Samsung Display showcased its QD-LED display technology at SID Display Week 2024
20 May 2024, 20:03:16
At SID Display Week 2024, Samsung Display showcased its QD-LED technology. This is the industry-first quantum dot light-emitting diode (QD-LED) display with a next-generation self-lighting technology that uses ultra-fine semiconductor particles to create RGB pixels.
While currently commercialized QD-OLEDs produce color by passing light from a blue OLED through a QD-emitting layer, QD-LEDs emit light directly from the QD RGB pixels through the current drive without an OLED. The wide color gamut and high color accuracy that is unique to QDs allow for a superior viewing experience. Additionally, the stable material properties of quantum dots, make it highly efficient to manufacture and enable large-scale patterning through inkjet printing.
The notebook-sized 18.2-inch QD-LED unveiled at the event has a resolution of 3200x1800 with a high pixel density of 202 PPI and a brightness of 250 nits, which is comparable to high-resolution premium monitors. The development of QD-LED products with eco-friendly cadmium (Cd)-free quantum dots, which is highly technically advanced, has been praised by industry experts, and the related papers have been awarded the Best Paper of the Year by SID.
Samsung Display also showcased its latest QD-OLED products, now in their third year of production. The world's first 4K 31.5-inch and 360 Hz 27-inch gaming monitors, as well as the new 65-inch TV panel with a maximum brightness of 3,000 nits, can be seen at the company's booth.
