If you were running a company that makes displays, how would you prove how good they really are? You could talk specs all day, but Samsung took a simpler route: show, not tell. Instead of slides and slogans, it built a whole lineup of gadgets around its next-generation OLED panels, letting people see for themselves how OLED can shape AI-driven lifestyles across all kinds of uses.
Samsung Display went all in by turning OLED into the star of a very busy show. Instead of boring charts, it rolled out robots, cars, speakers, refrigerators, basketballs, and even watch-sized screens that look like they escaped from the future.
AI Robots and Speakers With OLED Faces
First up is the “AI OLED Bot,” a small robot with a 13.4-inch OLED as its face. In the demo, it acts like a campus assistant, guiding students, showing schedules, and flashing info where voice commands would fail. OLED makes this possible in curved, round, or spherical shapes, so the robot looks friendly instead of like a toaster with legs.
Then there are speaker concepts that finally admit speakers can be ugly. The AI OLED Mood Lamp uses a 13.4-inch round OLED to match visuals and lighting to music. There is also the AI OLED Cassette with a 1.5-inch round OLED and the AI OLED Turntable with a 13.4-inch round OLED, mixing retro looks with modern screens.
OLED at Work, Home, and Everywhere
Samsung showed over 300 laptops, tablets, and monitors already using its OLED and QD-OLED panels. One highlight is UT One OLED, which is 30 percent thinner and 30 percent lighter than a normal dual-glass OLED, with refresh rates from 1 Hz to 120 Hz. It covers 100 percent of DCI-P3 and Adobe RGB, which means colors behave as they should.
For home use, QD-OLED monitors can act as clocks or art frames with Always-On-Display, then switch to AI dashboards showing health data or schedules. Samsung also previewed a 2026 QD-OLED TV with peak brightness of 4,500 nits, using optimized organic materials for brighter, more vivid color.
OLED in Cars
Samsung’s digital cockpit demo looks like a sci-fi dashboard. There is an 18.1-inch Flexible L Center Information Display, a 13.8-inch Passenger Information Display that hides when not needed, a curved cluster with 500R curvature, and a 30-inch rear seat display with a 32:9 aspect ratio.
The wild card is the OLED tail lamp. It combines a 34-inch-wide display with an 8-inch display and can show warnings like “Accident Ahead” to cars behind you.
Basketballs, Freezers, and Tiny Screens
To prove toughness, a robot shoots basketballs at 18 foldable OLED panels. Steel balls drop from 30 centimeters onto foldable displays, which keep working. Automotive OLEDs also run inside a freezer at -20°C with a 0.2 millisecond response time.
Then there is RGB OLEDoS, a 1.4-inch display with 5,000 PPI and nearly three times the pixels of a 4K TV. It is made for XR headsets and looks sharper than most people’s eyesight.
Pricing and Availability
Well, about that. Most, if not all, of these are just concepts, so there is no pricing, no release date, and no promise they will ever become real products.
