OLED-on-Silicon will change augmented reality: Samsung has unveiled panels for XR devices with a density of 5,000 ppi and peak brightness of up to 15,000 nits
Samsung has unveiled innovative panels for XR augmented reality devices, created using a new OLEDoS (OLED-on-Silicon) technology.
Here's What We Know
At the Society for Information Display 2025 exhibition, the South Korean giant showed impressive displays with a pixel density of 5,000 ppi, which at a small size is equivalent to the image of 8K TVs.
Key features:
- size: 1.4 inches
- brightness: up to 15,000 nits
- refresh rate: 120 Hz
- colour gamut: 99% DCI-P3
Another interesting display by Samsung was the RGB OLEDoS panel with a resolution of 4200 ppi and a record brightness of 20,000 nits.
Flashback
OLED-on-Silicon technology differs in that organic materials are applied to the silicon surface rather than glass. This allows for a significantly smaller pixel size and high image density, which is especially important for augmented and virtual reality headsets.
It's not yet known when these panels will appear in commercial devices, but they set a new quality standard for XR displays.
In the future, OLEDoS could become a key technology for XR devices, car displays, and medical devices, but for now, the cost of these screens makes it impossible to talk about mass production.
