This year, Samsung Display brought several OLED displays of different sizes to MWC 2025, which are aimed at different areas of application. The manufacturer presented a QD-OLED monitor with a refresh rate of 500 Hz, an OLED panel for laptops with a refresh rate of 240 Hz, and other new products. The vendor also showed a prototype of a three-fold foldable smartphone and a prototype of a portable gaming console with a flexible display.
The biggest buzz was about the “world’s first 27-inch QD-OLED monitor with a 500Hz refresh rate.” This device promises gamers super-fast refresh rates, ultra-high responsiveness, and rich colors in games. Rumors of the upcoming launch of such a monitor appeared in Korean media as early as November last year. Perhaps the demonstration of this device at MWC will bring it closer to the market.
The company has organized a Seamless Color Studio exposition, where visitors can appreciate the exceptional quality of OLED displays on devices of different form factors. It also showcases an OLED panel with Samsung’s proprietary On-Cell Film (OCF) technology, which eliminates optical filters that increase contrast but significantly reduce panel brightness.
By removing the optical filter, Samsung has achieved a significant increase in brightness and energy efficiency. As a result, the brightness of the OLED panel reaches an ultra-high 5,000 cd/m², which is approximately 1.5 times higher than that of standard OLED panels.
