Samsung teases AI OLED Cassette and Turntable — display division stretches the feasible use cases for its latest tech at CES 2026

Samsung is teasing some intriguing new OLED products, ready to showcase at CES 2026 over the next few days. Samsung Display’s press release highlights the flexible solutions that its latest OLED technologies can enable, by outlining “several speaker-type AI assistant concepts.” In addition to the (predictable) cute robot and mood lamps, it shared images of the eyebrow-raising AI OLED Cassette and AI OLED Turntable.
A next-gen lineup of OLED products is promised by Samsung Display for CES 2026, under the banner of ‘A New Era of Experience, Powered by AI & Display.’ The exhibition seems a reasonable proposition, but it is sometimes surprising what products have made it through brainstorming and multiple revisions (we would expect) to make it to the show floor.
What caught our attention in this latest news were the “Edge Device concept models that illustrate how OLED could elevate AI-driven lifestyles when applied to AI-enabled form factors.”
Samsung gently introduces the ideas of an AI OLED Bot and an AI OLED Mood Lamp as demo platforms for its circular OLED displays and AI assistant tech. These seem like well-trodden product ideas, even if the displays are quite special, some of the company’s most advanced.

Sadly, deep details of the headlining pair of devices are not available today. The AI OLED Cassette is built around a pair of 1.5-inch round OLED displays (or more). We can see one features a smartwatch style interactive display, and the other a status page. There also seems to be a lozenge shaped display above these circular OLEDs with an interactive tuning dial, or something like that.
Samsung Display’s AI OLED Turntable is even more intriguing, based around a circular 13.4-inch OLED. The second of its retro-analog devices appears to be touch controlled. What the practical, or fun, use of such a large circular touch display is, in an AI OLED turntable device, isn’t obvious at this time.

We’ve had fun looking at Samsung Display’s productized flights of fancy – even if it prefixes then all with ‘AI.’ However, there’s some really worthwhile advances highlighted in its PR.
