More Advanced Than Ever, Galaxy Z Fold8 & Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra Galaxy Z Fold8 Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra 14:00 The highly anticipated Galaxy Z Fold8 series officially launched in major global markets on August 7. Featuring a new form factor with a 4:3 aspect ratio, the Galaxy Z Fold8 introduces a more immersive viewing experience, while the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra showcases Samsung's thinnest ever design at just 4.1mm when unfolded, capturing strong attention even during the pre-order period. Both models feature Samsung Display's new Foldable OLED, delivering an even more powerful and refined display experience than their predecessors.
A Titanium-Enhanced Panel Structure Reinforced Integrated Titanium Alloy Titanium Plate Adhesive Layer Film To create a foldable display that is thinner, stronger, and more seamless when folded, the new product features an innovative structure utilizing titanium. Replacing the conventional plastic film with a titanium alloy film and adding a reinforced titanium plate, Samsung Display has developed a dual-layer titanium structure. Leveraging titanium's exceptional elasticity and strength, the structure delivers enhanced durability against repeated folding and external impacts, while enabling a thinner and more flexible display design.
The Key to Enhanced Durability 'Reinforced Titanium Plate' Folding Area Previous Plastic Film Separate Adhesive Layer Titanium Plate Hole Impact Dispersion New Titanium Alloy Plate Foldable Integrated Adhesive Layer OLED Reinforced Titanium Plate Uitra-precision laser control The most notable innovation in the new panel is the Reinforced Titanium Plate. Serving as a support layer when the display is folded and unfolded, this component features advanced hole processing technology that significantly reduces the size of micro-holes in the folding area. With smaller holes, the adhesive layer can be applied more densely, enabling more effective impact dispersion in the folding area while also reducing the visibility of display creases.
High-Strength, High-Elasticity Titanium Thinner. Stronger! 12% Thinner Plastic Adhesive Plastic Reinforced Titanium Alloy Reinforced Film Layer Film Titanium Plate Film Titanium Plate The new panel also replaces the conventional plastic film, which previously helped absorb and disperse impact, with a titanium alloy film that offers approximately 20 times greater stiffness. Using an ultra-precision rolling process, Samsung Display engineered the titanium alloy film to be as thin as about one-third the thickness of a human hair. This innovation also reduces the overall display thickness by 12% compared with the previous generation. * Rolling is a metal-forming process that passes material between rotating rollers to produce an exceptionally thin and uniform sheet.
Sharper Image Quality and Greater Power Efficiency with New Organic Materials and Data Line Mapping Technology Previous New Foldable OLED Cover Display Main Display Cover Display Main Display Resolutions VS Approx. 15% Improvement 422 PPI 368 PPI 422 PPI 422 PPI Power Approx. 10% efficiency 100% 90% Improvement The new panel also delivers a 15% improvement in resolution, enabled by a high-resolution design and next-generation organic materials. With matching resolutions across the cover and main displays, Samsung Display has reduced eye strain while providing a more natural and consistent viewing experience. The panel also incorporates data line mapping technology optimized for Diamond Pixel. By delivering RGB color signals more efficiently and minimizing unnecessary voltage fluctuations and signal interference, the technology improves panel power efficiency by approximately 10%. *Data line mapping is the process of connecting data signals from the display driver IC to the corresponding data lines within the panel for precise pixel driving
Samsung Display's new Foldable OLED combines reinforced titanium technology, a high-resolution design, and next-generation organic materials. Delivering enhanced durability and flexibility along with outstanding image quality, it represents the next evolution of the foldable display experience. Stay tuned as Samsung Display continues to push the boundaries of foldable display innovation.
