Samsung Display (Korean: 삼성디스플레이) is a company selling display devices with OLED and QD-OLED technology. Display markets include smartphones, TVs, laptops, computer monitors, smartwatches, VR, game consoles, and automotive applications.

Headquartered in South Korea, Samsung Display has production plants in China, Vietnam, and India, and operates sales offices in six countries. Samsung Display enabled the first mass-production of OLED and quantum dot display and aims to develop next-generation technology such as slidable, rollable and stretchable panels.

As the LCD business spun off from Samsung Electronics, Samsung Display Corporation was established on April 1, 2012. The company launched on July 1 by merging Samsung Electronics’ LCD business, S-LCD Corporation(manufacturer of amorphous TFT LCD panels) and Samsung Mobile Display(Samsung’s OLED arm). By combining the OLED and LCD businesses, Samsung Display became the world's largest display company.
