As self-emissive panels replace LCDs in the gaming display market, Samsung Display has rolled out a product lineup that brings together its latest OLED technologies. Samsung Display said it will take part in Computex 2026, held from June 2 to 5 local time at the Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center in Taiwan, and unveiled 16 OLED and QD-OLED products on June 1, ranging from an 8.8-inch panel for portable gaming PCs to a 49-inch panel for monitors.

The exhibition will also reveal the first "ultra-slim" laptop panel. It reduces thickness by more than 20 percent compared with products currently in mass production. The company said it thinned the TFT substrate glass and encapsulation glass by more than 30 percent versus existing designs and addressed panel bending through a proprietary process. Despite the reduced thickness, it maintained black performance and response speed. It can earn up to the top grade, "True Black 1000," under VESA's DisplayHDR certification, and supports refresh rates from 165Hz to 240Hz.

For monitors, it will unveil the world's first QD-OLED that delivers both 4K resolution and a 360Hz refresh rate. The company explained it overcame a structural challenge in which the volume of pixel data processed per second rises sharply by optimizing the panel circuitry and driving system. It also set up a separate exhibition area for its "QD-OLED Penta Tandem" technology, which increases the blue OLED stack structure from 4 to 5. The technology was unveiled earlier this year and is a structural improvement method that raises QD-OLED efficiency, lifespan and brightness.

The booth also features a real gaming environment. Visitors can experience response speed, low-gray expression and color reproduction through a mini game Samsung Display developed in-house using AI. An exhibition space set up in collaboration with global game developers and publishers, including Krafton, Pearl Abyss, EA and Neowiz, was also prepared. Visitors can play Krafton's "PUBG: Battlegrounds" on a 27-inch 500Hz QD-OLED monitor, or compare EA's racing game "F1 25" on a 49-inch QD-OLED monitor against an LCD.

Son Dong-il (손동일), head of the Large Display Business Division and IT Business Team vice president, said, "In the high-end gaming display market, the technology paradigm has already fully shifted from LCDs to self-emissive displays, and the ecosystem is also expanding quickly." He added, "Samsung Display will continue to be the first to introduce technologies that enhance gamers' immersion, and will strive to lead to innovation in experience."
