Samsung Display is putting a clear name behind its next push in QD-OLED innovation: QuantumBlack. The focus is simple: cut reflections, strengthen the panel, and preserve true black performance in real-world conditions.

The Samsung QuantumBlack display technology reduces light reflectance by 20 percent compared to its previous film, which targets one of QD-OLED’s biggest pain points.

While self-emissive panels can shut off pixels entirely to deliver true black, ambient light often interferes. Reflections wash out dark scenes, especially in bright rooms. QuantumBlack is designed to address exactly that.

Samsung Display plans to apply this new film across all QD-OLED monitor products launching this year. With trademark registration already completed, signalling a broader push to standardize low-reflection performance as a core selling point.

QuantumBlack increases panel surface hardness from 2H to 3H. A 3H rating indicates the panel can withstand contact from a fingernail without visible damage, which is a practical upgrade for long-term usage.

In line with QuantumBlack’s development, global vendors are prepping to bring monitors featuring this new technology. Notably, ASUS has launched its ‘Black Shield,’ Gigabyte ‘Obsidian Shield,’ and MSI ‘Dark Armor.’

Samsung, citing Omdia report, says that the global self-emissive monitor display market is expected to expand from 3.4 million units in 2025 to 7.6 million units by 2030. Samsung Display currently holds a dominant 75 percent market share in 2025.

Brad Jung, Vice President at Samsung Display, describes QuantumBlack as a premium solution. He points to its ability to reinforce QD-OLED’s deep black advantage while improving durability, ultimately delivering a more immersive experience.
