This article covers all laptops with OLED screens. We will list OLED laptops currently on the market or soon to be released, and we will continue to update this list when a new laptop with an OLED screen is released.
In mid-February 2019, the first laptop with a 15.6-inch Samsung OLED screen will be mass-produced. From the specification and design, it will undoubtedly set off a new wave of high-end design, just one month ago on CES 2019, Lenovo, Hewlett-Packard has also announced that it will launch a 15.6-inch AMOLED screen laptop in 2019. It seems that many OEM manufacturers will release more OLED laptops this year.
OLED (Organic Light Emitting Display) is a new type of screen, the biggest difference between it and the LCD is that the pixels of the LCD does not emit light, but the pixels of the OLED are self-illuminating and do not require an external light source. It uses a very thin organic material coating and a glass substrate. These organic materials illuminate when current is passed through. Moreover, the OLED screen can be made lighter and thinner; it has a larger viewing angle and can significantly save power consumption. It is generally believed that OLED technology is more advanced than LCD.
Advantage
1. Unlike the glass display used in LCD devices, the plastic substrate of OLED is shatterproof.
2. Better image quality: OLEDs have greater contrast and wider viewing angles than LCDs.
3. The components of the OLED panel can be made lighter, thinner, and more power-efficient because they do not require additional light source components.
4. Compared to LCD, OLED has a shorter response time.
Disadvantage
1. The biggest technical problem of OLED panels is the limited lifetime of organic materials.
2. Since blue-emitting OLED materials degrade faster than other color materials, the blue output will be less than other colors.
3. Water can instantly damage the organic material of the display. Therefore, improving the sealing process is important for actual production.
4. OLED screens consume a lot of power when displaying images with a white background (such as documents or websites).
5. Burning screen problem: Due to the difference in each pixel displayed on the screen, the aging speed of each position will be different.
6. OLED panels are very difficult to produce and expensive.

Summary
As a brand-new type of screen, the OLED screen is not widely used in laptops, the related technology is not mature enough, and some problems need to be solved urgently. However, with the development of technology, I believe that this problem will soon be solved. I think it will be very convenient for people. If you want to try something fresh, you can try it now. As the star of tomorrow, the OLED laptop still has a lot of space for development.
