Samsung QD-OLED, First Display to Receive Pantone Certification

QD-OLED, known for its precise color expression, has been recognized for its excellence by Pantone, a global color specialist company that sets worldwide color standards.

Samsung Display announced on the 7th that its 77-inch, 65-inch, and 55-inch QD-OLED panels for TVs have obtained the 'Pantone Color Certification' and 'Pantone SkinTone Certification.' This is the first Pantone certification in the display industry.

Pantone is a global company that provides Pantone color standards used worldwide. It assigns unique codes consisting of letters and numbers to each color, enabling the same color to be represented anywhere in the world and across any medium. Industries requiring precise color differentiation, including product design, video, and gaming content sectors, all refer to Pantone standards.

To receive the 'Pantone Color Certification' obtained by Samsung Display, it must be verified that more than 2,000 specific colors based on the Pantone color standards can be accurately reproduced, meeting or exceeding certain criteria. The 'Pantone SkinTone Certification' is also awarded only when 110 skin tones guided by the Pantone SkinTone Guide are accurately reproduced.

QD-OLED is characterized by embedding quantum dots, which emit different colors depending on particle size, directly into the panel, unlike conventional large OLEDs that use separate color filters to produce colors. Each pixel has high color purity, resulting in less color mixing with surrounding colors. This allows for purer and more accurate color expression, enabling more precise representation of natural colors that were previously difficult to reproduce.
