Samsung Display announced new high-efficiency smartphone AMOLED displays

Samsung Display announced that it developed a new AMOLED smartphone display, optimized for 5G smartphones, that features a reduction of 15% in its power consumption compared to SDC's previous OLEDs. The new display also features the lowest blue-light emission in the industry - 6.5%.

Samsung did not explain how it managed to achieve the new reduction in power consumption - this is likely to be the result of new OLED materials. Samsung also does not explain how exactly these new OLEDs are optimized for 5G smartphones exactly - except for saying that these new displays are an excellent choice due to their high image quality, low power consumption and eye-protective functionality (low blue light).

Samsung says that these new OLEDs are certified and validated from UL (Underwriters Laboratories) and Swiss-based SGS (Société Générale de Surveillance) for its low blue-light emission and low power consumption.

I suspect these are good for 5G because the power-saving from the screen is likely to offset the increased power drain from the 5G radio.
