RayNeo has officially launched the Air 4 series in China, bringing major improvements in display, performance, audio, and comfort. The lineup includes the standard Air 4 and the premium Air 4 Pro. While its predecessor, the Air 3s Pro, continues to sell globally, the Air 4 series has just debuted in China and is expected to expand internationally in 2026. Let’s take a closer look at what makes this new generation of AR glasses stand out.

World’s First HDR10 AR Glasses

The RayNeo Air 4 is the first AR glasses product to support HDR10, setting a new benchmark for display technology in the category. The glasses include AI-powered SDR-to-HDR conversion, which upgrades non-HDR content to HDR quality on the fly. This enhancement improves contrast, deepens blacks, and boosts color depth without user intervention. The 1200-nit peak brightness ensures clarity even in well-lit environments.

Vision 4000 Display Processor

Both the Air 4 and Air 4 Pro use the Vision 4000 image-processing chip, co-developed by RayNeo and Pixelworks. The chip handles real-time tone mapping, white balance adjustment, and contrast enhancement. The Air 4 Pro supports 10-bit color output, delivering 10.7 billion colors, which results in a 64x improvement in tonal depth over standard 8-bit displays. This processing power ensures that image quality remains consistent across varied content and lighting conditions.

Micro-OLED Display and 3D Support

The glasses use 0.6-inch dual-layer Micro-OLED panels with support for 1920×1080 resolution in 2D and 3840×1080 in 3D mode. They simulate a 135-inch virtual screen viewed from 4 meters, suitable for streaming, gaming, or multitasking. With a 200,000:1 contrast ratio and 98% DCI-P3 color coverage, the display produces rich blacks, vibrant highlights, and accurate tones. The 120Hz refresh rate supports fluid motion during gameplay and high-frame-rate video.

TCL Optical Engine

RayNeo integrates TCL’s second-generation Peacock Optical Engine 2.0 across both models. The optics system benefits from TCL’s display calibration expertise and pushes color coverage up to 145% sRGB. The engine supports precise color tuning that meets the needs of video professionals and content creators. Visuals remain accurate, natural, and free from color drift, even in high-contrast scenes.

Bang & Olufsen Audio

The Air 4 series introduces a four-speaker audio system co-engineered with Bang & Olufsen. It supports spatial 3D surround sound, uses large polymer diaphragms, and employs a proprietary DAC algorithm to maintain clarity and balance. The sound-guiding fins reduce leakage by up to 80%. Whisper Mode focuses sound into the ears, ideal for quiet environments. The Air 4 Pro adds Surround Mode, expanding the soundstage for immersive content.

Comfort and Fit

RayNeo maintains a lightweight design at 76 grams across both models. The frame uses a balanced 46.7:53.3 front-to-back weight ratio to reduce strain on the nose and ears. The temples offer nine levels of adjustment, while the nose pads include three positioning levels, allowing the headset to fit a wide range of face shapes. Prescription lens support adds flexibility for nearsighted users.

Compatibility and Charging

The Air 4 series connects to smartphones, tablets, laptops, and gaming consoles, including the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2, using USB-C or HDMI adapters. The glasses support up to 100W Power Delivery passthrough charging, allowing users to continue viewing or gaming while their device charges in the background. This makes them suitable for long usage sessions without power interruptions.

In related news, global TV shipments fell below 50 million units in Q3 2025, marking a 4.9% year-over-year decline, and Redmi’s product manager stated that RGB OLED represents the future of display technology.

Global TV shipments are showing signs of fatigue. According to the latest data from TrendForce, total shipments in the third quarter of 2025 dropped to 49.75 million units, a 4.9% year-over-year decline, and the first time Q3 figures have dipped below the 50 million mark. Despite a 6% sequential uptick from Q2, the market continues to face headwinds from weaker consumer demand and shifting global dynamics.

TrendForce attributes the slump to extended replacement cycles and the early pull-forward of demand caused by economic uncertainty. In China, where government subsidies previously helped boost local sales, the fading of those incentives has led to a measurable contraction in the domestic market. Together, these factors have slowed momentum for an industry still recovering from the post-pandemic surge in TV upgrades.

The research firm expects a rebound in Q4 as brands push through heavy promotional activity during key shopping seasons like Double 11 and Double 12 in China, as well as Black Friday in Western markets. Shipments are forecast to climb 7.3% quarter-on-quarter to 53.21 million units. Even so, full-year figures are projected to total just 195.59 million units, a 1.2% annual decline.

Samsung maintained its lead as the top global TV brand, followed by Hisense, TCL, LG Electronics, and Xiaomi, together commanding 64.3% of total shipments. Hisense saw the biggest momentum shift, moving from a conservative first half to an assertive pricing strategy in the second. Its Q3 shipments rose 9.7% quarter-on-quarter to 7.66 million units, securing the second spot globally and a 15.4% market share, its highest yet.

While the U.S. market remains relatively stable, the global TV landscape appears to be entering a mature phase, one where innovation, affordability, and brand agility will define who leads the next growth cycle.

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.
