Samsung Display Sets a New Brightness Standard for Premium Laptops with VESA DisplayHDR™ True Black 1400 Tandem OLED
• Supports VESA DisplayHDR™ True Black 1400 certification, with a peak brightness requirement 40% higher than the previous top tier and peak brightness of up to 1,600 nits• Tandem architecture and newly developed organic materials deliver enhanced brightness performance; panel to be showcased at K-Display 2026• Lenovo laptop earns VESA DisplayHDR™ True Black 1400 certification; ASUS, Dell Technologies and MSI products expected to follow SEOUL, July 20, 2026 – Samsung Display announced today that it has begun the full-scale supply of tandem OLED panels for laptops that meet VESA DisplayHDR™ True Black 1400, VESA's new certification tier for high-brightness OLED displays. Samsung Display is working with global PC manufacturers to expand the premium laptop OLED market with significantly enhanced brightness performance. Announced by VESA this month, VESA DisplayHDR™ True Black 1400 requires a display to reproduce black levels of 0.0005 nits or lower while achieving peak brightness of 1,400 nits at a 10% On Pixel Ratio, or OPR, which refers to the percentage of active pixels among all pixels that make up the screen. The new tier raises the peak brightness requirement by 40% compared with True Black 1000, previously VESA’s highest certification level. Products certified to True Black 1400 combine OLED’s signature true black performance with enhanced brightness to deliver exceptional viewing quality. Samsung Display’s new tandem OLED panel for laptops can reach peak brightness of up to 1,600 nits at the panel level. This is more than 40% higher than the 1,100-nit peak brightness of conventional OLED panels with a single emissive layer, also known as single-stack OLED, and places it among the brightest commercially available OLED panels for laptops. Samsung Display is supplying tandem OLED panels that support VESA DisplayHDR™ True Black 1400 to multiple global PC manufacturers. The Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i Aura Edition (16
