This increase reduced electrical resistance, allowing each pixel to power up faster.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">Other breakthroughs include a new 22nm-manufactured display driver integrated circuit, which is more sophisticated than the previous 28nm version. The change improved power-consumption efficiency by 30%.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">The light-emitting diodes use newer organic materials and Samsung\u2019s polariser-free technology, along with three years of AI training to maintain brightness and colour uniformity. The result also gives the panel extra perks, including a peak brightness of 2,800 nits and 1% coverage of up to 10,000 nits.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">The first smartphone to feature Samsung Display\u2019s new panel is the iQOO 16, a premium phone gaming sub-brand of Vivo. The phone itself has yet to hit retail, as it\u2019s slated for a 29 September 2026 launch in Mainland China.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">\u00a0Sources: The Korea Herald, The Korea Times, iQOO (community)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<center><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hardwarezone.com.sg\/mobile\/smartphones\/samsung-display-iqoo-16-oled-2k-resolution-165hz-refresh-rate-breakthrough\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><br \/>\n<center\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Samsung Display, the OLED R&amp;D and manufacturing arm of the Korean chaebol, has developed a method to mass-manufacture\u00a0OLED\u00a0panels for phones that can reach 2K resolution&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":85576,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[1040,7776,1053,30131,1052,723,6913],"class_list":["post-85575","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tech-gadgets-reviews","tag-appearance","tag-breakthrough","tag-display","tag-iqoo","tag-oled","tag-phone","tag-samsungs","wpcat-32-id"],"brizy_media":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/85575","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=85575"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/85575\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/85576"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=85575"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=85575"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=85575"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
