Samsung starts producing 90Hz OLED panels for future laptops
On September 16, Samsung revealed that it has started mass production of 90Hz OLED displays for laptops and they will debut alongside the 14-inch laptops from various OEMs including ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo and Samsung.
Nowadays, non-flagship smartphones also featuring high refresh rate displays and they will also be implemented in the laptop department. When it comes to higher display refresh rates in laptops, consumers think only one thing – Gaming Laptop, while this thinking would be changed soon.
As Samsung is going to manufacture 90Hz OLED panels for laptops, the animations will be smoother, providing an enhanced user experience. Even, Samsung Display also said that OLED panels respond faster than LCD, so a 90Hz OLED screen has blur length of 0.9mm, while a 120Hz LCD is still 1.0mm during video playback.
ASUS’s PC BU Product Marketing Center Vice General Manager Y. C. Chen said that “The demand for laptops is increasing steadily as working from home and remote learning become the new norm. OLED displays can meet consumers’ various needs as they’re using laptops for school, virtual meetings, video streaming, gaming, and more.”
