2021. Since then, Xiaomi and TCL CSOT have co-developed several breakthrough technologies. These include the first Xiaomi smartphone with a TCL CSOT LTPS panel in 2017, the Mi 10 Ultra’s adoption of TCL CSOT OLED panels in 2020, and the global debut of the first under-display camera phone in 2021.
In 2022, the companies jointly defined the 1.5K screen standard and launched China’s first 2K LTPO display. In 2023, they accelerated development of an isometric micro four-curved display two years ahead of schedule and filed over 130 patents related to the technology. In 2024, the collaboration led to the launch of the Mix Fold series, featuring flexible displays developed through their joint efforts.
In 2025, Xiaomi and TCL CSOT are pushing for Real RGB OLED displays, which are expected to feature in next-generation Xiaomi flagships such as the Xiaomi 16 Pro and Redmi K90 Pro.
TCL CSOT stated that the lab now operates as a closed-loop system combining joint R&D with production coordination. This setup enables faster transitions from early-stage innovation to final product manufacturing, improving efficiency and shortening the time-to-market for new technologies. The Phase 2 expansion reflects a deeper commitment to advancing China’s domestic display capabilities and setting new industry benchmarks through shared innovation.
In related news, TCL CSOT is reportedly planning to launch its first OLED monitor panel in 2026. Meanwhile, TCL has introduced its C72K 4K QD-Mini LED TVs in India, featuring a 144Hz refresh rate and Dolby Atmos support.

TCL CSOT Reportedly to Launch Its First OLED Monitor Panel in 2026
TCL CSOT is preparing to launch its first standard OLED monitor panel. According to a new report from VisionTalk, the panel features a 27-inch size, 4K UHD resolution (3840×2160), and a refresh rate of either 120Hz or 144Hz. The display is aimed at office and professional use rather than high-refresh-rate gaming.
The report states that TCL CSOT has finalized its internal mass production roadmap for OLED monitors. The company is expected to begin large-scale production of this panel by the end of the third quarter of 2026. VisionTalk also reports that TCL CSOT has started discussions with several monitor brands to explore commercial partnerships.
The leaked specifications align with a prototype that TCL CSOT showcased during SID 2025. That prototype featured a 27-inch 4K OLED screen built using IJP (Inkjet Printing) technology and supported a 120Hz refresh rate. The new panel appears to follow the same design direction, confirming TCL CSOT’s push to move from development to commercial readiness.
TCL CSOT is focusing this panel on professional environments rather than gaming. While the refresh rate supports smooth visuals, the emphasis is on color accuracy, contrast, and wide viewing angles, qualities that benefit productivity and content creation. The use of IJP technology could also reduce manufacturing costs compared to WOLED or QD-OLED panels.
The panel is expected to offer high brightness, low power consumption, and the deep blacks typical of OLED displays. If the production schedule remains on track, commercial monitors using this panel may arrive by late 2026 or early 2027.
TCL CSOT has not officially announced the panel or confirmed its production timeline. However, the company’s recent activity and public demonstrations suggest it is preparing to expand its OLED portfolio beyond TVs and into the PC monitor segment.
In related news, TCL CSOT is also ramping up its OLED ambitions with plans for a large-scale 8.6-generation printed OLED factory.
