SDC demonstrates OLED displays for laptops at SID 2016

Samsung demonstrated two OLED displays for laptops at SID 2016. First up was a 13.3" 2560x1440 (221 PPI) panel. This display offers a brightness of 300 nits and is 1.01 mm thick and weighs 120 grams.

It would be nice to see those laptops in the real market, not just being demonstrated or announced to be available “soon”.

You can buy the HP Spectre x360 with OLED now

Good news, thanks Marv. It makes me uneasy though, that the display is described in the specs on the HP’s webpage as a display with OLED backlit. Hopefully that’s just a mistake, and the display is actually OLED-powered and not just an LCD with OLED backlit.

there are ni oled backlit LCD on the market. Why shpuld somebody do that?

Apple has a patent related to using OLED as a backlighting unit for LCD. It’s unlikely that this has something to do with really existing displays, but who knows?
