Samsung Electronics today announced the latest Onyx (ICD model) cinema LED screen at CinemaCon 2025, marking a new era for cinema display technology. Building on its legacy as a cinema LED pioneer, which began in 2017, Samsung is setting new standards with unmatched picture quality, industry-leading reliability and expanded screen scalability to meet the evolving needs of theaters worldwide. “The cinema industry is shifting its focus towards delivering a more immersive and visually captivating experience,” said Hoon Chung, Executive Vice President of Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. “With Onyx, Samsung delivers not only the highest-quality visuals but also the flexibility that allows theaters to redefine the movie-going experience and cater to evolving audience expectations.” Brighter, Bolder and More Immersive: The Future of Cinema Is Here As the world’s first DCI-certified1 cinema LED display, Samsung Onyx delivers an unparalleled cinematic experience with true black levels, infinite contrast ratio and exceptional color accuracy. The screen is capable of supporting frame rates up to 4K 120Hz,2 delivering ultra-smooth motion and razor-sharp details. Every auditorium has unique dimensions, and screen size requirements vary from theater to theater. To accommodate this, Onyx offers four standard sizes3 and additional flexible scaling options, allowing theaters to maximize their available space and present films in the largest possible format without compromising image quality: 5 meters (16ft) — Ideal for boutique and smaller-format theaters (Pixel pitch: 1.25mm) 10 meters (33ft) — The industry standard for premium cinemas (Pixel pitch: 2.5mm) 14 meters (46ft) — A versatile format that delivers an impressive, large-scale cinematic experience (Pixel pitch: 3.3mm) 20 meters (66ft) — A large-format solution for premium auditoriums (Pixel pitch: 5.0mm) Samsung Onyx cinema LED screens natively support both scope (2.39:1) and flat (1.85:1) aspect ratios, ensuring films are displayed in their intended formats without the need for additional adjustments. When scaling beyond standard sizes, Onyx maintains both aspect ratios while maximizing the screen size, allowing content to expand proportionally without distortion. Unlike traditional projectors, which can appear dim in larger theaters and struggle with washed-out colors in bright scenes, Onyx’s enhanced brightness ensures richer details in shadows, more intense highlights and superior color accuracy across the entire spectrum. Powered by Samsung’s HDR technology, Onyx reaches peak brightness levels of 300 nits (87.6fL) — six times brighter than conventional cinema standards — allowing even the brightest details to remain clear and visible.4 As a result, high-brightness scenes retain their full impact, rather than appearing washed out or overexposed. With its industry-leading brightness and precision, Onyx enables clear and vivid playback even in brightly lit environments, making it ideal for alternative content such as live sports, concerts, gaming events and corporate presentations. This allows theaters to deliver a premium viewing experience beyond traditional movie screenings. Built for Reliability and Seamless Integration Onyx is built for long-term performance, offering the industry’s first and longest 10-years warranty for cinema LED,5 setting a new benchmark for reliability in cinema display technology. This extended coverage helps reduce total cost of ownership and ensures a future-proof investment for theater owners. To maintain optimal picture quality, Samsung provides an auto calibration solution that enables theaters to easily calibrate their screens during installation and routine maintenance. Designed for seamless integration, Onyx is compatible with both Dolby and GDC media servers, making it easier for theaters to transition from traditional projection systems. Because of this, theater networks can enjoy seamless content playback and efficient management. Onyx is fully compatible with leading cinema audio solutions, including Dolby Atmos, Meyer Sound, QSC and custom-designed sound systems, providing theaters with the flexibility to customize their sound experience to meet their specific needs. For theaters using HARMAN’s JBL surround sound technology, Onyx also offers seamless integration to ensure optimized audio performance. A Proven Legacy With Global Recognition Samsung Onyx is one of the most widely adopted cinema LED screens in theaters worldwide — setting a new industry standard for premium cinema display technology. As it expands its presence, Onyx continues to showcase its unmatched reliability, versatility and ability to elevate the cinematic experience. One of the most recent installations is at Pathé Palace in Paris, where Onyx was selected to enhance the premium viewing experience in one of the world’s most visually stunning cinemas. “At Pathé, we are committed to delivering the highest-quality cinematic experience for our customers,” said Laure de Boissard, Managing Director, Pathé