OLED displays provide better image quality, a low response time, low power consumption and a thinner design. While OLEDs are already very popular in smartphones, wearables, VR headsets and TVs, burn-in challenges and high production costs have resulted in slower adoption in the laptop market.
In 2019 all that changed as Samsung Display started producing 15.6" 4K AMOLED displays for the laptop market, and several leading makers (including HP, Lenovo and Dell) started to offer high-end OLED laptops. Since then SDC added more OLED laptop displays to its lineup, and other OLED producers (such as EDO and BOE) started to offer laptop panels as well.
In 2020 Lenovo became the first company to offer a laptop with a foldable OLED. The ThinkPad X1 Fold features a 13.3" 2048x1536 foldable OLED display that is produced by LG Display. The display takes up the entire interior of this this device, and this is what will likely to be just a first design that may eventually become the future of mobile computing.
