A Team with thousand person, 15 Months’ Polishing with Care
To achieve the stability of both technology and functionality, Kieslect invested 1,000 people and spent 15 months finishing the research, and the R&D costs amounted to $375,000. Each function has been tested rigorously to detect and resolve bugs, ensuring the watch’s outstanding stability.

Comprehensive Compatibility Tests Ensured Seamless Connection
In addition, in terms of compatibility, at least 100 models have been released by each brand over the past five years globally. To ensure compatibility with these devices, Kieslect not only conducted comprehensive tests domestically but also dispatched overseas staff to test network and performance locally, ensuring that the Kieslect Actor operates seamlessly when connected to smartphones.

How Has Curved Display Evolved in Smartwatches?
As curved display technology matured on smartphones, smartwatches began adopting it. Samsung pioneered this with the Galaxy Gear S in 2014. Other brands followed: Amazfit released Amazfit X in 2019, OPPO launched the OPPO Watch with an AMOLED curved screen in 2020, and Huawei introduced the Watch 4 in 2023. As of 2024, aside from Kieslect’s third-generation square watch Ks 3, no other brands have adopted curved displays.

What are the Advantages of Curved Display?
1.The slightly curved inward display reduces border interference and better fits the retina’s curvature, ensuring consistent distance from the eyes; 2.Protruding surfaces make images more three-dimensional, resulting in brighter picture quality and enhanced color presentation; 3.A flexible curved display fits naturally on the wrist, aligning with ergonomic design for higher comfortability.

The launch of the Kieslect Ks 3 reflects the development of curved displays and Kieslect’s commitment to brand innovation. With ongoing technological advancements, Kieslect will continue to innovate beyond its comfort zone.

What is Curved Display?
A curved display is a type of display that uses flexible technology, mainly implemented through OLED panels. Distinct from conventional flat displays, this display incorporates a deliberate curvature, commonly used in devices such as smartphones and monitors.

What’s the origin of Curved Display Technology?
The origin of curved display can be traced back to significant innovations in the smartphone. Samsung pioneered this shift in 2013 with the introduction of the world’s first curved display smartphone, the Galaxy Round, marking the commercialization of the technology. In 2014, Samsung’s release of the Galaxy Note Edge reinforced the standing of curved displays, providing new ideas for the display design of subsequent smart devices.

Q: What are the differences between LTPO display and Amoled display?

A: As demonstrated in the comparison, the most noticeable difference between the LTPO display and AMOLED display is in their visual quality. Setting the same watch face on two devices—one featuring the Kieslect Actor with an LTPO display and the other with a Huawei GT 3 using an AMOLED display—both at 100% brightness under identical lighting conditions, it becomes evident that the Kieslect Actor offers a brighter and clearer image. The LTPO display showcases more saturated and vivid colors, while also being more eye-friendly and consuming less power during prolonged use.

Q：As of the release of Kieslect Actor at the end of August 2024, how has LTPO display developed on smartwatches?

A：Since the introduction of LTPO displays in smartwatches in 2019, a total of 12 models have adopted this advanced technology by the release of the Kieslect Actor on August 8, 2024. Kieslect has become the first brand outside of tech giants Apple, Samsung, and Huawei to integrate LTPO displays.
Among these 12 models, five high-end smartwatches (highlighted in red bars) feature both LTPO displays and ceramic bezels. While the prices of the other four models range from $399 to $799, users can experience the Kieslect Actor with both premium features for just $98—an incredible value for high-end performance!

Kieslect is proud to contribute to writing the development story of LTPO technology in smartwatches, pushing the boundaries of display innovation. Looking ahead, Kieslect is dedicated to setting even higher standards, driving continuous breakthroughs not only in screen display technology but also across non-display fields, ensuing the brand stays at the forefront of the smartwatch industry.

Q: What is LTPO?
A: LTPO, or Low Temperature Polycrystalline Oxide, is a breakthourgh in display backplane technology, engineered to maximize energy efficiency in modern devices. With superior performance over traditional LTPS (Low Temperature Poly-Silicon) displays, LTPO can dynamically adjust its refresh rate, significantly cutting power concumption. This means longer bateery life and fewer charging interruptions, offering users a seamless, more conveient experience.

Q: Where did the LTPO display first appear?
A: The rise of LTPO display technology was driven by the need for longer battery life, particularly in wearables. In 2019, tech giant Apple introduced LTPO displays in the Apple Watch Series 5, revolutionizing battery performanec by enabling “Always-On Display (AOD)” for over 18 hours. Since then, Apple has continued to leverage LTPO in its subsequent watch watch models, further enhancing power efficiency and user experience.

Q: Why is LTPO display usually used in high-end smartphone models?
A: In 2020, Samsung became the first to integrate LTPO technology into a smartphone with the launch of the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. Before this, LTPO display were rare in smartphones due to the additional oxidation process required during production, which naturally increased costs. This higher production cost positioned LTPO displays primarily for premium flaship models. Following Samsung’s lead, LTPO displays began appearing in several high-end devices, including the iPhone 13 Pro / Pro Max (2021), Google Pixel 7 Pro (2022), Motorola Razr (2023), and Huawei Mate X5 (2024).
