Although it was in 2019 when they presented a first unit with an OLED panel, and later in 2020 they launched to market it, it seems that 2021 will be the year chosen for the democratization of the panel in the brand's laptops. OLED for all!
New domestic and mobile demands
After suffering months of confinement and making teleworking more common, the demands of users when it comes to working from home or spending more time in it have increased. This has made the market demand more complete functionalities, and something detected by Samsung is offering a better screen to consume content and work. And what better than one? YOU ARE?
According to the company, the demand for this type of panel is expected to multiply by 5 in the coming months, and for this reason it is already working on the production of OLED display 15,6 inches that could be ready for next February. According to the first data, these screens will offer the same Full HD resolution of the 13,3-inch panels that they currently offered, so, for the moment, the first new screen will not arrive in 4K with which to live the experience to the fullest.
Looking for new clients
After getting Lenovo, ASUS, Dell and HP to mount their 13,3-inch screens, Samsung Display's idea is to sign new agreements with more companies to which they can offer their new screens. Since his idea is to bring to life up to 10 different models reaching up to 16 inches, it may be easier to find new alliances due to the different plans that interested manufacturers may have.
A MacBook Pro with an OLED screen?
One of these new clients could be Apple, since with the arrival of the M1 processor, the next step to make their laptops grow would be to mount an OLED screen that would offer unparalleled image quality and better energy consumption, giving so life to the expected new 16-inch MacBook Pro.
The problem is that we do not imagine a MacBook Pro with a Full HD screen, so we hope that among those 10 models that the manufacturer is working on there will be a 16-inch version with 4K resolution.
In addition, an OLED screen would allow for a tighter bezel design, not to mention the spectacular image quality that would be achieved. However, taking into account that we are talking about the fact that the incorporation could help to redesign the equipment, it is possible that if it exists, we will not see this version until 2022, a date that would also serve Samsung to get some air and be able to cover the demand generated by Apple.
