Samsung Display is looking for manufacturers who may be interested in its 15.6-inch OLED 15.6-inch laptop displays, reports Digitimes, citing sources from a Taiwanese supplier. The South Korean group would test the ground on the side of HP, Dell and Lenovo, we learn in the report. Samsung's goal is to equip one million laptops with screens in 2019.
Samsung wants to democratize 15.6-inch OLED 4K screens for laptops
This is not unattainable according to the publication, which says that the price of these slabs has recently been reduced. They now represent an additional cost of 50 to 60 dollars per unit compared to more conventional LCD screens. A difference more acceptable to manufacturers. Samsung's technology promises a low light blue, a wide viewing angle and fit into a very thin chassis.
Samsung Display unveiled its 15.6 "OLED 4K display in January 2019, on the sidelines of CES in Las Vegas. This type of product is still unusual and the company intends to change the game and democratize this technology for PCs. With a luminance range of 0.0005 to 600 nits and a dynamic contrast ratio of 120000: 1, the blacks in this slab are 200 times deeper than on a standard LCD. There is also a gamut of 3.4 million colors.
Production has already started, with some failures however, which could result in some delays. Digitimes evokes a distortion of the screen during assembly and integration problems of the panel in the chassis of laptops. Samsung has no interest in dragging its feet too far, because the competition is there: the Chinese company Everdisplay Technology is also working on 4K OLED screens for the notebook market.