Cinéma France. “Samsung Onyx allows us to achieve stunning visuals with exceptional brightness and contrast, ensuring that every film is presented exactly as intended.” Samsung Onyx is redefining how movies are experienced through its collaboration with the film industry as well. One such example was Samsung partnering with Pixar Animation Studios to master films like “Elemental,” “Inside Out 2,” and this summer’s “Elio” in HDR for Onyx, which led to the films being shown with exceptional brightness, contrast and color accuracy. Through close collaboration with filmmakers, Onyx continues to push the boundaries of display technology, ensuring that creative visions are brought to life with unmatched precision and clarity. “At Pixar, we believe cinema can be a grand, shared experience — a place where stories feel larger than life and memories are made with friends. That’s why we’re driven to bring something truly new to the big screen with our pioneering HDR-1 theatrical releases,” said Dominic Glynn, Senior Scientist, Pixar Animation Studios. “In rising to meet this ambition, the ONYX screen technology delivers astonishing brightness, clarity and color — an image so clear and uniform it elevates every moment of the story. Even the casual moviegoer will feel the difference. It’s about creating that unforgettable ‘Wow!’ — the kind of experience that reminds us why cinema is, and always should be, special.” CinemaCon attendees can experience the next-generation Onyx firsthand at Samsung’s booth at Caesars Palace, where the company will showcase its latest advancements in cinema display technology. Running March 31-April 3 in Las Vegas, CinemaCon is the largest annual gathering for the motion picture theater industry, bringing together theater owners, filmmakers, studio executives and industry professionals from all over the world.

“Technology has transformed the way people engage with art, making it more accessible through platforms like Samsung Art Store.” Angelle Siyang-Le, Director of Art Basel Hong Kong, is a seasoned art professional with a deep understanding of the Asian and global art markets. For over a decade, she has been instrumental in shaping and defining the fair’s vision by fostering connections with galleries, collectors, institutions and the broader arts ecosystem. Since her appointment as director in 2022, Art Basel Hong Kong has continued to evolve and grow — reflecting the vibrant art scene in Hong Kong and the Asia-Pacific region at large. Her passion for building community has been a driving force throughout her career in the arts, aligning perfectly with Art Basel’s mission to bring people together through meaningful and inspiring art experiences. Samsung Newsroom sat down with Siyang-Le to explore how Art Basel Hong Kong fosters creativity and collaboration through technology. ▲ Angelle Siyang-Le, Director of Art Basel Hong Kong (Image courtesy of Art Basel) Vision and Future of Art Basel Hong Kong Q: What is the vision behind Art Basel Hong Kong? Art Basel is dedicated to connecting and nurturing the global art ecosystem. Art Basel Hong Kong places a strong emphasis on the Asia-Pacific region, with over 50% of participating galleries coming from this area. We actively support the local art scene through collaborations with various institutions and cultural organizations. Each of our shows — in Hong Kong, Basel, Paris and Miami Beach — is uniquely shaped by its host city, an influence reflected in the gallery lineup, artwork and parallel programming developed in collaboration with local institutions. Q: What role does Hong Kong play in the Asian art market? Hong Kong serves as a pivotal gateway to the broader Asian art market. With its established auction houses, vibrant gallery scene and international collector base, the city remains a key hub for both Western and Asian art. As Asia’s leading art hub, Hong Kong continues to bridge art communities across the region and beyond. Q: How has Art Basel Hong Kong evolved over the years? Our fair has evolved alongside Hong Kong’s vibrant art scene, with both continuously inspiring and impacting each other. The city’s cultural landscape has expanded significantly during my time here — invigorated by a new generation of collectors, the opening of world-class institutions like M+ and the Hong Kong Palace Museum and a dynamic surge of commercial, non-profit and artist-run spaces. Internally, we have introduced numerous initiatives and programs as well. I am proud that Art Basel Hong Kong has become a cornerstone of the city’s arts community, with widespread recognition of the fair’s presence this month. ▲ Art Basel Hong Kong 2024 (Image courtesy of Art Basel) Samsung x Art Basel: Redefining Art Appreciation Q: As the official visual display partner for Art Basel, how is Samsung Electronics driving the integration of art into everyday life through Samsung Art Store? The global collaboration between Art Basel and Samsung presents an exciting opportunity to merge world-class art exhibitions with cutting-edge innovations.

