Samsung’s New Five‑Layer OLED Tech

Samsung Display has introduced a new brand called “QD‑OLED Penta‑Tandem.”
The name means “five layers” in Greek, referencing the additional layer added to its OLED panels.

Why a Fifth Layer Matters

• Brighter Screens – Samsung claims brightness can rise by up to 1.3 × compared to the four‑layer version.
• Longer Lifespan – Lifespan can double, thanks to the extra layer.
• Sharper Image – Helps maintain clarity when many pixels are packed into a small space.

Key Performance Highlights

• 27‑inch UHD Monitor – 160 ppi, currently the best self‑emissive gaming monitor on the market.
• HDR Compliance – Meets VESA DisplayHDR True Black 500, enabling deep blacks while hitting high brightness levels.

Future Rollout

Samsung plans to deploy this technology across all sizes next year, including a 49‑inch Dual QHD model. Major customers already use it in high‑end TVs and monitors.
