Galaxy Z Fold 3 display uses a more power-efficient Eco OLED tech

The camera below the Galaxy Z Fold 3 display screen, which Samsung officially refers to a sub-panel or UPC camera, may have stolen the strongest ETG material focus (thin ultral glass). His addition, even if disappointing for some, was not just a matter of slapping some technology outside the shelf and calling him one day. Samsung’s visualization arm now has revealed that the Galaxy Z Fold 3 really uses a new type of OLED panel that has the side effect of improving that invisible camera, at least in theory.

A conventional OLED screen is composed of an OLED panel that actually holds the diodes and a plastic polarizer at the top that reduces the reflection of the light and increases the contrast. In the case of a folding device such as double galaxy z, there is another layer at the top of the two, the Samsung Ultra-Thin glass. The new technology, called ECO OLED, reduces layers by eliminating the polarizer of the equation.

Eco OLED employs a different strategy of using the pixel structure to minimize reflection and eliminate the need to have a polarizer. That layer is most of the time, a dark film layer that requires the OLED panel underneath to emit more light and, therefore, consume more energy. When eliminating the polarizer, Samsung affirms that Eco OLED can consume 25% less power and increase the transmittance rate by 33%.

There are other side effects to this technology. One is that the reduction of the amount of plastic used in the phone makes it more respectful with the environment. Perhaps the most important benefit for end users is that more light is capable of moving to the camera under the screen without the polarizer interpose on the road.

That may sound great in theory, but the initial feedback in the Galaxy Z Fold 3 Underground Panel Chamber has not been flattering. That said, Samsung sees it clearly as the future, or at least plans to expand its new Eco OLED technology to more products.