Q: How do you see this partnership impacting the way people perceive and appreciate art? Technology-driven initiatives have the power to expand cultural exchange and inspire audiences worldwide. With The Frame, Samsung has already built strong partnerships with leading museums, institutions and artists — bridging diverse artistic practices and mediums. I believe that growing these collaborations will be crucial to further integrating technology into the art world and redefining how people experience and appreciate art in their homes. Q: What has your experience been like using The Frame in Art Mode? I had the opportunity to explore The Frame during Samsung’s activation at our Basel and Miami Beach shows last year, and I was truly impressed by how artwork is presented on the screen. I encourage visitors to experience The Frame in Art Mode and observe how various artistic techniques and textures are rendered digitally. While The Frame offers a stunning way to enjoy classic masterpieces, what excites me most is how Samsung Art Store enhances the experience by showcasing emerging artists and fresh artistic perspectives. ▲ A comparison of The Frame Pro’s TV Mode and Art Mode The Role of Technology in the Evolving Art World Q: How is technology influencing the presentation and consumption of contemporary art? Technology plays a crucial role in expanding the global reach of contemporary art and transforming how we experience and connect with it. Digital platforms have redefined accessibility, while AI and blockchain are revolutionizing how art is created, traded and authenticated. Last year at Art Basel Miami Beach, we introduced an AI-powered mobile app to make exploring the fair more intuitive and engaging. Our use of technology is all about enhancing the visitor experience — offering audiences fresh, innovative ways to discover new artwork, navigate the fair seamlessly and connect with galleries. Q: What changes have you noticed in the art world? Collector interests are shifting. There is a growing demand for emerging artists and increased recognition of local artists, whose presence in private collections is rising. Additionally, a generational shift is underway as younger collectors take on a more active role in shaping the market. ▲ “Enduring as the universe (天長地久, 2024)” by Ticko Liu displayed on The Frame Pro Q: What opportunities excite you most about Art Basel Hong Kong’s future? I’m excited to continue deepening collaborations within Hong Kong’s dynamic arts community and contributing to Asia’s art ecosystem. Strengthening regional and global connections not only enriches the fair but also fosters a broader dialogue around contemporary art. Through meaningful partnerships such as Art Basel’s collaboration with Samsung, we can continue to progress while staying true to our core mission — delivering world-class art fairs for our global community of galleries, artists, partners and collectors. This year, Art Basel Hong Kong will take place from March 28 to 30 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.

In-App purchases are crucial for many applications, and the Samsung In-App Purchase (IAP) service helps developers manage purchases, subscriptions, and refunds efficiently. To keep your server in sync with user transactions, Samsung IAP Instant Server Notification (ISN) sends real-time notifications to your backend server when purchase-related events occur. ISN for Samsung IAP is a method used by Samsung's system to notify your server about user activities related to in-app items and subscriptions. When a change occurs, Samsung sends a notification to your server. A list of all events that trigger a notification is available here. In this article, we will build a Spring Boot server that handles these notifications. Prerequisites To implement ISN for Samsung IAP, it is important to focus on the requirements that helps you to most easily implement the process: Create an IAP public key in the Seller Portal. This key is used to authenticate the notifications you receive and verify that they are from the Samsung IAP ISN system. The steps you need to follow are outlined in the Create an IAP public key in Seller Portal documentation. Create an in-app item in the Seller Portal. Follow the related documentation to create an in-app item. ISN Structure The ISN for Samsung IAP service sends a notification to the application developer server. The structure of the notification is always a base64-encoded JSON Web Token (JWT) and consists of three parts. The three parts are: Header Payload Signature Header The JWT uses a JOSE (JavaScript Object Signing and Encryption) header. Similar to the envelope of a letter, the header indicates the type of notification being sent. For additional information, refer to the Samsung IAP ISN Header article. Example encoded header: eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJSXXXXXXXX Example decoded header: { "alg" : "RS256", "typ" : "JWT" } Payload The payload is the actual content of the message, like the letter inside the envelope. This part contains the crucial information you need, like the user’s subscription details, the product they have subscribed to, and the current status of the subscription. More details about the payload check are available in the following documentation and Data claims section. Example encoded payload: eyJpc3MiOiJpYXAuc2Ftc3VuZ2FwcHMuY29tIiwic3ViIjoiRVZFTlRfTkFNRSIsImF1ZCI6WyJjb20ucGFja2FnZS5uYW1lIl0sIm5iZiI6MTcxNzIwNCwiaWF0IjoxNzE3MjA0LCJkYXRhIjp7InNlbGxlck5hbWUiOm51bGwsIm NvbnRlbnROYW1lIjoiTWFydGluZSJ9LCJ2ZXJzaW9uIjoXXXXXXXX Example decoded payload: { "iss": "iap.samsungapps.com", "sub": "EVENT_NAME", "aud": ["com.package.name"], "nbf": 1717XXXXXX, "iat": 1717XXXXXX, "data": {..