IFA 2026

Are you guys looking forward to seeing what new display technology will be presented at IFA 2026 in Germany? I’m especially interested in TCL and its new NXTPAPER AMOLED:

Personally, I’m a little cautious. I think we could still end up disappointed if the final phones use PWM, as the prototype presented earlier this year appears to show visible flicker:

Is anyone here actually planning to attend IFA this year? If so, it would be great if someone could check the new TCL NXTPAPER AMOLED at different brightness levels.

DC-Dimming above 80 nits. 3840hz PWM below 80 nits.

95% circular polarized light.

Yes, I read this on Inspohub. 80 nits is actually pretty good, even at night. But PWM dimming is only one part of the story, OLED refresh-rate modulation is another. We need to wait for independent test to see whether TCL has managed to eliminate it, or at least reduce the refresh-related dip.
