TCL Mini LED, Foldable Tech, and Display Innovations

Overview

TCL continues to advance its display capabilities through its SQD-Mini LED platform, which integrates Mini LED backlighting with Super Quantum Dot materials to maintain color accuracy at high brightness levels. This technology targets peak brightness of up to 10,000 nits and over 20,000 local dimming zones. Specific product developments include the C8L Mini LED TV, which utilizes a redesigned backlight architecture featuring blue Mini-LED chips, a super-quantum-dot layer, micro-OD optics, and a WHVA 2.0 Ultra panel. The C8L offers up to 6,000 nits of peak HDR brightness, covers 100% of the BT.2020 color space, and features more than 4,000 local dimming zones.

Expanding its 2026 lineup, TCL introduced the MSQLED85L premium television. Developed in collaboration with the panel division CSOT, the MSQLED85L utilizes SQD-MiniLED technology with an upgraded Quantum Dot color filter and an audio system developed with Bang & Olufsen. For gaming, its 144Hz panel supports VRR, FreeSync Premium Pro, and Dolby Vision.

In Indonesia, TCL is expanding its premium market presence with the C7L SQD-Mini LED TV series. This series utilizes Super Condensed Micro Lenses to reduce blooming. Models 65 inches and larger feature peak HDR brightness of up to 3,000 nits and CSOT HVA 2.0 Pro panels. The C7L has since been positioned as a mid-range gaming and cinema option, with availability in South Africa (75, 85, and 98-inch sizes) and Europe. Additionally, TCL has partnered with Roku in Mexico to launch a new line of MiniLED televisions featuring integrated Roku TV software.

Furthering its hardware expansion, TCL introduced the C7K Mini-LED television, a high-performance option priced under 1,000 euros. TCL is also entering the mobile sector with the P80 Ultra smartphone, featuring a matte OLED display. The company has further extended its global reach, launching the Q7D Pro QD-Mini LED line in Brazil.
