Similar to last year, TCL is showing off a new generation of NXTPAPER tech this week at CES 2025. The new NXTPAPER 11 Plus tablet is built around the (also new) NXTPAPER 4.0 screen, which uses “nano-matrix lithography” to improve clarity and sharpness. Color accuracy has improved too, with the new output measuring just one on the Delta-E scale (the metric measures how the human eye perceives color differences and any value of one or lower is said to be imperceptible to the human eye).
Since 2021, TCL has been trying to craft a screen that’s easier on the eyes with its NXTPAPER tech, and now it’s throwing AI into the mix (perhaps unsurprisingly). The new AI-powered Smart Eye Comfort Mode on the 11 Plus tablet adjusts output based on different usage scenarios, and the Personalized Eye Comfort Modes let users adjust eye-comfort settings to their liking.
The new tablet will support Google’s Circle to Search feature and the Smart Voice Memo function will transcribe and summarize recordings. There’s a Smart Translator to handle language from voice, text and images and AI Subtitles offers real-time dialog transcription.
TCL’s NXTPAPER tech is relatively unique in the display industry, providing something that looks almost like E-Ink, but with the speed, resolution and sharpness of a traditional LCD display. Pricing and availability for the NXTPAPER 11 Plus are still forthcoming.
