Samsung Display unveils innovative OLED displays ahead of CES 2025
The new QD OLED panel for smart TVs has a peak HDR brightness of 4,000 nits, which is 30% brighter than the previous year’s model. Currently showcased in a 77-inch size, there are plans to offer additional sizes including 55 inches, 65 inches, and 83 inches. The top model differentiates itself as last year’s QD OLED only reached a maximum diagonal of 77 inches.
Samsung also announced that this new technology will extend to monitor sizes of 27-, 31.5-, 34-, and 49 inches, with promises of the highest pixel density of all OLED monitors. The 27- and 31.5-inch models are expected to support full 4K resolution.
In addition to the QD OLED panels, Samsung introduced three slidable OLED display concepts. The “Slidable Flex Solo” can extend from 13.3 inches to 17.3 inches, aimed at flagship tablets like the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra. The “Slidable Flex Duet” is designed for automotive use, expanding from 8.1 inches to 12.4 inches for car dashboards. Meanwhile, the “Slidable Flex Vertical” is a compact panel that starts at 5.1 inches and extends to 6.7 inches when unrolled, potentially revitalizing compact smartphones.

Notably, Samsung has developed an 18.1-inch foldable OLED display that measures 13.1 inches when folded. This display is intended for mobile monitors, tablets, and laptops, serving as a successor to last year’s 17.3-inch folding panel, although no specific commercial product has been confirmed for this new model.
Samsung Display plans to showcase these innovations during CES 2025, demonstrating both their IT device applications and automotive products, including a bendable center information display tailored for passenger cars. The company aims to highlight the unique capabilities of OLED technology at their promotional booth titled “Unleash Your Potential.”
