In addition to the new OLED TV panels, Samsung Mobile Displays is showing new smaller mobile OLED displays. These range from 3.2" to 7". The 3.2" is the one with 310ppi, reported earlier. Actually on their site, they list panels ranging from 2.2" to 5".
Samsung are also showing 4.82" and 12.1" transparent displays, ID card OLEDs and other displays.
Samsung Mobile Displays announced 14.1" and 31" OLED TV panels, using what they call Fine Metal Mask (FMM) technology. Those panels are 'ready for production'.
The 14.1" WXGA is aimed for laptop computers. It's got a 1366x768 resolution, 200cd brightness, color gamut of 107% NTSC and a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio. The whole panel is just 2.7mm thick.
The 31" FHD (1920x1080) TV panel is using LTPS, and also has 200cd brightness, color gamut of 107% NTSC and a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio. The panel is thicker at 8.9mm.

Samsung Mobile Displays announced a new AMOLED panel, with WVGA (800x480) resolution at 300 PPI. SMD says that the new panel will be shipping in 2009.
SMD claims the new AMOLED has 4 times the clarity of their current displays and has a 40% increase in power efficiency (although it's not clear, they might mean 40% decrease in power consumption compared to an LCD panel...).
Universal Display and the Flexible Display Center at Arizona State University has announced a significant milestone towards a manufacturable flexible OLEDs. The new display is the first a-Si:H AMOLED display to be manufactured directly on DuPont Teijin’s polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) substrate.
The companies will be showing a 4.1" monochrome QVGA flexible OLED at SID. This display has the same brightness as normal displays with extremely low power consumption. The flexible backplane display was manufactured at the Flexible Display Center utilizing a 180°C thin film transistor process. The FDC’s facility implements traditional flat panel and semiconductor tools and processes to achieve flexible displays, enabled by its proprietary bond-debond technology to secure the plastic substrate to a rigid carrier during manufacture.
Samsung has announced a new mobile phone, the 12-megapixel camera Pixon12 (M8910). It's the world's first 12Mp camera phone. The Pixen 12 also has a 3.1" touch-screen AMOLED with a 10,000:1 contrast ratio.

Other features include fast-image saving (only 2 seconds wait between shoots), touch auto-focus tracking, 28mm wide angle lens, Wi-Fi, HSUPA.
The phone will be released at the end of June in Europe, and then to other regions in August.
