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.

Samsung netbook prototype with 7 inch OLED screen

samsung oled netbook

Samsung is showing off an interesting netbook prototype featuring a 7 inch AMOLED display. I actually kind of doubt that this is a real product so much as a showcase for the company’s display technology. But the devices features a 1024 x 600 pixel display with a brightness of 300cd/m2 and a 100,000:1 contrast ratio.

AMOLED stands for Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode, and the technology is a high quality alternative to the LCD screens found in most notebooks and monitors today. There are also OLEDs, but the active matrix variant uses less energy which is helpful if you’re trying to cram the display into a portable device like a netbook.
