President Choi delivered a lecture titled "Samsung Display, a Journey Beyond Imagination," presenting the display industry and the company's vision. He shared the process of establishing Samsung Display as a global leader in the OLED market and expressed his hope that students would join this journey by sharing his future dreams.

At the event, President Choi emphasized the great growth potential of the display industry. He also advised, "The experience as a display engineer who combines and optimizes heterogeneous technologies such as materials, machinery, and optics can serve as a foundation for growing into an insightful industry expert."

He also highlighted the company's future vision summarized as 'I AM Fine Q!'. Samsung Display plans to actively target the premium market by enhancing technological leadership in future high-growth markets such as laptops, tablets (IT), automotive, micro displays, and foldables, while leveraging the overwhelming image quality of QD-OLED as a competitive edge in large display businesses such as monitors and TVs.

President Choi said, "We coined Samsung Display's motto as 'Our beautiful and thrilling future,'" adding, "That future is becoming a reality." He further stated, "I hope the beautiful and thrilling future in the hearts of students will also be nurtured into reality together with Samsung Display."

Meanwhile, prior to this special lecture, Samsung Display held the 3rd term agreement ceremony for the 'Samsung Display-KAIST Display Research Center' at the KAIST main building. The ceremony was attended by President Choi, Lee Chang-hee, Vice President and Head of Samsung Display Research Institute, Lee Kwang-hyung, KAIST President, and Lee Sang-yeop, KAIST Vice President for Research, among others.

The Samsung Display-KAIST Display Research Center was established in 2014 as a research institution to secure core next-generation display technologies and to nurture display experts. This year marks its third term. According to the agreement, Samsung Display and the research center will conduct industry-academia joint research for the next five years to prepare for future displays. They will also actively cooperate in nurturing next-generation global talent.

President Choi said, "Over the past decade, we have achieved many research results through cooperation with KAIST, and the talents nurtured during this process are still playing pivotal roles in the company," adding, "I am pleased to have another opportunity to prepare for and lead the future together through this industry-academia agreement."

Samsung Display is actively recruiting talent recently to strengthen future competitiveness and technological leadership. In this process, they operate the recruitment-linked talent development program called 'Display Track.' This program runs display education courses by university, selects outstanding talents, provides scholarships, and guarantees employment after graduation. Since its introduction in 2019, the program has expanded to a total of eight universities.
