Core Viewpoint - Samsung Display has developed a new technology called SmartPower HDR™ in collaboration with Intel, which aims to reduce the power consumption of OLED panels in HDR mode by up to 22% for laptops, enhancing battery life and user experience with HDR content [1][4]. Group 1: Technology Overview - SmartPower HDR™ technology dynamically adjusts voltage based on the content displayed, unlike traditional HDR modes that use fixed high voltage, leading to unnecessary power consumption [4]. - In typical usage scenarios, such as web browsing or document editing, SmartPower HDR™ can maintain lower voltage levels, while higher voltage is provided for high-quality gaming or video playback [4]. - The technology can reduce power consumption related to OLED pixel illumination by up to 22% in general usage and by up to 17% when playing HDR content, achieving power levels comparable to SDR mode in typical scenarios [4][5]. Group 2: Collaboration and Future Plans - Since signing a memorandum of understanding with Intel in February 2025, Samsung Display has been closely collaborating with Intel to advance the development of SmartPower HDR™ technology [4]. - Samsung Display plans to continue improving this technology and develop a series of low-power OLED technologies to support the widespread adoption of high-quality HDR content on laptops [5]. - Intel's VP Todd Lewellen highlighted that displays account for over half of a laptop's total power consumption, making them a key target for energy efficiency improvements [5].
