Samsung unveils a new microLED The Wall display, with upgraded performance, smaller LEDs and a thinner profile

Samsung Electronics announced a new microLED The Wall IWA display module, that offers upgraded performance and a thinner profile compared to its current displays. It has installed the first such display at its Suwon office, a 1,000-inch display (8K resolution).

Samsung says that the new module uses LED chips that are 40% smaller compared to current models (for which the chip size is around 100 um so the new ones are likely to be around 60 um). The new TVs support a refresh rate of 120Hz, 8K resolution, a brightness of 1,600 nits and a new enhanced AI processor.

Samsung also says that the new microLED tiles will be much thinner - almost half the thickness of its previous models, which will make the display easier to install and handle. It will also enable installations that are not flat - like concave or convex shapes, etc.
