The South Korean display panel maker is also planning to launch its 2023 model QD-OLED display panel.
QD-OLED is Samsung Display’s version of large OLED panels aimed at TV and monitor. They use a blue emission layer that passes through a quantum dot transition layer to represent red and green colors.
This method differs from LG Display’s large OLED panels which do not have such a conversion layer and instead add white pixels to the red, green and blue pixels on the emissive layer while using the color filter.
The company is planning to launch 77-, 65-, 55- and 34-inch sizes as well as a 49-inch model aimed at ultra-wide screens.
Samsung Display says it has applied a new algorithm called IntelliSense AI and new organic materials to the emitting layer that increases the brightness of the display. The company claims that these panels can achieve more than 2,000 nits of brightness while consuming 25% less power than previous panels.
Samsung Display will also unveil a new digital cockpit concept that combines a 34-inch display and a 15.6-inch display. The company will also showcase how to reuse glass and reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the manufacturing process, Samsung Display said.
