- Exhibited a 40-inch OLED panel that features a full HD resolution of 1920 x 1080, a contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1, a color gamut of 107% NTSC and a luminance of 200cd/m2 (peak luminance of 600cd/m2)
- Though there were some vertical line defects, the panel appeared to have a luminance peculiar to OLED displays.
- The driver board is a low-temperature poly-Si TFT, and it is made by the super grain silicon (SGS) technology to grow crystals without using a laser.
- "Our low temperature poly-Si TFT mass-production line cannot make panels larger than 31 inches," a Samsung staffer said. "This 40-inch TFT panel is the largest size that can be made on our pilot line, and it cannot be mass-produced right away."
