Samsung Display is accelerating its entry into the next-generation device market by participating in the world’s largest extended reality (XR) exhibition, AWE USA 2026, for the second consecutive year.
At the event held on June 16 at the Long Beach Convention Center in California, Samsung Display showcased its latest RGB OLEDOS technology optimized for XR devices, including mixed reality (MR) headsets and augmented reality (AR) smart glasses.
OLEDOS is a cutting-edge display technology that creates organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) on semiconductor silicon wafers, delivering extremely clear image quality. It is considered a key component for XR devices that require ultra-high resolution, smoothly displaying thousands of pixels per inch (ppi) at close distances to the human eye.
During the exhibition, Samsung Display set up various interactive spaces for attendees to experience the display quality firsthand.
In a dark room named 'Big Dipper,' visitors can admire the Big Dipper constellation on seven display panels. Two of these panels feature ultra-high brightness RGB OLEDOS with a brightness level of 40,000 nits, allowing for vivid colors in the cosmic landscape.
In the 'Connected Vision' area, attendees can preview the convenience of wearing smart glasses. When donning a glasses-like device equipped with a 0.62-inch RGB OLEDOS, users can see virtual information such as translation, navigation, and weather overlaying the backdrop of Long Beach's coastline.
Samsung Display emphasizes its commitment to RGB OLEDOS technology due to its high productivity and exceptional performance. Unlike traditional methods that use color filters over white light, the structure of RGB OLEDOS allows the primary colors to emit light independently, enhancing light efficiency and lifespan. The simpler panel structure also facilitates the creation of small, lightweight devices akin to glasses. Additionally, the manufacturing process is relatively straightforward, offering advantages in mass production and cost competitiveness.
Furthermore, Samsung Display introduced future-oriented displays suitable for the AI era. Attendees can experience a 'stretchable display' that remains flat until needed, as well as 'LFD' (light direction control 3D display) technology that creates a sense of depth without the need for glasses.
The exhibition features a 3D view of a pagoda created using LFD technology, allowing visitors to observe it from multiple angles based on their movements.
A Samsung Display representative stated, "We will focus on developing and securing productivity for ultra-high brightness RGB OLEDOS based on our world-class OLED technology and extensive mass production experience."
