On March 31, Samsung Semiconductor and Display officially announced that Samsung has launched a large-size OLED screen that can be used for IT products, with a variety of different sizes such as 13.3", 13.5", 14", 14.5", 15.6", 16". Moreover, these OLED screens have obtained the TUV non-strobe certification of Germany, and the official certification is "eye protection display".
Friends who know the display may have heard of strobe, which refers to the phenomenon that the tv, display screen, and mobile phone screen are slightly shaken due to unstable brightness. Although the strobe is not obvious, it will not affect the picture display effect too much, and it is difficult for the human eye to identify. However, if you watch the screen with strobes for a long time, you will still feel uncomfortable with your eyes, and the serious points will even cause headaches, vision loss and other problems.
Therefore, many monitors and mobile phone screens have successively introduced technologies such as DC dimming, the purpose of which is to reduce the strobe of the screen at low brightness and reduce the damage to eye vision. Because the LCD screen has a backlight layer, DC dimming can be easily realized. The OLED screen does not have a backlight layer, each pixel is individually controlled, and the cost of global DC dimming is relatively high, so some manufacturers use PWM dimming with a second-class effect.

Previously, the notebooks on the market basically used LCD screen panels, so everyone did not pay too much attention to the problem of strobe and dimming. However, many of the newly listed notebook products this year have successively used OLED panels, such as as the Asus Peerless Series and Lenovo ThinkBook. The advantages of OLED are clear to everyone, the colors are more vivid, the contrast is higher, and it can present a clearer and more realistic picture quality effect. In the dark mode scene, it also has a better power saving effect, which can extend the battery life of the notebook.
OLED notebooks have begun to appear on the market, and everyone is naturally more willing to these new products with stronger performance, which will drive the entire notebook industry to develop in the direction of OLED screens. It is reported that Apple is also preparing to use OLED screens on iPads and MacBooks, which in addition to bringing better display effects, the cost is also cheaper than the current use of Mini LEDs.
It can be seen that OLED into notebooks, tablets has become a trend, the future will be more and more large-screen devices to use OLED screen. As the world's largest SUPPLIER OF OLED panels, Samsung launched a large-size OLED screen at this time and successfully obtained the certification of the strobe-free eye protection screen, which is also preparing for the follow-up. However, the performance of domestic OLED screens will not be bad, and domestic OLED screens will certainly bloom in the notebook market in the future.
