TCL today introduced Super QD MiniLED (SQD MiniLED), marking not just a new name but a meaningful step forward in display innovation. Built on TCL’s continued leadership in Mini LED technology, SQD MiniLED combines more precise light control, richer color performance, and a more refined viewing experience designed to elevate the premium TV experience.
The introduction of SQD MiniLED reflects TCL’s ongoing commitment to advancing display technology while making innovative features more accessible to consumers. By integrating multiple display improvements into one platform, TCL continues to strengthen its position in the evolving television market while focusing on picture quality, color accuracy, and overall viewing performance.
The announcement also highlights TCL’s continued momentum in the global TV industry, supported by strong shipment performance and recognition across multiple categories.
TCL Strengthens Global Leadership in the TV Market
The introduction of SQD MiniLED is supported by TCL’s continued success in the global television industry. According to Omdia, TCL ranked No.1 globally in shipment market share for 75-inch-and-above TV sets in 2025, No.1 in global Mini LED TV shipment market share in 2025, and No.1 in global Google TV shipment market from 2021 to 2025.
These achievements reinforce TCL’s growing presence in the premium television segment while highlighting the company’s continued investment in display innovation. The strong market performance also demonstrates increasing consumer demand for larger screens and advanced display technologies.
“TCL’s mission has always been to make advanced technology accessible while continuing to push the boundaries of what display products can do. Whether in the home, or wearable devices, we see our display products as the interface between people and the digital world.” said Daniel Sun, Chief Technology Officer at TCL Industries.
The company’s latest display technology reflects that vision by combining hardware advancements with refined image processing to create an improved viewing experience across different types of content.
Three Core Technologies Behind TCL SQD MiniLED
At the core of SQD MiniLED are three key technology advancements that work together to improve brightness, color performance, and overall image quality.
The first is Precise Dimming, which enhances backlight control through upgraded light-emitting chips, next-generation micro-lens technology, reduced halo interference, micro-OD design, and advanced light control algorithms. Together, these improvements deliver higher brightness, better uniformity, improved dark-scene performance, smoother motion, and a slimmer TV profile.
The second advancement is Super QLED. This technology further improves color performance with a 33% wider color gamut, 17% higher color purity, and 45% blue light energy optimization. The result is richer colors, purer color expression, and a more comfortable viewing experience while maintaining vivid image quality.
Completing the SQD MiniLED technology platform is the Ultra Color Filter. TCL enhanced color filtering precision using upgraded materials and a refined development process completed over five years. With particle sizes smaller than 5 nanometers, the Ultra Color Filter helps reduce color impurities while restoring colors more accurately on screen, contributing to improved visual fidelity.
Together, these three technologies represent the foundation of TCL SQD MiniLED, combining precise lighting, enhanced color accuracy, and refined image quality into a single display solution.
TCL X11L Showcases the Full Potential of SQD MiniLED
Among TCL’s flagship innovations, the TCL X11L, the World’s First SQD Mini LED Flagship, serves as the ultimate embodiment of SQD MiniLED technology. The television showcases the company’s latest display advancements by integrating Precise Dimming, Super QLED, and the Ultra Color Filter into one premium display platform.
The TCL X11L also received international recognition during CES 2026. It was honored with the Innovative Display Technology Gold Award at the GTB Awards, a respected global consumer electronics honor founded by International Data Group (IDG) and supported by IDC.
The recognition highlights TCL’s continued focus on display innovation while reinforcing the significance of SQD MiniLED as the company’s newest premium television technology.
As the global TV market continues to shift toward larger screens and higher expectations for picture quality, TCL remains committed to leading the next generation of display innovation. More than simply introducing a new name, SQD MiniLED represents TCL’s next step in redefining what premium TV technology can deliver through improved brightness, enhanced color performance, precise light control, and a more immersive viewing experience.
