TCL Donates Solar-Powered Ultra-Low-Power Display System to Senegal’s Youth Olympic Village
TCL introduces advanced 75-inch display technology at Université Amadou Mahtar Mbow, supporting sustainable development and preparations for the Dakar 2026 Youth Olympic Games.
LAHORE, November 12, 2026: Global technology brand TCL has donated an advanced solar-powered, ultra-low-power display system to Université Amadou Mahtar Mbow (UAM) in Senegal, reinforcing its commitment to sustainable technology and community development across Africa.
The university campus will serve as the Youth Olympic Village during the Dakar 2026 Youth Olympic Games. The donated display will function as an outdoor information hub, providing students, faculty members and visitors with clear information even under direct sunlight.
The donation ceremony was attended by International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Kirsty Coventry, UAM President Professor Mababa Diagne, Senegal’s Higher Education Minister Boubacar Camara, TCL Charity Ambassador Jacky Heung, and TCL Industries Middle East and Africa General Manager Sunny Yang.
Professor Diagne said the advanced display technology would create new opportunities for campus facilities while supporting students and faculty members.
Sunny Yang highlighted TCL’s commitment to using innovation to create meaningful benefits for communities, adding that the company’s growth in Africa would go hand in hand with its responsibility towards local communities.
Advanced Display Technology Combines Brightness and Energy Efficiency
The donated system features a 75-inch high-brightness Field Sequential Color (FSC) display developed by TCL CSOT. It delivers brightness of up to 4,000 nits while consuming approximately 300 watts of power.
Unlike conventional displays that rely on color filters, FSC technology produces colors through the sequential switching of red, green and blue light. This approach improves light utilization, achieving transmittance of more than 15%.
The technology is designed to deliver clear outdoor visibility while reducing energy consumption. Its solar-powered system further supports sustainable energy use.
TCL Supports African Art and Young Creators
Alongside its technological contribution, TCL is supporting local artists through TCLArt’s partnership with Dakar’s Yeesal urban art initiative.
The project brings together 43 Senegalese artists, particularly those under the age of 35, to create public murals inspired by African athletes, cultural diversity and the aspirations of young people.
Through initiatives such as TCLArt and TCLYoung, the company aims to promote artistic expression and encourage emerging creative talent.
TCL Strengthens Its Presence Across Africa
TCL’s latest initiatives build on more than two decades of operations in Africa, where the company entered the market in 2004.
Today, TCL televisions and home appliances are available in nearly 50 African countries, supported by six sales subsidiaries and three regional business units.
The company has also expanded its retail network, including the opening of its first African TCL brand experience store in Johannesburg and the development of its own retail and distribution channel in Kenya.
Through technology, community partnerships and localized operations, TCL continues to strengthen its presence in Africa while promoting innovation, sustainability and opportunities for the next generation.
