With QD OLED, Samsung has set a scent mark on the display market – but the technology also has teething problems. But these could soon be a thing of the past.
- Samsung claims to have made a breakthrough in OLED development.
- Improved blue LEDs should make the displays even brighter in the future.
- With the new technology, the biggest problem of the new screens could already be solved.
After six years of abstinence, Samsung made a sensational return to manufacturing its own displays with organic light sources with QD OLED. With the S95B, the first Samsung TV with its own OLED technology has now launched on the German market.
In addition to great praise from experts, the QD OLED technology also had to face harsh criticism – because Samsung’s in-house display innovation revealed an annoying teething problem in specific areas. However, this problem could soon be solved.
Samsung improves QD OLED
According to the Korean specialist medium “The Elec”, Samsung has just made a major breakthrough in its display research: In contrast to conventional OLED displays, a completely luminous blue sub-pixel is intended to make the display units even brighter and more energy-efficient.

If Samsung changed the arrangement of the OLED subpixels in the same step, the much-discussed problem of the QD OLED displays with the green color fringes with hard contrasts could also be solved. You can already expect the first prototypes of the new technology in the current year.
Failed deal with LG narrows focus to QD OLED
After the failed delivery deal with LG, the Samsung TVs originally planned for 2022 with LG OLED displays will not come and Samsung’s focus on the development of QD OLED is thus narrowed further.
Samsung’s top competitor LG, meanwhile, wants to use a different method to make its OLED.ex displays even brighter.
