At CES 2025, Samsung Display introduced a new MicroLED screen designed specifically for smartwatches, marking a notable step forward in wearable display technology. This is because there are currently no commercially available smartwatches that use MicroLED displays.
Brightness and Display Details
Samsung’s prototype display achieves a peak brightness of 4000 nits, which is 33% brighter than the OLED screen on the Galaxy Watch Ultra. This advancement enhances visibility in bright outdoor environments. The display measures 2.1 inches with a resolution of 418 x 540 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of 326ppi. This closely matches the 327ppi pixel density of the Galaxy Watch Ultra’s OLED display.
Advantages of MicroLED
MicroLED displays combine the advantages of OLED screens, such as self-luminosity, pure black levels, infinite contrast, and wide viewing angles. Additionally, MicroLED screens offer a longer lifespan, faster response speeds, and improved energy efficiency. They also operate effectively across a wide range of temperatures, which reduces the risk of thermal damage and enhances their durability.
Commercial Release
Reports from MICROLED-info confirm that Samsung is working on a Galaxy Watch with a MicroLED display, aiming for a 2025 release. Other companies are also making progress in this area. Garmin is reportedly developing MicroLED technology for its Fenix 8 series, while Apple has been researching MicroLED displays for its Apple Watch lineup. Although Apple initially planned to launch this technology in the Apple Watch Ultra by 2025, delays may push the release to 2026.
