TCL CSOT shows 0.6mm IJP OLED display for thin and light laptops

A 14-inch panel just 0.6mm thick

TCL CSOT has presented a very thin 14-inch IJP OLED display at its DTC 2026 event, according to Notebookcheck. IJP stands for inkjet printed, a manufacturing method in which the OLED material is printed onto the panel rather than deposited through a fine metal mask, the approach used for many current OLED screens.

The company claims the panel measures only 0.6mm in thickness. It is also very light: the demonstration unit weighed 66 grams. Notebookcheck reports that a laptop fitted with this display was shown at the event, and that the device looked relatively thin, although no exact figure for the laptop's overall thickness was given.

Low reflections and a 3A film

A second highlight of the panel is its low reflectivity. TCL CSOT says the display uses a so-called 3A film, which allows more than 99% of ambient light to be either absorbed by the screen or transmitted through it. The company suggests this should make the screen more comfortable to view in bright surroundings.

The panel has a resolution of 1920x1200 pixels, which Notebookcheck describes as more than sufficient for a 14-inch screen. No details on the bezel size were published for this model, but the demo unit reportedly had relatively thin bezels.

Touchscreens to follow later

The demonstration units were not touch-enabled. A TCL CSOT executive told Notebookcheck that touchscreen versions will be available in the future. Adding a touch digitizer, the layer that registers finger input, could eventually make the display thicker again.

The same executive said the thin IJP OLED panel should enable the company's partners to release lightweight laptops. TCL CSOT is still working with those partners on bringing the technology to market.

Part of a wider IJP OLED push

The 14-inch panel was not the only IJP OLED prototype at DTC 2026. TCL CSOT also showed a 16-inch IJP OLED display with a 360Hz refresh rate, meaning the image is refreshed 360 times per second, and another 16-inch panel with bezels as thin as 1.6mm.

Together, the prototypes indicate that TCL CSOT is positioning inkjet-printed OLED as a display technology for slim, light portable computers rather than only for televisions or monitors.

When laptops with this panel could arrive

There is no confirmed launch date yet. According to Notebookcheck, TCL CSOT is still collaborating with partners, and commercial laptops using the 0.6mm panel could enter the market in 2027.

For buyers of thin and light laptops, the technology promises two practical benefits: a lighter and thinner device, and a screen that reflects less ambient light. Both claims come from TCL CSOT and the event demonstration, so real-world results in shipping products remain to be seen.
