Samsung Display has started supplying tandem OLED laptop panels that meet VESA's new DisplayHDR True Black 1400 certification, a significant upgrade over the previous generation. These new ultra-bright OLED panels are now shipping to laptop OEMs around the world, so we should see them in new laptop designs very soon. 

To qualify for VESA's DisplayHDR True Black 1400 standard, displays must reproduce black levels of 0.0005nits or lower while reaching a peak brightness of 1400nits at a 10% On Pixel Ratio (OPR). This increases the peak brightness requirement by 40% compared to the previous DisplayHDR True Black 1000 benchmark.

Samsung Display states that its new tandem OLED panel achieves up to 1600nits of peak brightness at the panel level. That represents a 40% improvement over conventional single-stack OLED panels capped at 1100nits. Stacking two organic emissive layers reduces stress on each layer, doubling the panel's lifespan under standard laptop operating conditions. Newly developed materials also optimise light efficiency and operational stability.

The Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i Aura Edition (16″, 11) earned True Black 1400 certification on July 8th using this panel. Additional products from Asus, Dell, and MSI are expected to feature the display from the second half of this year through next year. Samsung Display will also showcase the technology at K-Display 2026 in Seoul from July 22nd to 24th.
