[CES2022] "Next-Level Picture Quality"... Samsung Display Unveils QD Displays for TV and Monitor

Introducing the Unique Technology Representing OLED Panels: 'Diamond Pixel'

Samsung Display set up a private booth at the Encore Hotel in Las Vegas, USA, during CES 2022 and showcased the world's first QD display with embedded quantum dots.

[Las Vegas (USA) = Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heung-soon] Samsung Display unveiled Quantum Dot (QD) displays for TVs and monitors on the morning of the 4th (local time) ahead of the opening of CES 2022, the world's largest electronics and IT exhibition held in Las Vegas, USA.

The recently mass-produced QD display is the world's first self-luminous display with embedded quantum dots and no backlight. Samsung Display showcased a total of three products: 55-inch and 65-inch TV panels and a 34-inch monitor panel.

Unlike conventional large displays that reproduce colors using color filters, the QD display features a 'QD light-emitting layer' completed through proprietary inkjet printing technology, offering the highest level of color reproduction, wide viewing angles, bright color luminance, and innovative HDR.

Quantum dots, semiconductor particles that emit different colors depending on their size, realize pure RGB (the three primary colors of light). The company explained that it expresses reds closest to true red and blues closest to true blue, producing colors closest to pure primary colors among currently commercialized displays. Additionally, by reproducing colors using only RGB pixels, brightness does not drop when expressing RGB colors, enabling even more vivid colors.

The QD display utilizes local dimming technology of subpixels to express true black below 0.0005 nits and a maximum brightness of 1500 nits. Due to this wide luminance range, bright areas appear brighter and dark areas darker, allowing detailed contrast expression even on very dark screens.

S-shaped multi-foldable display 'Flex S'

Samsung Display also unveiled a 34-inch QHD+ QD display with self-luminous image quality for monitors. The monitor QD display not only offers excellent image quality but also features a fast response time of 0.1ms, delivering clear visuals without tearing or trailing even during rapid screen transitions. Accordingly, it has secured performance that meets the industry's top gaming performance certification, 'G-SYNC ULTIMATE.'

Samsung Display stated, "We expect QD displays to bring new changes to the monitor market as the best gaming displays in every aspect, including color, image quality, and immersion."

Meanwhile, Samsung Display also introduced its proprietary technology representing its OLED panels, the 'Diamond Pixel.' Samsung Display's Diamond Pixel is designed based on the fact that the human retina is most sensitive to green among red, green, and blue, by making the green elements smaller and denser. It was first applied to the Galaxy S4 OLED panel in 2013.

In particular, through a unique diamond-shaped pixel arrangement method with pixels arranged diagonally at a 45-degree angle, it provides high sharpness and visibility. Samsung Display explained that this is excellent for accurately expressing straight lines, diagonals, and sharp, intricate patterns.
