Samsung Display is developing its own low powered display technology that will be featured on future smart devices. The new tech is dubbed as HOP, which is short for hybrid oxide and polycrystalline silicon.

Samsung is working on its own proprietary low-temperature polycrystalline oxide (LTPO) thin-film transistor (TFT) display technology. In layman’s terms, it’s a hybrid technology developed by the South Korean tech giant. HOP combines positive aspects from low-temperature polycrystalline silicon (LTPS) TFT and oxide TFT. For those unaware, LTPS TFT is generally found on smartphone panels, while oxide TFT is found in display panels for notebooks and tablets.

With the new LTPO TFT panel, OEMs can save up to 15 percent to 20 percent on power consumption on smartphone’ OLED displays. This is a notable improvement that can raise a handset’s battery life. Furthermore, the new LTPO display technology is expected to be featured on the upcoming Galaxy Note 20 series, which will be launching later this year.

So far, this form of display technology was restricted to smartwatches, namely Apple Watch Series 4 and even the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2. While the technology has existed in the past, the core parts of the technology were reportedly owned by Apple. Thus, OEMs would have to either pay royalties to Apple or develop a workaround technology, which is likely why Samsung Display made its own iteration of the technology that was first seen in 2015.

Japan Display Incorporated (JDI) is one of the big names in display manufacturing. The last we heard from the company was that they had unveiled a dual-panel foldable display. However, it seems they have been working on other projects as news has it that they just announced a dedicated VR display.

The LTPS TFT-LCD display has a screen size of 3.42-inches with a pixel density of 651ppi and will be used in VR glasses. It will solve the grainy image issue plaguing current VR display and the fact that it uses Low Temperature Polycrystalline Silicon Thin Film Transistor Technology allows it to have such a high resolution.

The display also has a high refresh rate of 90Hz and a liquid crystal response speed of just 3ms. It also has an improved animation mode which results in clearer images.

There is no news of when the display will be commercially available but JDI has started shipping samples to developers. Chances are that we might get to see them in VR glasses released in 2017.
