samsung amoled

You know that 7 inch AMOLED display Samsung was showing off in some netbook prototypes yesterday? It looks like it’s set to go into production in early 2010 with the goal of fitting it into netbooks, eBook readers and other devices like VoIP phones.

Netbooked got a chance to check the displays out in person and shot a short video which you can check out after the break. You can also find more photos at Netbooked.

The display has a 1024 x 600 pixel resolution, a 100,000:1 contrast ratio, and 300cd/m2 brightness.

  • IMO; OLED is the future of computer displays. It uses less engergy and crisper/clearer than regular LCD screens. I hope they sell it at a reasonable price. A netbook with an OLED screen is ideal for the above reasons.

    Netbook with an OLED is a total misunderstanding. OLED displays are purely active screens, relying only on their own light to show image; nobody has yet made transflective version of them (if it can even be done...)

    So yeah, when there's not a lot of light around (like...in a computer show floor) they might look gorgeous. They might even still look like that when used on a TV, or desktop replacement laptop (both used pretty much only inside). But when there's really a lot of light around, the only thing left is to crank up the brightness. And that can't go far in battery powered device. Screens that _reflect_ the light OTOH - even bright sunlight won't swamp them; in fact they rely on it to remain crisp and usable.

    For truly portable devices - screens that can also reflect light are a much better idea. Check how it is in cellphones: http://www.allaboutsymbian.com/features/item/Su... there is an AMOLED screen there, and it looks really bad compared to transflective screens. PixelQi would work good too...
