Samsung Display has announced its next-generation EL-QD (Electroluminescent Quantum Dot) display panel. The new panel features significant technical improvements over the prototypes exhibited last year. EL-QD technology allows quantum dots to not only convert color but also produce light directly. This sets it apart from traditional QD-OLED panels.
Samsung announces new EL-QD display technology
One of the two different EL-QD display prototypes exhibited can reach a brightness value of up to 400 nits. The other prototype stands out with its 264 ppi density. In comparison, QD-LED panels exhibited last year had brightness values of 250 nits and 202 ppi, respectively. Samsung’s new panel offers an increase in brightness of approximately 60 percent.
The new EL-QD displays use an inorganic electroluminescence technology developed with cadmium-free quantum dots. Thanks to this structure, each RGB pixel can respond directly to electrical signals and create both light and color. This system also eliminates the need for a backlight or separate light layer, as in traditional OLED or QD-OLED displays.
Another advantage of the technology is that there will be a noticeable increase in color accuracy. The direct light emission of quantum dots allows the panel to offer both more vibrant colors and increased energy efficiency.
EL-QD panels have not yet been put into commercial use. However, this technology is expected to be used in different types of displays in the near future. What do you think about this? You can share your opinions with us in the comments section below.
