Samsung Display announced on June 1 that it will participate in Computex 2026, one of the world's largest technology exhibitions, taking place from June 2 to 5 at the Nangang Exhibition Center in Taipei, Taiwan.
At the event, the company will showcase its latest OLED innovations for laptops, including ultra-slim designs optimized for gaming notebooks. Samsung Display will also introduce new QD-OLED gaming monitor panels featuring industry-leading performance, including the world's first 4K 360Hz display.
Visitors will have the opportunity to experience the superior image quality of Samsung OLED and QD-OLED technologies through a variety of gaming demonstrations and side-by-side comparisons.
Among the highlights is Samsung Display's newly unveiled “Ultra Slim” OLED panel. Compared with current mass-produced models, the new panel is more than 20% thinner based on module edge thickness.
To achieve this design, Samsung Display reduced the thickness of both the thin-film transistor (TFT) substrate glass and encapsulation glass by more than 30% through an advanced etching process. The company also developed proprietary manufacturing technologies to address potential panel warping issues that can arise as displays become thinner.
The slimmer panel design provides greater flexibility for device manufacturers while improving portability, a key factor for premium gaming laptops.
Despite its reduced thickness, the Ultra Slim OLED panel maintains core OLED advantages such as true blacks and ultra-fast response times. Laptops equipped with Samsung OLED displays are capable of achieving up to the VESA DisplayHDR True Black 1000 certification, indicating exceptional black-level performance and contrast.
In the gaming monitor segment, Samsung Display will also present a QD-OLED monitor panel that combines 4K resolution with a 360Hz refresh rate, marking the first time such specifications have been achieved simultaneously in a monitor.
Son Dong-il, Executive Vice President and Head of Samsung Display's Large Display Business and IT Business Team, said the premium gaming display market has already undergone a major technological shift.
“The technological paradigm in the high-end gaming display market has fully transitioned from LCD to self-emissive display technologies, and the ecosystem is expanding rapidly,” Son said.