}, "version": "X.0" } Signature The signature is the security feature that acts as a digital stamp to prove the message is genuine and hasn’t been tampered with. You can use this signature to verify that the data in the payload is authentic and was created by Samsung. Further information is provided in the signature documentation. Now that we know the structure of the ISN for Samsung IAP, we can configure the server to handle it. Server Configuration According to the ISN for Samsung IAP requirements, you must set up a server to receive the notifications. Below, we create a Spring Boot server. Use your preferred IDE (Integrated Development Environment) or online Spring Initializr to create a Spring Boot server. Follow the steps below to set up your own server. Step 1: Set Up a Spring Boot Project Use the Spring Initializr tool to create a new project. Choose the following dependency: Spring Web Generate and download the project. Step 2: Import the Project into IDE Open the project in the IDE (IntelliJ, Eclipse, etc.) Step 3: Set Up ISN Endpoint Create a controller for ISN Notifications in the IDE after importing the Spring Boot project. The controller receives POST requests (Subscription, Refund and Cancel) sent from Samsung’s IAP server. Add necessary dependencies in the build.gradle file: { implementation 'com.auth0:java-jwt:4.0.0' //For JWT verifier implementation 'org.json:json:20230227' // For JSON parsing } Load the public key detailed in the prerequisite section: private String loadPublicKey(String fileName) throws IOException { ClassPathResource resource = new ClassPathResource(fileName); StringBuilder contentBuilder = new StringBuilder(); try (InputStream inputStream = resource.getInputStream(); BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(inputStream))) { String line; while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) { contentBuilder.append(line).append("\n"); } } return contentBuilder.toString(); } Remove headers, footers, and whitespace from the public key and convert it to the RSAPublicKey format. private RSAPublicKey getRSAPublicKeyFromPEM(String pem) throws Exception { String publicKeyPEM = pem .replace("-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----", "") .replace("-----END PUBLIC KEY-----", "") .replaceAll("\\s", ""); // Remove headers, footers, and whitespace byte[] encoded = Base64.getDecoder().decode(publicKeyPEM); KeyFactory keyFactory = KeyFactory.getInstance("RSA"); X509EncodedKeySpec keySpec = new X509EncodedKeySpec(encoded); return (RSAPublicKey) keyFactory.generatePublic(keySpec); } Create a JWT verifier with RSAPublicKey and, finally, verify the JWT. If the verification is successful, decode the JWT to retrieve the decoded JSON payload. The decoded payload contains the message of the notification. private void verifyToken(String token, RSAPublicKey publicKey) { try { // Create JWT verifier with RSA public key Algorithm algorithm = Algorithm.RSA256(publicKey, null); // Verify the JWT token JWTVerifier verifier = JWT.require(algorithm) .withIssuer("iap.samsungapps.com") .build(); DecodedJWT jwt = verifier.verify(token); // Decode the JWT token String payloadJson = new String(Base64.getDecoder().decode(jwt.getPayload())); JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject(payloadJson); //Print decoded JSON payload System.out.println("Payload as JSON: " + jsonObject.toString(4)); } catch (JWTVerificationException e) { System.out.println("Invalid token: " + e.getMessage()); } } In this sample project, we have only printed the payload data to the console. You can use this according to your requirements. Step 4: Deploy the Server The server needs a publicly accessible URL to receive ISN notifications. In our project, we have used CodeSandbox to get the publicly accessible URL for the server. Once you deploy the project on CodeSandbox, you will get a publicly accessible URL that looks like this: https://abcde-8080.csb.app/iap/isn. Testing with Seller Portal Test your server with Samsung Galaxy Store Seller Portal: Set the CodeSandbox URL as the ISN URL in Seller Portal. Go to the In-App Purchase section and create items with the required details. In the "ISN URL" field, set the publicly accessible server URL. After setting the URL, click the Test button. A notification will be sent to the specified server immediately. You will also receive a notification on the server that you just deployed in the CodeSandbox. Figure 1: Testing with Seller Portal Testing with a Sample Application Now it is time to test the ISN for Samsung IAP from the user application. Further details are provided in the Integrate the Samsung In-App Purchase Orders API with Your Application article. Download the sample application from this blog and then follow the instructions until you reach the "Implementation of Item Subscription" section. In the sample application, after clicking the "Buy" button, startPayment() is called. The onPayment() callback returns an indication of whether the purchase succeeds or fails. If the purchase is successful, the IAP server sends a notification to your server. iapHelper.startPayment(itemId, String.valueOf(1), new OnPaymentListener() { @Override public void onPayment(@NonNull ErrorVo errorVo, @Nullable PurchaseVo purchaseVo) { if (purchaseVo != null) { Log.d("purchaseId" , purchaseVo.getPurchaseId().toString()); // Purchase