Samsung Display maintains a dominant position in the laptop OLED panel market, supplying over 70% of panels to major brands such as Lenovo, HP, Asus, Acer, and Dell. This high concentration of supply has led PC manufacturers to seek alternative sources, including BOE and EverDisplay, to improve bargaining power as the laptop OLED market expands.

In addition to its laptop market presence, Samsung Display is targeting the Chinese gaming sector through a new promotion. The company is collaborating with six monitor brands, including AOC, ASUS, and MSI, to certify local internet cafes, or i-Cafes, as official QD-OLED stores. This initiative aims to leverage the significant sales volume generated by these locations in the growing Chinese gaming monitor market.
