Samsung Display’s new QD-OLED panel can hit 1,000 nits brightness for improved HDR

The key specifications for the new QD-OLED TVs have been revealed by a third-party certification company. The new panels are capable of hitting a brightness of 1,000 nits, and can display over 90 percent of the color space, which are both significant improvements over the current TVs on the market.

The figures are in line with those that were put out by the channel, which was sponsored by the company. It is noteworthy that these relatively impressive specifications have now been verified by an independent certification company.

QD-OLED screens produce an image in a different way than traditional OLED panels. The blue and yellow compound used in the displays creates white-ish light that is passed through the color filters to produce red, green, and blue sub-pixels. The fourth white sub-pixel is meant to enhance brightness.

QD-OLED emits blue light through quantum dots and converts it into red and green without the need for a color filter. Blue has the strongest light energy. Since you don't lose light to the color filters, QD-OLED TVs should offer better light energy efficiency.

They should be able to maintain accurate, vivid quantum dot color reproduction even at peak brightness levels. The QD-OLED is said to be even better at extreme angles since there is more diffusion happening without the color filter in the way.

The hope is that the QD-OLED panels will exhibit a longer life span than the existing TVs since the pixels aren't working as hard. Three layers of blue material could help to preserve longevity, and that is what the display is made of.

The QD-OLED has a different set of specifications than the G1 OLED, which was its flagship from last year. The QD-OLED hit almost 200 nits in fullscreen brightness, rising to 1000 nits over a 10 percent patch, and 1500 nits over a 3 percent portion of the screen. Rtings review of the G1 has it hitting a maximum peak of 167 nits in fullscreen brightness, 825 nits on a 10 percent window, and 856 on a 2 percent window.

The new QD-OLED panels have a wide color gamut. According to Rtings, the G1 can only display around three quarters of the BT.2020 space, and around 100 percent.

The new panel appears to achieve this without sacrificing the benefits of the existing displays. Excellent viewing angles and pure blacks are what these include. The viewing angles of the QD-OLEDs are even better than the conventional ones, with 80 percent of the light hitting the screen when viewed from a 60-degree angle.

This is because all of these comparisons were made with the flagship of the company, which is due to be superseded this year. The new generation of panels from the company, called the "OLED EX," offer increased brightness levels of up to 30 percent. It is not known if that is enough to remain competitive with the new panels from SAMSUNG.

We will have to wait for consumer TVs to actually make it to market using both panels before we can be completely sure of these readings, but it looks like an impressive set of results for the latest technology. It won't just be the TVs that benefit from the panels produced by the display arm.

The question remains when, exactly, the new panels will be on sale. The first QD-OLED TV to be announced was from Sony, and it will use a QD-OLED panel. Alienware is working on a QD-OLED computer monitor. It is not known when a QD-OLED TV will be released by the company.
