Samsung’s Next-Gen Display Can Measure Heart Rate and Blood Pressure Through Your Fingertip

The 6.8-inch panel uses Organic Photodiodes to read heart rate and blood pressure from a finger while keeping health data private.

  • At Display Week 2026 in Los Angeles, Samsung unveiled its 6.8-inch Sensor OLED Display, integrating health sensors directly into the panel to measure heart rate and blood pressure.
  • The display allows users preferring traditional watches to access health tracking features by detecting blood flow through light emitted from the screen itself.
  • Engineers combined OLED pixels with Organic Photodiodes in a single layer, achieving 500 PPI resolution—a 33% improvement over last year's Display Week showcase.

  • The company separately showcased its Flex Chroma Pixel OLED panel, reaching up to 3,000 nits in High Brightness Mode using LEAD technology for improved efficiency.
