Engineers from Samsung Display are using testing devices to inspect frequency changes in display panels that feature adaptive frequency technology.<\/p><\/div>\n

The display company has now successfully commercialized its low-power OLED adaptive frequency technology, which can curtail the operating power of a phone\u2019s display by as much as 22 percent over existing smartphones now in general use.<\/p>\n

\u201cHigh-definition video streaming and gaming are expanding their capabilities in line with 5G commercialization, creating a widespread need for display panel technologies that can enable greater power savings,\u201d said Ho-Jung Lee, Vice President of the mobile display product planning team for Samsung Display.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cOur Adaptive Frequency display technology is expected to considerably enhance the user experience by calibrating refresh rates in line with the requirements of a specific application and therein more precisely allocating available power. This will free up time for other smartphone operations,\u201d Lee added.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The company\u2019s power-saving technology allows the display panel to utilize variable refresh rates that consume the least possible amount of power for each type of application. The adaptive frequency technology supports a 120Hz scan rate for playing mobile games that require speedy frame changes, a 60Hz rate for movie streaming, a 30Hz rate for email correspondence, and a 10Hz rate for viewing still images or browsing social networking services.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Existing smartphone panels offer only a fixed refresh rate. They cannot automatically calibrate a phone\u2019s refresh rate, which would result in image flickering caused by luminance differences at lower refresh rates. Samsung Display\u2019s new backplane** technology eliminates flickering for operating frequencies as low as 10Hz.<\/p>\n

In particular, when displaying still images, the new variable-rate panel has proven to save 60 percent of operating power by introducing a low-frequency refresh rate of 10Hz, while conventional panels unnecessarily waste power through the use of a consistent, fixed frequency regardless of the type of content.<\/p>\n

The world-leading display company also anticipates employing this cutting-edge, power-saving technology with other advanced IT products in the future, to help boost material efficiency and optimize the functionality of operating components.<\/p>\n

* Refresh (or Scan) Rate: The number of frames that a display panel delivers in one second. For example, a 120Hz refresh rate accounts for 120 frame changes. Higher scan rates result in more lively and natural-appearing images.<\/h6>\n
** Backplane Technology: Making substrates such as glass and polyimide (PI) that are comprised of thin-film transistors (TFTs) required to operate pixels, the minimum unit comprising most display panels.<\/h6>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
