TCL announced on October 31 that it had donated a solar-powered outdoor display system to Université Amadou Mahtar Mbow in Senegal, whose campus will serve as the Youth Olympic Village during the Dakar 2026 Youth Olympic Games.
The company said the installation will operate as an information hub for the university. Its announcement describes a 75-inch display designed by TCL CSOT using Field Sequential Color technology.
TCL reported that the screen can deliver brightness of 4,000 nits while consuming approximately 300 watts. Those performance figures are the company’s specifications, rather than results of independent testing reported here.
The system generates color by switching red, green and blue light in sequence, according to TCL. The company said this design eliminates conventional color filters and improves how much light passes through the display.
The outdoor installation is intended to remain readable in direct sunlight and to support campus facilities beyond the university’s role in hosting athletes. The release did not specify the exact date of the donation ceremony; October 31 is the date of the announcement.
The university donation accompanies a separate TCL-backed public-art initiative in Dakar. The company said its Yeesal partnership supports 43 artists, particularly creators younger than 35, in producing large murals inspired by African athletes, cultural diversity and young people’s aspirations.
Those murals are intended to remain part of the city’s landscape. They are distinct from the display system being installed at the university.
TCL said it entered the African market in 2004 and now sells televisions and home appliances in nearly 50 countries on the continent. The latest announcement connects that commercial presence with the university installation and the company’s Olympic partnership.
