The Society for Information Display handed Samsung Display its most prestigious honor last week, naming the dual-folding Galaxy Z TriFold panel “Display of the Year” at the Display Industry Awards.

The announcement dropped April 28, while the ceremony itself follows at Display Week 2026, opening May 3 in Los Angeles. That’s eight total wins since Samsung first entered flexible OLED territory with a 5.68-inch panel back in 2014.

At 0.44mm total module thickness, the TriFold is the thinnest foldable panel Samsung has ever shipped. Yet it doesn’t sacrifice durability to get there, which is the trick everyone said couldn’t be pulled off.

Internal testing logged 500,000 folds at room temperature without display degradation. Samsung calls the underlying technology MONT FLEX, its latest foldable OLED platform, and mass production started September 2025.

When you fold a display, the layers inside don’t all move identically.

Micro-misalignments accumulate under repeated stress, and in a TriFold design with two separate folding axes on a single screen, that slip phenomenon is amplified by up to 1.6 times compared to a standard single-fold device.

Samsung’s engineers addressed this by developing new adhesive materials and reworking how stress distributes across the panel’s structure.

SID praised the 10-inch-class display for expanding what’s possible in productivity, creativity, and entertainment during what it called the mobile AI era.

Hojung Lee, Executive Vice President and Head of Mobile Display Product Planning at Samsung Display, said the win “reaffirms Samsung Display’s leadership in the foldable market.”
