Samsung Display presented new prototypes of screens that could threaten the dominance of OLED in the future. EL-QD technology, also known as NanoLED, is evolving rapidly and according to many experts, it could become the next major 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 innovation is the EL-QD technology, which works completely differently than OLED. Instead of using organic diodes, it uses quantum dots that emit light themselves when electrical energy is applied. This makes it possible to achieve very accurate colors, 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 reaching 400 nits. This is a clear advancement compared to last year, where the brightness was noticeably lower. Although these are still just prototypes, the development of the technology suggests that NanoLED could realistically compete with OLED and QD-OLED in the future, especially if production scale and efficiency can be improved.
New OLEDs and Other Innovations from Samsung
In addition to NanoLED, Samsung also presented new OLED solutions. One of them is the Flex Chroma Pixel panel, which achieves a brightness of up to 3000 nits and a significantly wider color gamut than current smartphone displays. This could translate to better visibility in sunlight and more realistic HDR in future mobile devices.
The company also showcased 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 screens. Such solutions could find application not only in smartphones but also in automotive technology or wearable devices, where flexibility and integration of functions are crucial.
Samsung is developing several breakthrough technologies at the same time, but it is NanoLED that may prove to be the biggest revolution. If it goes into mass production, it could change the display market just as OLED did a few years ago.
