The TCL 40 NXTPAPER and the TCL 40 NXTPAPER 5G become the world’s first and only smartphone devices to offer a revolutionary full color paper-like visual experience.
Again TCL misrepresenting their NXTPaper display.
At least they’ve stopped actually calling it “full colour epaper” which was an outright lie and moved to “paper-like” which is wrong but legally they can get away with that.
These are IPS LCDs, with standard backlighting. they have a highly matte surface and a semi-reflective layer for improved daylight viewing. they are not E-ink or E-Paper or any of those fully reflective technologies.
as far as I can tell, but since they don’t actually say that it’s either due to a patent on transflective tech (transflexive some branded it) or because it doesnt do as much as that technology did, from the examples i’ve seen of the larger tablets being used in the sun it doesn’t look anywhere near as bright and clear as a good E-ink tablet like a Boox, but in low light or night it looks better but the power usage is significantly higher.
Thanks for the clarification! I think there is still some merit to a more paperlike display, I wish Google kept Ambient EQ beyond the Pixel 4 because it’s quite nice on iPhones

So it’s basically a transflective display, like those used in the PDAs of old?

That’s more or less how a transflective LCD is like; it’s just a LCD with a different way of lighting up the pixels.
