Super AMOLED Plus - introduction and news - Page 7

Update: It turns out that the new manufacturing process that is discussed here is LITI (currently they use FMM). More details here!

We've got some interesting updates about Samsung's upcoming Super AMOLED Plus displays. We know that Samsung said that the new displays feature 50% more sub-pixels, and today we confirmed that Samsung no longer uses Pentile matrix in the new displays - which is great news - they are using regular RBG. Samsung's new manufacturing process allows them to reach over 300ppi - which is comparable to the iPhone 4 "Retina Display" (which features 326ppi).

Samsung Super AMOLED Plus display

The last bit of information is regarding the OLED materials - it turns out that Samsung aren't using a Green Phosphorescent material yet. The Super AMOLED Plus displays (like the first-gen Super AMOLED) use just a Red Phosphorescent with a Green and Blue Fluorescents.

There are reports that Samsung is set to announce the successor to the successful Galaxy S during MWC 2011 (Samsung officially said that they will announce new Super AMOLED Plus phones during the conference). The Galaxy S2 (not an official name yet) will have a 4.3" Super AMOLED Plus display, a dual-core processor, Android v2.3 and NFC support (as in Google's Nexus S phone which is made by Samsung).

This phone was actually leaked in November 2010. Back then it was said that the phone will include a 8mp camera (capable of Full-HD 1080p recording), 1.2Ghz processor, Android v2.3 and 16GB of on board memory.

Samsung says that they will show new phones in the Mobile World Congress (on February) - that will use Super AMOLED Plus displays. The phones will also feature Android v2.3 (Gingerbread) and dual-code processors.

The company also plans to announce new tablet computers (not clear whether they'll also do so in the MWC exhibition or at a later date) - new Galaxy Tabs. No word on the display used in those, but we know that Samsung will soon produce 7" Super AMOLED panels...

Samsung say they are developing a new 4G LTE smartphone for Verizon. It is currently called the "Samsung 4G LTE Smartphone" - and it has a 4.3" Super AMOLED Plus display. Other features include Android 2.2, 8mp camera and a 1Ghz CPU.

Here's a nice short video showing the new Samsung Infuse 4G phone, that one with the 4.5" Super AMOLED Plus display:

Update: We got some new details about these new displays.

Samsung has announced their latest AMOLED display, the Super AMOLED Plus. They say that the new display feature 50% more sub-pixels, and also features improvements in contrast and outdoor readability over the 'original' Super AMOLED displays. Samsung also announced the first phone to sport these new displays - the Infuse 4G. The display is a 4.5" one, the largest AMOLED Samsung ever made!

Back in July 2010, Samsung announced that they plan to soon double their AMOLED displays' efficiency, lifetime and power consumption. Perhaps the Super AMOLED Plus is the result of that research. We first heard of an upgrade to the Super-AMOLED technology in November 2010, we thought the name would be Super AMOLED 2.

Update: Samsung officially announced their new display, and it's called Super AMOLED Plus.

There are some very interesting reports about an upcoming flagship Android phone from Samsung coming in February 2011. The most interesting bit is the large (4.3" or 4.5") sAMOLED2 display - apparently Super AMOLED 2. Back in July 2010, Samsung announced that they plan to soon double their AMOLED displays' efficiency, lifetime and power consumption. Perhaps the Super AMOLED 2 is the result of that research.

Other features of this new phone include a 8mp camera (capable of Full-HD 1080p), 1.2Ghz processor, 14.4Mbps HSPA, Bluetooth 3 and 16GB of onboard memory. And it runs Android Gingerbread. This is all un-official yet, and in the above slide (which is said to be from Samsung) the photo is of an old VOiP phone which is strange.
