Paper-like display technology on NXTPAPER 11

The TCL NXTPAPER 11 is a smaller version of the 12-inch tablet that was unveiled at last year’s CES and cost almost half the price. The new NXTPAPER 11 is a 10.95-inch tablet that boasts an IPS LCD screen with a resolution of 2,000 x 1,200px (15:9), providing sharp visuals with a unique coating for a pleasant feeling akin to that of paper. An optional pressure-sensitive stylus is also available, capable of detecting up to 4,096 pressure levels.

The new version of the NXTPAPER 11 display has been upgraded with the advanced NXTPAPER 2.0 technology with 500 nits of peak brightness; this is a noticeable improvement compared to its predecessor. The anti-glare design allows users to enjoy an optimal viewing experience even in bright rooms and outdoors.

On top of that, the innovative light sensor automatically adjusts and adapts the display’s color temperature according to its environment for optimal visibility in any setting. By utilizing hardware-level filtering, TCL claims that the technology exceeds even TÜV-certified levels of blue light reduction and is beneficial for protecting eye health. Not only does the feature maintain color accuracy, but it also helps to prevent screen yellowing from occurring.
