Samsung Display is introducing a new OLED for low-power smartphones.

On the 26th, Samsung Display announced that it has successfully commercialized OLED new organic materials that have significantly improved luminous efficiency compared to the previous work, and developed an OLED for smartphones that can reduce power consumption by more than 16%. This OLED panel was first applied to the’Galaxy S21 Ultra’ recently unveiled by Samsung Electronics.

OLEDs express colors through organic light-emitting materials that emit light by themselves when current flows without a separate light source. Accordingly, the efficiency of organic materials greatly affects the power consumption of the display, the wide color gamut, high brightness, and outdoor visibility.

The organic material newly developed by Samsung Display is characterized by significantly increasing the luminous efficiency by improving the speed of movement of electrons faster and easier in the organic material layer. This means that it can emit brighter light with less energy, and it can help improve the usage time of smartphones in the 5G era where video viewing is increasing.

Samsung Display said, “The display is a key component that has a great influence on the power consumption of the smartphone. We can expect the effect of increasing the usage time of the smartphone by reducing the power consumption of the display.” In order to secure super-divided competitiveness in the technology field, we have been focusing our capabilities on enhancing material technology by closely cooperating with global material companies for the past 10 years and expanding the relevant professional manpower.”

In fact, Samsung Display has applied for more than 370 OLED organic material-related patents annually in Korea, the United States, China, Japan, and Europe for the past three years, and holds 5,000 related patents on a cumulative basis in 2020.

Ji-ho Baek, vice president of small and medium-sized strategic marketing at Samsung Display, said, “As display technologies such as large screens, high-speed driving, and high resolution continue to develop year by year, the demand for low-power technology to effectively implement them is also growing.” Based on the best material technology, we will contribute to improving the performance of new products of our customers.”
