Samsung Display has presented new prototypes of screens that may threaten the dominance of OLED in the future. The EL-QD technology, also known as NanoLED, is developing rapidly and according to many experts, it could become the next significant step in the evolution of displays. The company showcased its achievements during the SID Display Week 2026, where several new solutions were presented from experimental panels to enhanced OLEDs.
NanoLED (EL-QD) - new generation of displays
The most important novelty is the EL-QD technology, which works entirely differently from OLED. Instead of using organic diodes, it employs quantum dots that emit light on their own when supplied with electrical energy. This allows for very accurate colours, high energy efficiency, and potentially lower production costs in the future. Samsung showcased two prototypes: an 18-inch panel with a brightness of 500 nits and a smaller 6.5-inch screen achieving 400 nits. This represents a significant improvement compared to last year, where the brightness was noticeably lower. While these are still just prototypes, the development of the technology suggests that NanoLED could realistically compete with OLED and QD-OLED in the future, particularly if production scale and efficiency can be improved.
New OLEDs and Other Innovations from Samsung
In addition to NanoLED, Samsung also showcased new OLED solutions. One of them is the Flex Chroma Pixel panel, which achieves brightness up to 3000 nits and a significantly wider colour gamut than current smartphone displays. This could translate into better visibility in sunlight and more realistic HDR in future mobile devices.
The company also demonstrated an OLED screen with built-in health sensors, capable of measuring heart rate and blood pressure, as well as the developing technology of stretchable micro-LED displays. Such solutions could find applications not only in smartphones but also in automotive and wearable devices, where flexibility and integration of functions are key.
Samsung is developing several groundbreaking technologies simultaneously, but it is NanoLED that may turn out to be the biggest revolution. If it enters mass production, it could change the display market in the same way that OLED did a few years ago.
