Super AMOLED: introduction and market status - Page 27

Here's a nice video with a Samsung employee explaining all about Super AMOLEDs:

Mobile-Review.com has posted a preview of the new Samsung Wave with the Super-AMOLED. And they absolutely love the display. It's great under sunlight, it is bright with unbelievable colors, it's got better lifetime (Samsung say that this is because there are less 'layers of air'). And the touch is very responsive - even better than the iPhone's display. 

They continue to say that the screen is marvelous, extremely bright and crisp. It is the best they have seen in any portable device: "After the S8500, the displays found in the Nexus and other phones seem bleak and lifeless". They posted a few of photos showing the Wave next to a Nexus One and to a Nokia X6. The difference is showing, alright, click on the photos to see it better (the Wave Super-AMOLED is on the top on both photos):

The Samsung Wave with its Super AMOLED display compared to an iPhone:

We've got the first video showing how the new Samsung Wave phone (with the Super-AMOLED display) behaves outdoors. It seems that the visibility is great... We're still waiting for a video that shows it besides another phone outside so that we can get a good comparison.

Talking about the Wave phone, here's a nice video of it alongside an iPhone. The viewing angle is vastly better...

Samsung has officially announced the s8500 Wave phone: with a 3.3" super AMOLED display and running the new Bada OS. The phone also has bluetooth 3.0 (another world's first). Interestingly, a few weeks ago we reported that Samsung are planning a Bluetooth 3.0 phone, which will have 'anti-reflective' and suitable for outdoor use'. So now we know that they have described the Super-AMOLED display.

Update: It turns out that the phone will be called S8500 Wave.

Engadget reports that Samsung is set to unveil a new smartphone that runs the new Bada-OS (this was actually rumored a few weeks ago). The actual announcement to take place on February 14th. It'll probably have an AMOLED - one of those new 3.3" touch-enabled AMOLEDs (so called "super AMOLED"). It'll hardly be a surprise as it seems that Samsung is using AMOLED in all high-profile phones these days...

Samsung is said to unveil the first phone to use their new 3.3" touch-enabled AMOLED displays announced last week. Those displays (which Samsung calls super AMOLED) have a 480x800 resolution, with a touch-sensor over the mirror display. The thickness of the touch sensor is just 0.001mm. Samsung claims that these displays are five-times more clear or vivid, and perform 20% better when used outdoors. Perhaps this is the same technology as used in their upcoming GT-8500, which is said to have a special 'anti-reflective OLED'.

Update: Samsung has offically launched this phone as the s-8500 Wave, with a 3.3" Super-AMOLED.

Samsung has a new phone, the GT-8500. It's the first phone that has Bluetooth 3.0. But that's not the most interesting bit - it has a 3.1" touch OLED that Samsung say is "anti-reflective" and thus suitable for outdoor use. It'll be interesting to see how it behaves in direct sun, and to hear what exactly makes it anti-reflective...

OLEDs has been said to have poor sunlight visibility, although newer OLEDs are reportedly better.

Samsung Mobile Display announced that they will begin to produce AMOLED panels with integrated touch function. They will begin to produce the first panel, a 3.3" WVGA, 480x800 one in March. Samsung brands these display Super-AMOLED.

Samsung makes Super AMOLEDs by layering a touch-sensor (on-cell) over the OLED display and evaporating it. The thickness of the touch sensor is just 0.001mm - which should allow the screen to provide better images than normal AMOLEDs with an external touch layer, especially under direct light.
