At the recent CES 2025 exhibition, Samsung Display unleashed a collection of cutting-edge OLED technologies covering digital products and automotive fields, showcasing the wide-ranging applications of future display technologies. The star of the show was none other than the world’s first 18.1-inch folding screen, marking a slew of technological breakthroughs in both IT and automotive display solutions.
At a recent exhibit, Samsung Display flexed its innovation muscles by showcasing a range of cutting-edge OLED products. They’re not just sticking to the script with tablets, laptops, and monitors – oh no. Samsung is steering straight into the automotive market with bespoke OLED displays specifically designed for vehicles. What’s really turning heads, though, are their new design concepts: sliding and multi-folding screens that highlight Samsung's tech dominance in the industry. This move signals a serious game-changer, folks. Get ready to see screens bending over backwards (and forwards) to catch your eye – literally!
In the chic tech scene this year, a standout piece is the 18.1-inch folding display that effortlessly transforms between a tablet, a laptop, and a monitor. When folded, this cool gadget morphs into a compact 13.1-inch touchscreen laptop. It's an epic evolution from the 17.3-inch folding panel launched just last year. The exhibition also showcases other innovative items, such as the Slidable Flex Duet, which can stretch from a cozy 8.1 inches to a more expansive 12.4 inches; the Slidable Flex Solo, which extends from a neat 13 inches up to 17.3 inches; and the hip Slidable Flex Vertical, elongating from a pocket-friendly 5.1 inches to a sizable 6.7 inches.
One of the standout features at the exhibition is the next-gen QD-OLED panels. Leveraging cutting-edge technology and new organic materials, these panels can shine brighter than ever before, hitting peak brightness levels surpassing 4,000 nits—making them the brightest OLED screens available on the market right now. Additionally, Samsung Display also rolled out a range of high pixel-density monitors specifically designed to cater to gamers and professional users, with sizes ranging from 27 inches to a whopping 49 inches.
The exhibition space, themed "QD Jungle," transforms into a veritable forest with its high-brightness QD-OLED panels, crafting an immersive experience like no other. This setup exhibits the remarkable prowess of technology in color reproduction and image detail, making visitors feel as though they've stepped right into the heart of a lush, vibrant wilderness.
In a funky twist, Samsung Display amped up the exhibition vibes with its interactive robot pup, OLEDog. Sporting OLED screen eyes, this little guy showcased actions like snapping and kicking on a flexible panel, demonstrating the durability of OLED screens in the most adorable way.
In the realm of automotive display tech, Samsung Display has unveiled a series of game-changing OLED technologies specifically engineered for vehicles, ramping up both safety and aesthetic appeal. For instance, the Under-Panel Camera (UPC) has seriously leveled up driving safety, while the flexible Central Information Display (CID) can morph its shape according to different driving modes, elevating the overall driving experience and optimizing the use of space.
The cutting-edge Real Black head-up display (HUD) merges OLED technology right into the windshield, showcasing driving data in crisp detail. This integration not only slashes module weight but also perfects the blend with the black aesthetics, significantly boosting design flexibility in cabin interiors.
