Samsung Display announced the start in March of the volume production of an OLED panel a 90 Hz intended for notebooks . The new solution from 14 inches , according to Samsung Display CEO Joo Sun Choi, “can best meet the diverse needs of consumers in laptops used in telecommuting, online education, video streaming and games “.
South Korean manufacturer believes new panel will be welcomed by consumers thanks to images with better contrast and color, together with a better response time which should ensure a motion blur comparable to that obtained with an LCD screen at 120 Hz when viewing content at high speed.
Samsung has not provided further technical details (aspec ratio, gamut, etc.) nor indicated any OEM ready to adopt the panel in question. OLED displays are not a total novelty in the laptop industry, but they are certainly not common. Some models offer an OLED panel as an option, but these are 60 Hz solutions. Samsung itself, l ‘last year, it presented a Galaxy Chromebook with an OLED display, while this year it turned to a cheaper QLED.
However, it should not be forgotten that in recent days the Asian company has anticipated the arrival of a future notebook with OLED screen and webcam “under” the display, a novelty able to eliminate as much as possible the frames to the advantage of a larger viewing area and a better design.
