CES 2024 Samsung launches: World's first transparent MicroLED display! 1.03-inch RGB silicon-based OLED

 January 8 news, Samsung display at CES for the first time launched RGB Olledos. The pixel density is 3500PPI. RGB Olledos from U.S. company Imagine, which was acquired by Samsung Display last year, will also be on display.

samsung Display will showcase Red (R) green (G) blue (B) OLEDoS (OLED on Silicon) and foldable Organic light-emitting Diode (OLED) for Extended Reality (XR) devices at CES, which will be held in the U.S. from September 9 to 20. IT announced on December 7 that it will launch new products such as OLED and large quantum dot (QD) -OLED displays for IT products. RGB Olledos are Olledos that implement light and color in RGB subpixels. The Vision Pro, a mixed reality (MR) device that Apple plans to release early this year, features WOLED+CF OLEDOS, which applies RGB color filters (CF) to white (W) -OLED. WOLED+CF When white light from WOLED passes through an RGB color filter, Oledos produces color. The RGB Olledos introduced by Samsung Display at CES measures 1.03 inches and is the size of a 500 won coin. The pixel density is 3,500 PPI (pixels per inch), which supports resolutions similar to 4K TVS. Military helmets and night-vision goggles using Imagine (eMagin) Oledos (Oledos, an American company acquired by Samsung Display last year) will also be on display. At CES 2024 today, Samsung also showed off the world's first transparent

MicroLED screen.

Samsung has not said how much the technology will cost or when it will be available for retail devices. According to foreign media Engadget reports, Samsung showed three different transparency of the MicroLED display, two of which use colored glass, the other uses transparent glass, with a borderless design. In addition, the thickness of these screens is only about 1cm, and Samsung has placed a newspaper behind the fully transparent one, so that visitors can experience how "transparent" it is, and because the micro LED has a very high pixel density, the image displayed on it is quite clear.

 Samsung officials said that because the transparent MicroLED display has a higher brightness than the transparent OLED screen, it is also less affected by ambient light.

The flip-in foldable OLED will also make its debut at CES. Samsung Display said, " In & Out Flip uses the In & Out Foldable technology, which can fold 360 degrees inside and outside, and can be used on the front and back of the screen when folded out."And even thinner designs are possible."He added:" The existing internal folded shape requires another panel outside to check the information in the folded state.”

It also shows the "Rollable Flex" which expands up to five times, the "Flex Hybrid" which combines both foldable and sliding technologies, and a wireless headphone case with a display.

Samsung's automotive OLED "Flex Note Extendable" can expand the screen by sliding after expanding the foldable panel.

The "Flex Note Extendable" is an onboard OLED. After expanding the folding panel, you can expand the screen by sliding. At 11 inches when fully folded. On one side, it expands to 13.8 inches (10:9 screen scale), and to 17.3 inches (4:3 screen scale) when the other side is pulled out. You can use it as a laptop in your car or drive it as far to see a movie. In addition, a 12.4-inch curling display hidden up and down from the passenger seat headrest will be unveiled.

Samsung Display will install the 8.6th generation (2290x2620mm) OLED glass substrate bench at the booth. The 8.6 generation glass substrate ledger is more than twice the width of the existing 6 generation ledger.

Samsung Display says "ultra-thin (UT) OLED panels are about 0.6 mm thick, similar to a business card and about a third of the same size LCD display (LCD) panels," adding, " The three UT OLED panels have the same weight."It's light enough to match the weight of an LCD panel," he explained. He continued, "By adopting new module construction methods, reducing thickness while maintaining strength," adding, " This will help laptop and tablet makers improve portability and differentiate design.”

"In developing a new thin-film transistor (TFT) to control the current, we applied only 100% oxide. Oxides move electrons about 10 times faster than amorphous silicon (A-Si), and have a low leakage current."It's very small," he said. He added: " If the leakage current is reduced, you can solve the flashing and slightly trembling screen when driving the display with low refresh rate, thus further reducing power consumption with low refresh rate.”。He continued: " This product is the first IT panel to support a variable refresh rate as low as 1Hz.”

A large number of subpoints (QD) -OLED will feature a 31.5-inch UHD (3840x2160) QD-OLED display and a 27-inch 360Hz OLED display. The 31.5-inch UHD QD-OLED has a pixel density of 140PPI. Samsung Display explains that "this is equivalent to the picture quality definition of a 65-inch 8K TV," with "a refresh rate of up to 240Hz."

With the motto "Better performance, higher professionalism," Samsung Display creates an exhibition space for the display for video production or medical purposes. The goal is to expand applications following gaming and entertainment into specialties such as the video and healthcare industries.

QD-OLED will also be unveiled. Samsung Display said, " The third generation QD-OLED combines advanced panel drive technology and artificial intelligence (AI) technology with a maximum brightness of more than 3,000 nits, making it the brightest of existing OLED TV panels and about 50 percent higher than traditional TV panels."It's up by% from the previous year," he explained.
