Samsung Display Co., Ltd. (Korean: 삼성디스플레이) is a manufacturer of OLED and QD-OLED panels, and former manufacturer of liquid crystal displays (LCDs). Display markets include smartphones, TVs, laptops, computer monitors, smartwatches, virtual reality, handheld 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 displays and aims to develop next-generation technology such as slidable, rollable and stretchable panels.

The company was established as S-LCD Corporation in April 2004 in Chungcheongnam-do as a joint venture between Samsung Electronics (51% share) and Sony Corporation (49% share) to manufacture amorphous TFT LCD panels. As of April 2008 the company reported a monthly production capacity of 150,000 LCD panels, including 50,000 based on PVA technology, which were integrated into both Samsung and Sony LCD televisions. S-LCD originally had production facilities in both Japan and South Korea. Samsung later acquired all of Sony's shares in S-LCD in January 2012.

Samsung Display Corporation was established on April 1, 2012. The company launched on July 1 by merging S-LCD Corporation and Samsung Mobile Display (Samsung's OLED manufacturing division), becoming the world's largest display company.[clarification needed] Samsung Display ended its manufacturing of LCD panels in June 2022, becoming a manufacturer of solely OLED panels.

As of 2025, Samsung Display held 68 million shares in Corning Inc., resulting from its CRT glass joint venture with the company in the past.
