What’s happened? TCL CSOT (a subsidiary of TCL Technology) has announced a series of ground-breaking OLED display technologies which it says “set new industry standards.” These technologies could have major benefits for our future smartphones, tablets, laptops and more.

  • Among the announcements is the world’s first Real Stripe RGB OLED MB display, a 5.65-inch screen with a breakthrough 390ppi – an impressive feat for an RGB OLED display with a visually equivalent diamond-like pixel arrangement reaching 490ppi.
  • We also saw the launch of the world’s first Foldable & Portable display. This 28-inch screen is just 4.48mm thin when unfolded, and has a tri-fold design allowing it to be reduced to a compact 16 inches for easy transportation.
  • TCL CSOT also showed off the world’s first high-refresh-rate IJP OLED laptop display, a 16-inch screen which boasts a 2.5K ultra-high resolution, 100% DCI-P3 cinema-grade wide color gamut, and an adaptive variable refresh rate (48 – 240Hz).

This is important because: Screens are an ever-present in our daily lives, and as technology advances and consumer demands increase, these displays need to adapt to ever evolving requirements and device form factors.

  • TCL CSOT is leading the charge, and as Jun Zhao, Senior Vice President of TCL Technology and CEO of TCL CSOT explains the company “is pioneering a comprehensive and sustainable display ecosystem that exemplifies technological leadership and redefines immersive visual experiences.”
  • “We are committed to delivering ‘great screens’ to the world – screens that fuse AI with display innovation to become intelligent bridges between the digital and physical worlds”, Zhao added.

Why should I care? The screens in our devices are set to become even better, delivering us enhanced, and brand-new experiences.

  • The smartphone-sized RGB OLED display ensures flawless rendering of fine text and delivers a more refined visual experience, which means your next phone might deliver a level of clarity you’ve never seen before.
  • TCL CSOT’s foldable 28-inch monitor could transform how we work on the go, by making large screens more portable. This would allow you to set up an office pretty much anywhere. It even comes with an integrated rear stand.
  • Gaming laptops are in line for visual overhaul too, with TCL CSOT’s new IJP OLED delivering a lightweight, portable screen which still offers the premium features you want from a performance mobile PC.

Okay, what’s next? With TCL CSOT having announced its new display tech, we should expect to start seeing them arrive in devices in the near future.

Anti-surveillance clothing is getting cheaper, but don’t expect an invisibility cloak
Affordable shirts now claim to confuse facial recognition, although their protection depends heavily on the camera and software watching you
Chart, Plot, Adult

Anti-surveillance clothing is starting to look less like an art-school experiment and more like something you could actually wear outside. Shirts designed to confuse facial recognition systems now cost about as much as ordinary streetwear, although buying one won’t make you disappear.

The Guardian reports that designers are using face-like prints, unusual cuts and infrared lights to interfere with computer vision. These techniques target specific weaknesses, so their success depends on what happens to be watching you.

This spinning drone hides in plain sight using a visual illusion
This drone doesn't turn invisible. It tricks your brain into thinking it has.
Phantom Twist

For decades, engineers have chased the dream of an invisible drone. The usual approaches have involved transparent materials, camouflage coatings, or complex optical systems that bend light around an object. Researchers at Northwestern University decided to take a completely different route. Instead of hiding the drone itself, they chose to fool the human eye.

The result is Phantom Twist, an experimental drone that spins so rapidly it almost disappears into the background. It's not technically invisible, but to anyone watching, it looks more like a faint blur than a flying machine.

This smart knitted fabric can flip switches, count your steps, and even change shape
Grandma's knitting just entered its Iron Man era

For most of us, knitting brings to mind sweaters, scarves, and perhaps an ambitious grandmother determined to make winter more fashionable. Researchers at Harvard University, however, have a far more futuristic vision. They've transformed ordinary knitted fabric into a programmable material capable of changing shape, acting as an electrical switch, sensing movement, and potentially forming the foundation of tomorrow's wearable technology.

The research, published in Advanced Functional Materials by scientists at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS), demonstrates how machine-knitted textiles can "snap" between multiple stable shapes without relying on motors or rigid mechanical parts.
