Although plenty of CES announcements cover gadgets that you'll be able to buy in the near future, it's also a chance to get a glimpse at what could be coming down the pike years from now. And personally, if we're talking prototypes, there's no company more exciting than Samsung Display.

Samsung's slim and stylish 4K QLED TV hits its second best price ever
It's no challenge these days to find a 4K TV that delivers great picture quality. Just about all of them look incredible, with HDR and display technology reaching a point where it can be difficult telling them apart. Some may have a slightly clearer picture or a wider range of colors, but for the most part once you get to higher priced models, the differences can be hard to discern. That's why, when shopping for a new TV, concerns like design start becoming more and more important, helping them really stand out.
New Samsung Display tech can read fingerprints from anywhere on the screen
It'll also be able to read your heart rate and blood pressure
Samsung phones have always been known for their spectacular displays. In fact, one of the reasons the S23 Ultra landed on our best Android phones list was because its screen was the head of its class. As other companies inch closer to the visual quality of Samsung's displays, the South Korean company is looking to widen the gap again. This time, it's working on a new OLED panel that will be able to read fingerprints from anywhere on the screen.

Samsung could ditch ultra-thin glass for its biggest foldable screens yet
Would you trade display clarity for better durability?
Samsung’s foldable smartphone designs have evolved significantly since the first generation Galaxy Fold — and that whole mess with peeling off the protective screen layer from early units. Advancements in material science for displays are partly to thank for the abuse foldables can withstand now. While the company's current models use Ultra Thin Glass (UTG), that may not be up to scratch (literally) for tablet-sized screens, and Samsung Display is reportedly now considering a switch to a different material for the top layer of extra-large-screen foldables.
Demand for mixed-reality displays might push Samsung Display to get serious about micro-OLED
The industry needs more suppliers to step up
Samsung Display supplies screens for all kinds of devices, ranging from OLED smartphones to large QLED TVs. Now with growing interests in all things metaverse, the wearable headset industry finds itself in immediate need of high-grade extremely compact displays. Samsung Display sounds like it may be putting itself in a position to rise to that challenge, and new supply chain reports suggest Apple and Samsung have sought micro-OLED panels from the company.
Samsung Display teases us with some awesome-looking foldable concept devices
My screen don't jiggle jiggle, it folds
Foldable screens transitioned from being a pipe dream to an actual product in 2019 with the launch of Samsung's original Galaxy Fold. In 2020, the company unveiled an all-new form factor with the Galaxy Z Flip, and successive models have proved it's not just a fleeting gimmick. While the Flip and Fold series currently headline Samsung's foldable efforts — and some of the best phones around — that doesn't necessarily mean its Display division hasn't been looking at more form factors. With the return of Display Week's live exhibitions this year, it's the perfect time to show off some of those futuristic concepts.

Samsung starts selling the Galaxy Z Flip's ultra-thin glass to other manufacturers
Get ready for a galaxy full of flip phones
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip is the first folding phone with a glass display — an impressive feat, though so far, it hasn't exactly proven to be very durable. The company still believes in its product and has decided to commercialize and scale up production of the Z Flip's display cover (not the OLED panel itself, but the layer on top of it). The ultra-thin glass (UTG) will be available for purchase for other manufacturers building foldable devices.
