Samsung Display has a booth at Computex to showcase the latest display technologies, and it is also showcasing its Ultra Slim laptop OLED panel. An under-development display panel for laptops that reduces module outer-edge thickness by more than 20% compared to the current set of panels in mass production.
Samsung says the slimmer profile is the result of etching of both the TFT substrate glass and the encapsulation glass, which reduces their thickness by more than 30%. The display panel also features Samsung’s proprietary process techniques to prevent warping, a risk that increases as panels become thinner.
Despite the reduced thickness, Samsung claims the Ultra Slim panel maintains its display performance benchmarks. Laptops using Samsung OLED can achieve the True Black 1000 tier under VESA’s DisplayHDR certification, which requires blacks below 0.0005 nits and a peak brightness of 1,000 nits at a 10% On Pixel Ratio. Refresh rates support from 165Hz to 240Hz, which is currently the highest available refresh rate among laptop OLEDs in mass production. The panels also support a maximum ClearMR 11000 rating from VESA, indicating 110 clear pixels for every blurry pixel during fast motion.
Samsung is also showing a world-first 4K 360Hz QD-OLED monitor panel and its five-layer Penta Tandem technology, along with 14 other display technologies at the same booth.
