Samsung Display will target various platforms 

Samsung Display CEO JS Choi said the company's focus was on delivering high-quality viewing experiences to customers across devices, which is critical given the recent growth of remote work and non-face-to-face communication.  

The company, which pioneered OLED technology in 2007, now accounts for nearly a quarter of the display market and over half of the smartphone market.

“Samsung Display will keep developing various self-luminous technologies including OLED, QD, and LED. It will take the lead in growing the market by providing display solutions in various sizes ranging 1-inch to 200-inch,” Choi added.

Additionally, Choi said that Samsung is innovating display technology for electric vehicles.
