The global display market is poised to expand from $265.5 billion in 2024 to $600 billion by 2034 (source: Market.us), driven by advancements like BOE’s UB Cell Gen.3 and ADS Pro. These technologies harness AI to redefine visual performance, energy efficiency, and adaptability across diverse environments.
What is UB Cell Gen.3 Display Technology
UB Cell Gen. 3 refers to the third-generation UB Cell display technology developed by BOE (Beijing Optoelectronics Technology). Based on BOE's advanced ADS Pro LCD display technology, it integrates AI intelligent control to achieve supreme picture quality.
Display Performance
- Ultra-high Color Gamut and Full Viewing Angle Without Color Shifting: Utilizing SAP pixel design and STW Viewing Angle Compensation Technology 2.0, the display transmittance rate is increased by 30%, with a color gamut coverage reaching 95% BT.2020. The ultra-wide viewing angle screen presents rich colors and high color accuracy, enabling family members to enjoy consistent exceptional viewing experiences from any angle.
- High Ambient Perception Contrast Ratio: Using low-scattering and low-reflection materials, screen reflectivity is controlled below 0.7%. When ambient brightness is 100 Lux (similar to a living room) and display brightness is 500 nits, the UB Cell's ambient perceived contrast ratio reaches 1400:1, significantly higher than the approximately 400:1 ratio of conventional OLED TVs. This allows users to easily perceive delicate light and shadow details.
- High Refresh Rate: Combining EPQ image quality enhancement technology with HSR refresh rate doubling technology, it can stably output high-resolution, high-refresh-rate videos at 4K 120Hz/HSR 240Hz (with a maximum of 4K 165Hz/HSR 330Hz). This meets the demanding requirements for image quality and display smoothness in shooting, racing, and other 3A games.
- Excellent Contrast Ratio: Achieves a static contrast ratio of 3,000,000:1, delivering deep blacks and rich details in dark scenes for a more immersive visual experience.
AI Intelligent Control
- Light and Temperature Sensors: The display integrates six light sensors and one temperature sensor to dynamically monitor environmental brightness, color temperature, panel temperature, and indoor ambient temperature. Based on real-time data and application modes such as TV, movie, and gallery, the TV dynamically adjusts backlight brightness, color temperature, circuit settings, driving voltage, and other parameters to ensure optimal visual quality.
- Dynamic Local Refresh: The display panel hardware supports the "Dynamic Local Refresh (DLR)" function. Depending on the content displayed, it can dynamically adjust the refresh rate of any position and area on the panel. For example, during video playback, the image area maintains normal refresh rates while black areas are adjusted to 1Hz, reducing display power consumption by up to 50%.
- Voice Interaction: Equipped with the "BOE AI TV Digital Assistant" voice interaction control system, which uses BOE's self-developed end-side offline speech recognition algorithms and is trained with the ASR contextual training model. The speech recognition correction rate reaches 95%, with a response latency as low as 50 milliseconds. Users can switch display modes, obtain sensor data, interact with the environment, and read power consumption and panel parameter information through voice commands.
Other Advanced Innovations
- Health Mode 2.0: Integrates hardware, algorithms, and user experience to achieve three-level eye protection—foundational hardware-level eye protection, AI-aware intelligent eye protection, and self-regulated user habits—providing comprehensive care for users' eye health.
- Multi-Screen Interaction: Supports wireless connections with mobile devices, tablets, laptops, and other gadgets. Content can be mirrored on the TV screen, with a low latency of ≤80ms. It also supports slot mapping for devices, enabling one-click projection via voice control.
