Samsung Begins Mass Production Of 90Hz OLED Laptop Screens

Samsung announced on Wednesday that it has begun mass-production of laptop-sized 90Hz OLED panels, which will appear in multiple upcoming 14-inch laptops from Asus.

Asus Vice General Manager Y.C. Chen said in a statement that the OLED display laptops can meet consumers needs as the demand for laptops has increased as working from home and remote learning increases

“The demand for laptops is increasing steadily as working from home and remote learning become the new norm,”

“OLED displays can meet consumers’ various needs as they’re using laptops for school, virtual meetings, video streaming, gaming, and more.”

In a statement, Samsung Display said, “The 90Hz OLED panel offers more options for consumers who are looking to enjoy high-performance content on their laptops. With our innovative OLEDs, we’re further pioneering and leading the market in display technologies that offer superior image quality.”

Samsung stated back in January that it would soon begin mass-producing OLED panels though it did not specify a list of partners. “OLED panels can best satisfy the diverse consumer needs for laptops used in telework, online education, video streaming, and gaming.”

The new 90Hz panels are expected to appear on an upcoming 14-inch Zenbook (presumably the Asus Zenbook 14X) and 14-inch Vivobook Pro, says Samsung.

Asus Zenbook 14X announced on September 2 is expected to be available with either a 4K OLED HDR display or a 2.8K OLED 90HZ display, with models starting at $1,399.99. (That’s a jump from Asus’s most recent ultraportable OLED Zenbook, the Zenbook 13, which has an FHD OLED screen and starts at $799.99.)
