Samsung Display demonstrates a 40,000 direct-emission OLED microdisplay

Samsung Display is showing its latest OLED microdisplays at AWE USA 2026, including a 40,000 nits 1.3" direct-emission OLED microdisplay, that the company refers to as RGB OLEDoS. This it the brightest OLED microdisplay demonstrated by SDC to date, and one of the brightest OLEDs ever developed (second only to INT Tech's displays).

SDC's previous highest-brightness OLED microdisplay prototype achieved 20,000 nits back in May 2025, so it is great to see the company doubling the brightness in one year. We do not know how close Samsung is to actually producing such high-brightness OLED microdisplays, but just yesterday we reported that the company is planning to build an RGB OLEDoS production line, that should achieve mass production in 2028.

 

At AWE 2026, the company is also showing prototype AR smart glasses that utilize smaller 0.62" direct-emission OLEDs.
