Samsung Display has unveiled display technology aimed at the next-generation smart glasses market. Samsung Display said on Tuesday it will take part in AWE USA 2026, billed as the world’s largest exhibition dedicated to extended reality (XR), held in Long Beach, California, and will showcase an RGB OLEDoS lineup for mixed reality (MR) headsets and smart glasses.
RGB OLEDoS is a microdisplay technology that implements OLED on a wafer. Samsung Display unveiled a lineup at the exhibition that includes a 1.3-inch product delivering peak brightness of 40,000 nits. In a darkroom space at the venue called “Big Dipper,” it created the Big Dipper constellation with seven panels, applying the technology to only two of them so visitors can directly check the difference in brightness.
In the smart glasses experience zone, it displayed a prototype equipped with a 0.62-inch RGB OLEDoS. It demonstrates functions such as interpretation and translation, navigation and weather guidance.
Samsung Display also unveiled next-generation display concept products alongside XR devices. They include a stretchable display in which the screen protrudes depending on the usage environment, and a wide-field (LFD) display that creates 3D images without glasses or a headset. Samsung Display said it plans to expand cooperation with global companies in the XR field through the exhibition.
A Samsung Display official said, “RGB OLEDoS consists of a single panel, so compared with other technologies it is less difficult to manufacture and is highly advantageous for securing mass production and cost competitiveness.” The official said, “Based on world-class OLED technology and long experience in mass production, we will continue developing ultra-high-brightness ‘RGB OLEDoS’ while focusing on securing productivity.”
