Lenovo Announces World’s First Laptop With Inkjet-Printed OLED
Lenovo has introduced the Legion R9000P 2025, the first laptop to feature an inkjet-printed OLED display manufactured by TCL CSOT. This technology promises to reduce manufacturing costs and waste, though current retail prices remain high.
Why it matters
Advancements in display manufacturing technology could significantly lower the cost of high-end electronics if production scales successfully.

Think frosting a cake through a stencil — precise, but wasteful and expensive to scale. TCL CSOT just threw out the stencil. Its inkjet-printed (IJP) OLED process uses precision inkjet printers to deposit OLED "inks" directly onto the substrate, droplet by droplet, exactly where needed. No masks. No vacuum evaporation. And now, for the first time, that process lives inside a laptop : the Lenovo Legion R9000P 2025 Ultimate Edition , according to Tom's Hardware .
