Samsung's QD-OLED TV panel key specifications have been disclosed by SGS (certifying). The new panels are capable of delivering over 1000 nits of peak brightness and displaying over 90% of the BT.2020 color space - both well above the specifications available for OLED panels already on the market.

QD-OLEDs are different from the regular panels LG Display has produced for quite some time. The latter use WRGB OLED - a combination of light from blue and yellow sources is passed through filters to create red, green and blue subpixels, as well as their tints. Newer TVs also use non-filtered white light sources to boost brightness - especially with HDR content.

QD-OLED emits blue light through so-called "quantum dots" that can convert it to red and green without the need for filters. Thanks to this, part of the light is not "lost" in the filters, which makes it possible to increase the brightness of the image and the energy efficiency of displays in comparison with classic OLEDs. In addition, even at peak brightness, distinct color rendition is maintained, while WRGB OLEDs under similar conditions discolor somewhat. In addition, the viewing angles, which are already quite large for OLEDs, are even higher for QD-OLEDs.
