LAHORE, Jan 7: TCL has unveiled a wide range of next-generation display technologies and AI-powered smart living solutions at CES 2026, highlighting its push toward immersive entertainment, intelligent homes, and connected lifestyles.
At the annual technology showcase in Las Vegas, the company presented what it described as several world-first display innovations, alongside a broader portfolio of intelligent devices designed for home, entertainment, and productivity use.
Advancements in display technology
A key highlight of TCL’s presentation was the debut of its SQD-Mini LED technology, which introduces a refined approach to local dimming aimed at improving contrast control and visual accuracy. The technology combines Mini LED backlighting with TCL’s Super QLED system and an ultra-color filter panel, enabling higher brightness, more stable color performance, and longer panel lifespan.
TCL also showcased the X11L, described as the world’s first television powered by SQD-Mini LED technology. The model features a wide color gamut, high peak brightness, and a large number of precision dimming zones designed to enhance HDR viewing. The TV incorporates a slim, near-borderless design and integrated premium audio.
In software and content enhancement, TCL demonstrated updates built around Google TV integration and Dolby Vision technology. The company said upcoming models would introduce more advanced visual processing features and user interaction tools, with some updates expected to roll out to select product lines via over-the-air updates in 2026.
Focus on AI-powered smart living
Beyond displays, TCL presented a range of AI-enabled home appliances and smart devices aimed at improving energy efficiency and daily convenience. These included air conditioners, refrigerators, washing machines, and washer-dryer combinations equipped with intelligent control systems.
The company also highlighted its smart security and energy management solutions, which integrate biometric access, connected home controls, and AI-driven power management to support lower energy consumption and more efficient household operations.
In the entertainment segment, TCL showcased portable projection solutions and demonstrated AI-based tools designed to enhance picture quality, sound, and user interaction. Among the concepts on display was AiMe, a modular AI companion robot intended to provide adaptive and interactive support within smart home environments.
Design and sustainability partnerships
TCL’s CES presence also emphasized design collaboration and sustainability. Through its NXTHOME platform, the company is combining smart home technologies with lifestyle-focused design concepts, developed in collaboration with international partners in audio, automotive design, and materials innovation.
The company also introduced ECORA, a sustainable material developed from recycled porcelain ceramics, reflecting its broader focus on environmentally conscious product development.
TCL’s CES 2026 exhibit is on display from January 6 to 9 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, Central Hall.
