Samsung is working on a new display refresh rate technology for mobile devices. His new patent application describes a display technology that can apply different frequencies simultaneously across multiple areas of the display.

It could be Samsung's next evolutionary step in mobile display refresh rates. Advice Galaxy The S20 was the first to have a fixed 120Hz refresh rate. Last year's and this year's series Galaxy The S21 and S22 came with improved AMOLED displays and variable refresh rate, which means the AMOLED panels can adjust the refresh rate according to the content on the screen to save battery.

Samsung is now apparently working on the evolution of variable refresh rate. His new patent describes "a method of controlling a display with multiple refresh rates" and "an electronic device that controls a plurality of display areas of a display with different control frequencies." In other words, this technology could be able to render one part of the display at 30 or 60 Hz and another at 120 Hz.

In theory, the system could use the high refresh rate of 120 Hz only partially, where it is important, while displaying other parts of the content in the same scene at a lower frequency. This technology could thus lead to further advances in battery life. It is worth noting that the patent was already submitted by Samsung at the beginning of last year and only now was published by the service CYPRUS (Korea Intellectual Property Rights Information Search). We can only speculate at this point as to when this technology might be available, but it is not out of the question that it could be "brought out" by the series Galaxy S23. Or it is also possible that it will not go into production at all, as is often the case with patents.
