Samsung Shows Off OLED Tech for Virtual Reality at 5,000 Pixels Per Inch | PCMag

Apple's Vision Pro currently displays 3,386ppi, so Samsung's RGB OLED on Silicon (OLEDoS) tech promises to push the boundaries of VR headsets with even more lifelike visuals.

TL;DR: Samsung demoed a tiny 1.4-inch RGB OLED-on-Silicon panel packing a whopping 5,000 ppi—outclassing Apple’s Vision Pro (3,386 ppi) and Meta Quest 3—at SID Display Week. The microdisplay can hit 15,000 nits brightness at 120 Hz with 99% color gamut, effectively banishing the “screen door” pixel grid in VR.

Beyond VR headsets, Samsung cranked a lower-density demo (4,200 ppi) to over 20,000 nits and notes the same tech could slot into a smartwatch. By building OLEDs onto silicon wafers, it uses chip-fab tricks to cram in ultra-tiny, super-bright pixels for next-gen wearables.
