In the fierce competition of display technologies, LCD screens have continuously broken through their own limitations through continuous technological innovations, bringing a completely new visual experience to various fields. Recently, several industry giants have made key progress in LCD technology, from display effects, structural materials to core components, reshaping the future landscape of LCD screens in all aspects.
1. Display Effects: Multi-dimensional Upgrade, Picture Quality Reaches a New Level
(1) High Resolution and High Refresh Rate Coexist
Traditional LCDs face many challenges in improving resolution and refresh rate. However, the 98-inch LCD TV display showcased by TCL HuaZhou at the SID Display Week this year successfully achieved the perfect integration of high resolution and high refresh rate, reaching 4K resolution and high frame rate display, setting a new benchmark for the visual experience of large-screen TVs. The clarity and smoothness of the picture make users feel as if they are in the scene. At the same time, the e-sports market has also received significant benefits. The HVA Fast technology released by TCL HuaZhou at ChinaJoy2025 shortened the response time of LCD display panels to 1ms, far exceeding the 5ms response time of mainstream e-sports monitors on the market. This breakthrough means that professional players, especially professional athletes, can capture opponents' movements faster in the game, seizing the initiative, and greatly enhancing the competitive experience of e-sports games.
(2) Color Gamut Expansion and Color Accuracy Improvement
Color gamut and color accuracy have always been important indicators for measuring display effects. The RGB three-dimensional color control liquid crystal display technology released by Hisense Group is a major revolution in the industry. This technology breaks the limitations of traditional blue / white backlighting and realizes independent backlighting for red, green, and blue colors, moving from "single light control" to "light and color control together". By controlling the luminance of the three independent light sources, it can directly generate rich colors without the need for quantum dot secondary conversion, adding precise control of color temperature dimensions on the basis of traditional two-dimensional partitioned light control, and for the first time solving the industry's problem of light and color control. This enables LCD screens to present purer, more accurate, and more transparent colors, redefining the global high-end display standards.
2. Structure and Materials: Innovation Breakthrough, Giving LCD a New Form
(1) Flexible and Ultra-Thin Design Achieve a New Leap
For a long time, LCDs have been considered to have shortcomings in flexibility and ultra-thin design. However, technological development has continuously broken the conventional perception. TCL HuaZhou's LCD variable curvature technology enables users to customize the screen curvature, achieving the free conversion of LCD display modules between curved and straight surfaces. This innovation not only brings personalized visual experiences to users, meeting the needs of different scenarios such as e-sports scenarios with curved immersion and office scenarios with straight wide viewing angles, but also breaks the fixed form limitations of LCD display modules in mass production technology. Compared with OLED variable curvature, this technology has the advantages of high color, high resolution, low energy consumption, and low cost, opening up a new path for LCD in flexible display.
In terms of ultra-thin design, the industry has also made significant progress. Major manufacturers have successfully reduced the thickness of LCD panels to new levels by optimizing panel structures and materials. For example, some products have exceeded the thickness of millimeters, providing strong support for the development of lightweight display devices.
(2) Application of Environmental-friendly Materials Becomes a New Trend
With the enhancement of environmental awareness, the display industry is increasingly emphasizing the application of environmental-friendly materials. HKC Huike has introduced the CR2400 technology through optimizing the friction alignment process. This technology not only increases the static contrast of LCD panels to 2400:1, reaching the industry-leading level, but also makes significant breakthroughs in environmental protection. This technology avoids the reliance on expensive photosensitive materials and precise ultraviolet exposure equipment in the light alignment process, reducing costs by 30%, while lowering energy consumption by 50%. Each panel production saves 2kW·h, reducing the energy consumption per unit output by 50% compared to traditional processes. It also eliminates the risk of mercury pollution from ultraviolet lamps, reducing carbon emissions by 800 tons per year per production line, providing a practical solution for the green and sustainable development of LCD production.
III. Core Technology Domesticization: Breaking Monopoly and Enhancing Industrial Autonomy
In the core component technologies of LCD display screens, domestic enterprises are constantly making breakthroughs, reducing their reliance on foreign technologies. For example, in the field of panel driver chips, domestic manufacturers have increased research and development investment and launched a series of chips with independent intellectual property rights, gradually enhancing their competitiveness in the mid-to-high-end market. In the polarizing film sector, through technological innovation and process improvement, domestic polarizing films are continuously approaching international advanced levels in performance and their market share is gradually expanding. The domesticization of these core technologies not only enhances the supply chain security of the domestic display industry but also boosts the global market of the entire industry.
The breakthroughs and innovations in LCD display screen technologies, such as display effects, structural materials, and core technology domesticization, have injected new vitality into its applications in various fields. Whether in traditional fields such as televisions and gaming monitors, or in emerging fields such as vehicle displays and medical displays, LCD displays continuously upgrade their technical advantages to meet the diverse needs of the market, demonstrating strong development potential on the display technology track and leading the new transformation of visual experience.
