Samsung developing more eco-friendly OLEDs for phones, laptops and smart TVs

Published

on

Just recently, Samsung Display has registered two more trademark applications for ‘Eco OLED’ and ‘Eco² OLED’ with EUIPO (European Union Intellectual Property Office) and UKIPO (United Kingdom Intellectual Property Office) that are related to OLED screens.

The trademark is classified as category 9 and is described as follows: “OLED display panel; smartphone display; television display panels; flexible flat panel displays for computers; tablet monitors; notebook display; display for communication apparatus.”

However, its description is quite identical to the previously filed “Round Diamond Pixels” trademark by Samsung. Meanwhile, it is still unclear whether this is the same type of OLED screen or not, plus the representation of the name “Eco²” remains a mystery.

Aside from this, the South Korean tech giant has also registered a similar logo in which the E part of Eco is made of a green leaf, which suggests this product will be extremely environmentally friendly.

As we know that OLED displays have been rated environmentally friendly because they use relatively less energy, require fewer components, and generate less carbon dioxide emissions. And there’s a possibility that Samsung has further optimized the production process to produce it in a more eco-friendly way.

LG Innotek struggles to gain ground in Samsung smartphone CoF

Samsung Galaxy A55 A35 5G promo material

LG Innotek is supplying CoF for budget and mid-range Samsung smartphones this year. Despite the CoF supply chain formed by the Korean govt., Stemco still has the upper hand in overall volume and model-specific volume in the Samsung CoF market.

TheElec notes that LG Innotek is not making progress in Samsung smartphones’ CoF (chip-on-film) market. Back in 2021, Korean govt formed a local CoF supply chain, but Japan’s Stemco still has an edge over LG Innotek in the Samsung smartphone CoF market.

As of 2024, LG Innotek and PI Advanced Materials are still supplying CoF and related materials for Samsung’s affordable phones like the Galaxy A5 series. Pay attention, the lower lineup of the Galaxy A series and Galaxy M series uses the CoG method, mounting chips on glass substrates.

LG Innotek’s CoF production line operation rate is expected to reach around 70% this year. Beyond Samsung, LG Innotek supplies smartphone CoFs to Oppo, Vivo, and Xiaomi. Notably, G Innotek’s revenue was 20.6 trillion won last year.

US Galaxy Z Flip 6 w/ Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 scores fiery performance

Published

Apple foldable phone

Benchmark listing confirms Samsung will fuel the US Galaxy Z Flip 6 with a Snapdragon chipset. The device has benchmarked on Geekbench, scoring sizing points in single-core and multi-core tests. Interestingly, the Flip phone features 12GB of RAM, which is a big upgrade.

As spotted by CID/X, the US variant of Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 will feature up to 12GB RAM and Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy processor. While the listing doesn’t mention the phone’s marketing name, Samsung’s modeling strategy says SM-F741U is the Galaxy Z Flip 6.

Earlier, the same product surfaced on Geekbench’s graphics processing unit test. The device reached the same performance as the Galaxy S24 Ultra despite lacking such larger cooling tech. As far as the CPU performance is concerned, the Z Flip 6 scored:

  • 1794 in single-core
  • 4486 in multi-core

Samsung is expected to hold its next Unpacked event in Paris right before the 2024 Olympics kicks off. The tentative date is July 10, when the company will introduce Galaxy Z Flip 6, Z Fold 6, and Z Fold 6 Ultra. More products including the Watch 7 series and Galaxy Ring are expected.

As the company still has around two months to unveil, there will be further performance improvements. Global consumers might be disappointed as the Exynos is expected to power some units. It might harm some sales but Samsung has to do it to maintain the cost-cutting.
