Computex 2025 has just wrapped up, and while there were plenty of exciting new technologies on display, one particular innovation from Samsung really caught our eye—so much so it snagged an award for being among the best of the show! Get ready to hear about Samsung’s UT One, a display tech aiming to completely change the game for OLED screens.
So, what exactly is this “UT One”? The “UT” stands for “Ultra-Thin” OLED structure. Samsung’s clever idea is to replace the traditional top glass layer of an OLED panel with incredibly thin organic and inorganic films. This occurs while keeping the bottom glass intact. This might sound like a small change, but its effects are anything but.
Samsung’s UT One tech promises thinner, energy-saving displays
The UT One panel Samsung showcased at Computex isn’t just about being thin. It’s also the first IT OLED panel to support an incredibly low variable refresh rate of just 1 Hz. Samsung’s internal testing suggests this new panel delivers “next-generation power efficiency.” It cuts power consumption by a remarkable 30% compared to current displays. That’s a huge leap forward.
Imagine a laptop or tablet that’s 30% thinner and 30% lighter—that’s roughly the weight saving of an entire laptop battery cell (around 50g). This allows for more sleek designs or potentially larger batteries elsewhere. The dynamic refresh rate, which can go from 1Hz all the way up to 120Hz depending on what’s on screen, is also a game-changer. Samsung notes that this power efficiency will free up more energy for those demanding AI functions we’re seeing more of.
Achieving that super-low 1Hz variable refresh rate was no small feat. Samsung Display managed it by applying Oxide TFT technology, which is perfect for large, high-resolution screens. This innovative panel structure is slated to begin production in 2026.
Beyond UT One, Samsung also demonstrated other clever low-power OLED tech at Computex. The list includes Intelligent Color Technology (ICT) and Edge Luminance Profile (ELP). They’re all designed to make displays more efficient without sacrificing brightness or quality.
Samsung’s UT One really stood out at Computex 2025, hinting at a future where our devices are not only more beautiful and responsive but also significantly thinner, lighter, and much more power-efficient. That makes it worthy of being among the best of the event.
