Samsung updates on AMOLED displays

Samsung (or actually Lee Woo-Jong, SMD’s marketing VP) is giving us some interesting updates on their AMOLED displays and production plants. So first of all, they expect the new 5.5-Gen plant to start mass producing in July 2011. The new plant will increase Samsung’s AMOLED capacity ten-fold: from 3 million displays a month to 30 million (assuming all displays made in the new plant will be around 3″). Samsung also says that they now expect AMOLED screens shipments to reach 700 million by 2015 ( in May, they said it’ll be 600 ). read more

Sony shows new NWZ-S754 walkman, might have an OLED

Sony is showing a new Walkman, the NWZ-S754. Engadget says that the contrast looks so good that it could be an OLED. It looks very much like the NW-A840 which do have a 2.8″ OLED (Sony released quite a few OLED walkmans in the past few years). Beside the beautiful display, the NWZ-S765 has 8GB memory (at least in the model they’re showing at the IFA show). It comes in black or silver.

OLED commercialization is driving the growth of sealing, barrier and encapsulation technologies

Cintelliq has released a new report ( Encapsulation and barriers: A review of the patent landscape ) and say that “The commercialisation of OLED technology is driving the growth of sealing, barrier and encapsulation technologies”. OLEDs are responsible for more than 90% of the new patents in those technologies. “The increasing market acceptance of OLED based displays has been a major driver in the development of encapsulation systems, as OLED lighting begins to gain market adoption this too will also be a primary driver for further development. In fact the growth in encapsulation and barrier technologies has shown the same explosive growth OLED lighting has shown since 2000.”

AMOLED android handsets has the poorest battery life?

Someone did a battery-life comparison of several android handsets, and according to that test, handsets with AMOLED has the poorest battery life. LCD handsets are better (the Galaxy S, with its large Super-AMOLED display is in the middle). Of course the AMOLED display is not the only difference between those handsets. AMOLED should theoretically offer lower power consumption, but this is not the first time we hear that newer LCDs are actually better. For example, when HTC replaced AMOLEDs with LCDs in the Desire phones (and others), they said that the battery life is better with LCDs. The good news is that Samsung plans to soon double the efficiency of their AMOLED displays . AMOLEDs are at an early stage soon, so we can expect fast advances in all aspects, including efficiency. read more