successfull }else { Log.d("purchaseError" , errorVo.toString()); } } }); Example Response After successfully purchasing an item, a JSON response is returned. For more information on each parameter, you can check the Item purchased documentation. Example JSON response: "data" : { "itemId": "example_item_id", "orderId": "XXXX40601KRA00XXXXX", "purchaseId": "XXXXX7245d57cc1ba072b81d06e6f86cd49d3da63854538eea689273787XXXXX", "testPayYn": "N", "betaTestYn": "N", "passThroughParam": null } NoteFor different event types, it sends different data claims. For more detailed information regarding data claims, see Data claims. Conclusion By implementing the ISN for Samsung IAP with your server, you can easily and securely stay in sync with user in-app purchases. Integrating ISN for Samsung IAP helps you improve your application management experience and grow your application’s revenue. Following this guide will help you smoothly set up the system and provide a better way to manage your application.

Samsung Newsroom took a closer look at the technology behind Eclipsa Audio and how it delivers lifelike 3D spatial audio. Developing 3D Spatial Audio Technology In 2023, the Alliance for Open Media (AOM) — a global consortium that includes Samsung, Google, Netflix, Meta and other leading companies — officially adopted Immersive Audio Model and Formats (IAMF) as the industry standard for 3D audio. Developed by Samsung and Google, this innovative 3D audio format is currently available to content creators under the brand name Eclipsa Audio. Eclipsa Audio establishes a shared protocol between different types of media content and the devices that play them. The format delivers a deeply immersive listening experience by optimizing and adapting audio positioning, intensity, spatial reflections and other sound elements to various output environments, such as cinemas, home theater systems, gaming consoles and mobile devices. Depending on the output device, the technology can render sound from multiple directions — including from the front, back, left, right, above and below — to create a sense of spatial depth and presence within the scene being watched. In a concert video for instance, Eclipsa Audio presents the artist’s performance in crystal-clear detail while also capturing the energy of the audience, making the viewer feel as if they are physically there. Designed for Optimal 3D Audio in Everyday Life Among the growing range of technologies enhancing 3D sound — including surround sound, immersive audio and spatial audio — Eclipsa Audio was specifically designed to provide a 3D audio experience optimized for everyday listening. Traditionally, 3D audio content is created with the assumption that it will be played in environments equipped with multiple surround speakers. However, most home entertainment setups primarily consist of a TV and a soundbar — making it challenging to accurately replicate the content creator’s intended spatial audio effects. Eclipsa Audio overcomes this limitation by automatically analyzing sound elements in each segment of a film — from whispered dialogue to the roar of fighter jets in the background — and delivering a dynamic 3D audio effect fine-tuned for the viewer’s home environment. Building a 3D Audio Ecosystem With Open-Source Technology Eclipsa Audio’s open-source framework sets it apart from other 3D audio technologies by allowing anyone to create 3D audio content without paying royalties. Following its debut at CES 2025, the technology has been met with enthusiasm from content creators and has gained momentum across media platforms and online communities. In this way, Eclipsa Audio serves as an open vessel in which content creators can integrate 3D audio elements from all directions without restrictions. By democratizing spatial audio, Eclipsa Audio empowers content creators and ensures that consumers experience sound as intended — regardless of their audio setup. Eclipsa Audio on Samsung TVs Eclipsa Audio’s immersive 3D sound performs at its best when paired with exceptional hardware. To make that peak performance a reality, Samsung and Google have worked tirelessly to provide consumers with Eclipsa Audio-supported 3D audio content — soon to be available via the YouTube app on Samsung’s latest TVs. Eclipsa Audio is set to roll out across the company’s entire 2025 TV lineup from the Crystal UHD series to the premium flagship Neo QLED 8K models.1 Most Samsung TVs are equipped with stereo speakers at the bottom of the screen, and for QLED 4K models and above, additional speakers are positioned at the top. Flagship models, though, come with extra benefits. Besides surround speakers added to the rear of the sides, their top-positioned speakers are specially designed for height perception. Eclipsa Audio reflects sound off the ceiling with these special speakers, creating an effect that allows viewers to experience upward-directional audio — such as the sensation of an object flying overhead. Pairing the TV with a soundbar further enhances the experience, producing richer and more expansive 3D spatial audio. Eclipsa Audio has established the foundation for a 3D audio content ecosystem by bringing industry leaders — from device manufacturers to content platforms — together under a unified standard. In an era where streaming services blur the line between content creation and consumption, Eclipsa Audio unlocks new possibilities for immersive sound that Samsung is determined to further expand. 1 Rollout schedule and service details may vary depending on the TV model.

