Samsung Display Unveils New Bidirectional Screen Expansion Product at SID 2022

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Sun-mi] Samsung Display will participate in SID (Society for Information Display) Display Week 2022 held from the 10th to the 12th (local time) in California, USA, showcasing a large number of new products including a bidirectional slidable display and a digital cockpit (digitalized car cockpit) realized with OLED.

On the 10th, Samsung Display announced that at this SID 2022 exhibition, it will unveil new concept bidirectional slidable displays, digital cockpits realized with OLED, foldable displays for gaming, and the new QD display products that have recently attracted attention in the market for their outstanding image quality.

In particular, the 6.7-inch slidable product making its debut this time expands the screen upward, unlike existing products that expand horizontally, and is a concept optimized for document work or web surfing. The 12.4-inch slidable product, also unveiled for the first time this year, is a type that expands the screen bidirectionally horizontally. This product can be made compact at 8.1 inches for enhanced portability or expanded to 12.4 inches to enjoy videos or multitasking.

The foldable product for gaming is also one of the highlights at this exhibition. Introduced for the first time at 'SID 2022' this year, this product has controllers on both sides but can be folded in half, allowing users to use a large screen during gaming and maximize portability by folding it to smartphone size when not in use. Additionally, when used vertically, the top displays the game screen while the bottom functions as a controller, enabling various gaming environments.

Samsung Display will also publicly showcase digital cockpit products targeting the automotive market. The digital cockpit products exhibited in the OLED Auto Zone, which realistically models the interior of a vehicle, provide accurate driving information with a screen free of afterimages and are multi-screen products utilizing rigid OLEDs of different sizes such as 7 inches, 12.3 inches, and 15.7 inches.

Samsung Display’s QD display, which began mass production at the end of last year and has started full-scale supply to global customers, will also be revealed to the general public at this exhibition. The QD display is the world’s first self-luminous display with embedded quantum dots and no backlight. Samsung Display will showcase three types of products including 55- and 65-inch TV panels and a 34-inch monitor panel.

A Samsung Display official said, "As this is the first offline event in three years, industry professionals, media, and consumers are showing greater interest than ever before," adding, "Through Samsung Display’s innovative products showcased at this exhibition, visitors will be able to confirm the possibilities and vision of the future display industry."
