Redmi Product Manager Sun Cun has stated that RGB OLED is the definitive direction for future display technology. He made the remark on Weibo while responding to a post by tech blogger Digital Chat Station, who noted the increasing adoption of RGB OLED panels across display manufacturers.

According to Digital Chat Station, TCL CSOT, BOE, and Visionox have already produced RGB OLED samples, with Tianma expected to follow soon. He also mentioned that a major smartphone brand recently started testing BOE’s RGB OLED panel for an upcoming flagship. He added that 1.5K RGB resolution offers sufficient pixel density for mainstream flagships, with no impact on support for LIPO technology or high refresh rates.

Xiaomi is one of the early adopters of RGB OLED. We already know that the Xiaomi 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max both use displays supplied exclusively by TCL CSOT. The 17 Pro Max, in particular, adopts a Real RGB OLED panel based on Super Pixel Arrangement technology, a setup that remains rare in the OLED market.

Xiaomi Chairman and CEO Lei Jun previously said the new panel delivers visual clarity equivalent to traditional 2K displays while reducing power consumption by 26 percent. He described the technology as a major step forward in balancing display sharpness and energy efficiency.

RGB OLED panels use a true RGB subpixel structure instead of the more common pentile layout found in most OLEDs. This allows for more precise image rendering and improved text clarity, especially at lower resolutions. As more manufacturers begin exploring RGB OLED, the technology could become a key factor in display development for future smartphones.

RayNeo, the TCL-backed brand, has officially introduced the RayNeo Air 4 AR display glasses. The new wearable starts at 1,599 yuan ($224) for the standard edition and 1,699 yuan ($238) for the Pro version. Both variants are now available on platforms including JD.com.

RayNeo Air 4 Specifications

The RayNeo Air 4 is the world’s first pair of AR glasses to support HDR10 display technology. It uses a 0.6-inch dual-layer Micro-OLED panel with a peak brightness of 1200 nits, a 200,000:1 contrast ratio, and 10-bit color output. The display renders over a billion colors and offers an effective 135-inch virtual screen at a 4-meter distance. The system supports both 2D and 3D video playback with resolutions of 1920×1080 and 3840×1080, respectively.

The device features real-time SDR-to-HDR conversion using the Vision 4000 display chip, co-developed by RayNeo and Pixelworks. This chip dynamically enhances brightness, contrast, and tone mapping across scenes. The display also integrates TCL’s second-generation Peacock Optical Engine 2.0, achieving 98% DCI-P3 and 145% sRGB color accuracy. The glasses operate at 120Hz and support 2D-to-3D video conversion.

RayNeo collaborated with Bang & Olufsen on the audio system, featuring four spatially tuned speakers for balanced mids and consistent volume. It sports a new sound-guiding fin design that directs audio toward the ears, reducing leakage by up to 80%. It also includes a Whisper Mode for quiet environments, while the Pro version adds a Surround Mode for immersive listening.

The display system includes TÜV Rheinland-certified eye protection, with low blue light, flicker-free viewing, and 3840 Hz high-frequency PWM dimming. Three visual modes: Standard, Cinema, and Eye Comfort, allow users to optimize brightness and tone based on viewing conditions.

The device weighs 76 grams and features an ergonomic frame with adjustable temples and nose pads. It supports prescription lens installation. For connectivity, it includes USB-C and HDMI, enabling compatibility with smartphones, laptops, tablets, and game consoles. The glasses also support 100W PD passthrough charging for extended use.

The glasses come equipped with an accelerometer, gyroscope, geomagnetic sensor, and proximity sensor. The retail box includes the glasses, a protective case, cleaning cloth, user guide, and warranty card. The Pro variant additionally includes a light-blocking shield.

In related news, a new $4 billion OLED factory could reshape how next-generation screens are produced, while the Xiaomi 18 Pro is expected to retain its rear display, with TCL CSOT reportedly supplying the panels.