Quantum dots have attracted attention as next-generation material for a wide range of applications including displays, medical devices and solar cells. In 2014, Samsung Electronics developed the world’s first no-cadmium quantum dot material and successfully commercialized quantum dot technology with its SUHD TVs. Since 2017, the company has continued to build on its legacy of quantum dot mastery through QLED — its own quantum dot TV series. Samsung Newsroom explored how quantum dots are taking Samsung displays to the next level. Quantum Dots: The Next Generation of Display Innovation Quantum dots are ultra-fine semiconductor particles that are tens of thousands of times thinner than a human hair. Since inception, their physical characteristics that allow them to provide the highest level of color accuracy and brightness among existing materials had them positioned to revolutionize display technology. When used in displays, quantum dots support a wide color gamut that closely matches colors perceived by the human eye and facilitate pixel-level light adjustment for more accurate black levels. Emitting light in all directions, quantum dots deliver uniform luminance and consistent color from any viewing angle while minimizing blue light exposure for a more comfortable viewing experience. ▲ SUHD TVs at CES 2015 What Sets Quantum Dot TVs Apart: Content, Film Quality and No-Cadmium Technology The TV industry continues research and development into the commercialization of quantum dots as the material becomes a game-changer in display technology. For that reason, a variety of quantum dot TVs have hit the market recently — offering a wide range of options to customers. However, key differences in quantum dot TVs lie in how the technology is implemented and the overall quality of the display. To ensure a premium viewing experience, factors such as the amount of quantum dot content, the quality of quantum dot film and the use of no-cadmium materials must be considered. ▲ Factors to consider when selecting a high-quality quantum dot TV Quantum Dot Content The true quality of a quantum dot TV is defined by its quantum dot content. The quantum dot layer requires a minimum of 30 parts per million (ppm) of the material to achieve the vivid, rich picture quality and color expression that only quantum dots can deliver. Quantum Dot Film Quantum dot displays have a simpler and more efficient structure compared to LCDs. Samsung QLEDs eliminate the need for a phosphor layer, enhancing light and energy efficiency while delivering more vivid colors. A quantum dot OLED (QD-OLED), which consists of a thin-film transistor (TFT) layer,1 a self-emitting light source and a quantum dot film that uses the light emitted from the light source, takes a step further enhancing picture quality. In either case, a dedicated quantum dot film that contains sufficient quantum dots is key in delivering top-class picture quality and longevity. ▲ A comparison of QD-OLED and LCD displays No Cadmium In the early stages of developing quantum dot TVs, cadmium was essential to achieving the key benefits of quantum dots such as color reproduction and contrast ratio. At the time, cadmium was considered the most efficient material for producing quantum dots. However, cadmium’s toxicity became a significant obstacle to the commercialization of quantum dot technology. The element posed serious threats to the environment — making its widespread use difficult despite being the most suitable material for implementing quantum dot technology. In response to this challenge, Samsung developed the world’s first no-cadmium quantum dot material in 2014 and successfully commercialized quantum dot technology with its SUHD TVs in the following year to open a new era of quantum dot TVs. 10 Years of Quantum Dot Innovation and Leadership Samsung has quickly recognized the potential of quantum dot technology and led innovation in the global display market over the past decade through continuous research and investment. ▲ A timeline of Samsung’s quantum dot technology development from 2001 to 2022 Samsung began researching and developing quantum dot technology in 2001 — at a time when there was limited research on non-cadmium materials. Achieving vivid colors required making the nano-sized particles uniform, but the lack of technology and research made mass production extremely challenging. Despite these obstacles, Samsung succeeded in creating a no-cadmium nanocrystal material in 2014. Since then, the company has accumulated extensive expertise — registering more than 150 patents — and continuously worked on advancing the technology. Samsung’s long-standing commitment culminated in 2015 when the company unveiled