Samsung Display has unveiled what it claims is the world's first smartphone OLED panel, featuring a 2K resolution and a 165Hz refresh rate. This innovative technology promises to deliver sharper images and smoother motion for high-end mobile gaming. The 6.9-inch panel is set to make its debut on iQOO 16, a premium gaming smartphone from Vivo's iQOO brand, which is slated to launch in September.
According to Samsung Display, the new OLED panel consumes approximately 30% less power than recently released gaming smartphone OLEDs with a 1.5K resolution and a 165Hz refresh rate. The panel can reach a maximum brightness of 2,800 nits in high-brightness mode and can go up to 10,000 nits at a 1% on-pixel ratio. To achieve these high levels of resolution and refresh rate while maintaining brightness and power efficiency, Samsung Display increased the thickness of pixel signal wiring by 10%, expanding the cross-sectional area through which current flows.
