Samsung’s “QuantumView” Validation Proves QD-OLED Displays Are the Best Globally

Samsung has successfully validated the performance of its QD-OLED display lineup through the QuantumView verification program, reinforcing its position as a leader in display technology.

Exceptional Viewing Angle Performance for Samsung’s QD-OLED Displays

Press Release: Today, Samsung Display announced that its QD-OLED panels, intended for both TVs and monitors, have received official verification from UL Solutions, a prominent authority in applied safety sciences, for their outstanding viewing angle performance in compliance with the ‘QuantumView™’ standard.

The ‘QuantumView’ program rigorously assesses luminance and color accuracy as viewing angles change from a frontal position in 10-degree increments up to 60 degrees. Results from this assessment reveal that Samsung’s QD-OLED panels maintain over 60% of their luminance even at a 60-degree angle, while the color shift remains impressively minimal at under 0.012.

In stark contrast, traditional LCD panels often show a luminance drop below 20% at 60 degrees, with color shifts reaching 0.025—nearly double that of QD-OLED displays. This data highlights the superior visual clarity and consistency offered by Samsung’s technology.

A representative from Samsung Display emphasized the importance of viewing angles in consumer TV selection, especially in shared spaces like living rooms, where larger screens are preferred. The surge in dual and triple monitor setups, alongside professional reference displays that cater to team collaborations, is increasing demand for monitors with wide viewing angles, particularly QD-OLED models.

The impressive viewing angle performance of QD-OLED displays stems from Samsung’s proprietary front emission design, which leverages the unique optical properties of quantum dots. While conventional lighting tends to be directional, leading to brightness and color variations based on viewing angle, quantum dots provide an even distribution of light due to their ‘Lambertian-like’ emission characteristics.

In the QD-OLED configuration, quantum dots absorb blue light emitted by OLEDs and re-emit it at longer wavelengths—specifically red and green. This conversion process, facilitated by the minute size of quantum dot particles, not only alters color but also emits light in a three-dimensional pattern, resulting in a Lambertian-like output. Moreover, unlike many other OLED technologies, QD-OLED generates vivid colors directly from the front, ensuring exceptional color fidelity and optical performance.

With its superior color reproduction and wide viewing angle characteristics, Samsung Display is strategically expanding its OLED monitor offerings into business-to-business segments. High-demand Sectors such as video production, graphic design, content creation, and financial trading are increasingly seeking precision displays.

In recent developments, companies like ASUS and Dell Technologies have introduced professional-grade monitors equipped with QD-OLED technology, notably the ProArt and UltraSharp series, which have garnered favorable reviews. Other manufacturers, including Acer, Lenovo, and MSI, are also preparing to launch their own professional monitor lines featuring QD-OLED.
