Samsung Unveils the First-Ever QD-LED Display in the World

Samsung Display, the leading producer of OLED screens globally, introduced several innovative display technologies at the SID 2024 event. These advancements encompass the debut of the world’s first QD-LED panel, a glasses-free 3D OLED panel, an OLEDoS display designed for XR headsets, and Ultra-Thin OLED panels.

The QD-LED panel from Samsung is notable for its immunity to burn-in, a common issue with traditional OLED panels.

At the SID 2024 exhibition, the South Korean company presented the world’s inaugural QD-LED panel. This technology differs significantly from the previously known QD-OLED panels, which Samsung Display has recently showcased.

Unlike QD-OLED, which contains organic materials prone to burn-in, QD-LED panels do not include these materials. Instead, they utilize pixels constructed from semiconductor materials capable of generating RGB colors and backlight. This design theoretically combines the benefits of OLED and Micro LED panels without the long-term vulnerability associated with organic materials.

Samsung Display claims that QD-LED panels can precisely render a broad spectrum of colors. Additionally, the panels’ stable material properties facilitate their production through inkjet printing, making the manufacturing process more straightforward. At the event, Samsung exhibited a monitor featuring an 18.2-inch QD-LED panel with a resolution of 3,200 x 1,800 pixels, a pixel density of 202ppi, and a brightness level of 250 nits.

The QD-LED panels employ cadmium-free quantum dots, which are environmentally friendly. This technology has been recognized with the Best Paper Of The Year award by SID.
