Samsung disclosed more info on their new QD Quantum Dot, according to a press release. When compared to OLED, this next generation should allow for more precise control of light intensity at the pixel level. As a result, QD panels must also be capable of delivering a contrast ratio of one million to one.

Samsung does not have the patent to fabricate OLED display, which is a big deal for them. Ergo QD screens. Consider a QD screen with 4k resolution (3,840 x 2,160 pixels), which has a small 8.3 million individually programmable blue light sources and a small 8.3 million individually controllable red light sources. The QD layer is capable of converting blue light into red and green light, allowing for the display of the three primary colors: red, green, and blue. In addition, QD displays must be capable of displaying colors that are up to 80% of the BT.2020 color space.

Samsung promises a wide viewing angle, rapid response times, low reflections, deep black levels, and a high maximum brightness on its displays. The Samsung Display specifies a brightness range of 0.0005 nits to 1,000 nits. As an added bonus, according to the manufacturer, it can significantly lessen the appearance of potentially dangerous blue light in the range of 415 to 455 nm. It is yet unclear whether Samsung Display would employ the QD technology only for televisions from other manufacturers or whether the technology will be used in Samsung devices as well.
