Samsung Display on Tuesday unveiled its next-generation OLED technology for the first time at Asia’s largest computing trade show, highlighting that the new technology reduces panels’ power consumption, weight and thickness by 30 percent each.

Samsung Display said it opened a booth at COMPUTEX 2025 for the first time, presenting a portfolio of OLED panels for laptops, tablet PCs and monitors. The 2025 edition of the four-day trade show officially kicked off Tuesday at the Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center in Taiwan.

The biggest draw at Samsung Display’s exhibition is its Ultra Thin One (UT One) technology. Making its debut at the trade show, the next-generation low-power OLED technology features an ultra-thin structure and supports a variable refresh rate from 120 hertz to 1 hertz.

Unlike conventional OLED displays that use two glass substrates, panels with this technology replace the top glass with an ultra-thin film layered over the bottom substrate, making the displays 30 percent thinner and 30 percent lighter.

The weight reduction achieved by applying UT One is roughly equivalent to that of a single laptop battery cell, potentially enabling either a larger battery capacity or enhanced portability.

The variable refresh rate technology enables more efficient power distribution. Samsung Display said this saves energy and frees up additional power for artificial intelligence tasks, ultimately improving battery life and enhancing user experience.

Samsung Display is now establishing related processes at a manufacturing line in Asan, South Chungcheong Province, under the goal of mass-producing UT One-applied products next year.

“The IT market is rapidly shifting from LCD to OLED, and the transformation is clearly visible at COMPUTEX 2025,” a Samsung Display official said.

“Samsung Display will lead this market shift by proactively responding to customers’ demands with our IT solutions, including OLED, quantum dot OLED and other various formats such as flexible and foldable displays.”
