Samsung Display To Unveil 5,000-Nit OLED Panels With OCF Technology At MWC 2025

Samsung Display has confirmed that it will unveil its latest OLED panels featuring On-Cell Film (OCF) technology at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2025 in Barcelona, taking place from March 3 to March 6.

The key advantage of OCF technology is its ability to achieve an impressive peak brightness of 5,000 nits while reducing overall power consumption. This is made possible by eliminating the traditional polarizer layer, which typically minimizes ambient light reflections.

Instead, the new design employs an advanced multi-layer architecture that blocks external light interference without requiring a separate polarizer. This innovation not only enhances brightness but also makes the display up to 20% thinner while maintaining 3,000 nits in standard mode and reaching up to 5,000 nits in HDR mode.

Thanks to this improvement, OLED panels equipped with OCF technology can deliver the same brightness as conventional OLED screens while consuming 37% less energy. This efficiency is expected to significantly extend battery life in devices such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops.

Joohyung Lee, Head of the Mobile Display Division at Samsung Display, commented on the advancement, stating: “We are excited to showcase the progress of OCF, which aligns with the principles of L.E.A.D.—low power consumption, sustainability, higher brightness, and lighter design. At MWC 2025, we will demonstrate the value of this technology, which sets a new direction for the display industry.” Samsung Display is expected to introduce multiple OCF-based OLED models at MWC 2025, including foldable and even rollable display concepts, which have been previously mentioned in patents.