the world’s first SUHD TVs with no-cadmium quantum dot technology. ▲ QLED TVs (75Q8C and 88Q8F) at Samsung’s First Look 2017 event during CES 2017 Samsung’s QLED lineup was revealed in 2017, setting a new standard for premium TVs that overcame the limitations of OLED TVs. By applying metal quantum dot technology, Samsung achieved the Digital Cinema Initiative’s color standard DCI-P3 and achieved 100% color volume for the first time in the world — thereby presenting unparalleled color expression. Notably, the use of inorganic quantum dot technology protected the screens from burn-in2 to ensure consistent picture quality over time. ▲ (From left to right) Kwang-Hee Kim, Dr. Taehyung Kim, Dr, Eunjoo Jang, Sungwoo Kim and Seon-Myeong Choi from Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology Following its success in developing a red light-emitting element for displays in 2019, the company enhanced the luminous efficiency of blue self-emitting QLEDs — considered the most challenging to implement among the three primary QLED colors3 — to an industry-leading 20.2%. “Discovering a blue material for self-emitting QLEDs and demonstrating industry-leading performance at the device level were significant achievements of this research,” said Dr. Eunjoo Chang, a fellow at Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology. “Samsung’s distinctive quantum dot technology has once again overcome technical barriers.” This cutting-edge advancements led to the launch of the QD-OLED TVs, making history at CES 2022 by winning the Best of Innovation award for integrating quantum dot technology and OLED displays. Samsung remains dedicated to advancing quantum dot technology through continuous innovation. The company continues to invest in leading display technology — from QLED to Neo OLED — by offering high brightness, color accuracy and frequency. Driven by Samsung’s unrivaled quantum dot innovations, the future of display technology is brighter than ever. 1 An electronic circuit that adjusts and controls the light-emitting layers 2 Occurs when a static image is displayed for too long, causing color distortions or ghost images to remain on screen 3 Red, green and blue View the full article

Samsung Electronics today announced a partnership with game developers Nexon Korea and Neople to deliver unparalleled 3D experiences in the upcoming game ‘The First Berserker: Khazan.’ The game’s 3D elements are being specially customized and designed during development, utilizing Samsung technology and the advanced capabilities of the Odyssey 3D monitor to create an immersive 3D gaming experience. Through this partnership, Nexon, Neople and Samsung have been working closely to tailor the 3D visuals, carefully adjusting them based on the composition of characters, backgrounds and cinematics throughout the game. This process gives the developers an unprecedented level of control over the 3D effects, enabling them to bring their creative visions to life with precision. “The partnership between Samsung and Nexon will provide an unmatched gaming experience with ‘The First Berserker: Khazan’ on the Odyssey 3D monitor,” said Yongjae Kim, Executive Vice President of the Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. “We’ll continue to expand partnerships with premium gaming companies across the globe to deliver 3D gaming technology that provides the highest level of gaming immersion.” By fine-tuning the focal distance for 3D effects on a case-by-case basis, Nexon and Neople aim to develop specific scenarios that determine when and how elements become 3D. These efforts reduce crosstalk — a common issue causing visual overlap — while enhancing the clarity of epic boss battles and cinematic cutscenes. “This partnership marks a significant step in establishing a competitive 3D gaming model on a global scale, driving innovation across the whole industry,” said Choi Sung-wook, head of the publishing live division at Nexon. “We are excited for gamers worldwide to experience the vibrant graphics and intricate gameplay of ‘The First Berserker: Khazan,’ made possible by the cutting-edge technologies available to our developers and the industry-leading Samsung Odyssey gaming monitor.” ‘The First Berserker: Khazan’ is a hardcore action RPG (role playing game) where players experience Khazan’s legendary journey firsthand, immersing themselves in the world of Nexon’s leading franchise — the Dungeon & Fighter Universe. The game is set for global release on March 28 KST. The Odyssey 3D, unveiled at CES 2024 and recognized with the prestigious Best of Innovation award, will launch worldwide in April, delivering groundbreaking 3D technology that elevates gaming for players globally.
