Samsung’s SDI division today unveiled a demonstration computer it says represents the future of notebooks. The system uses a newly-developed 12-inch AMOLED (active matrix organic light-emitting diode) display that would match the resolution of a same-size LCD at 1280×768 but produce a much better picture: the inherent nature of the technology produces a contrast ratio about “20 times” higher than that of an LCD, Samsung claims.
Besides the improved picture quality, the self-illuminating screen’s lack of any need for a backlight also allows for an extremely thin display. A new silicon oxide manufacturing process should also make actual production AMOLED screens much more affordable at similar sizes than earlier AMOLED and regular OLED displays, which are often used for much smaller devices for cost reasons.
