Samsung Mobile Display unveils next-gen OLED displays at CES 2010

LAS VEGAS, USA: Samsung Mobile Display (SMD) will be demonstrating three leading-edge, next generation OLED displays at Pepcom’s Digital Experience! press event during the Consumer Electronic Show, at the Mirage Hotel on Wednesday, January 6th from 7 to 10 pm.

1. A 14-inch qFHD 3D OLED prototype: ‘Crosstalk Free’
This 14-inch 3D panel is the world's first OLED display that features qFHD resolution (960x 540), a contrast ratio of 100,000:1, a color gamut of over 100% NTSC and a ultra-slim design with a panel thickness of only 1.6mm – providing outstanding brightness and exceptional image quality.

Image switching on this prototype panel is fast enough to eliminate optical crosstalk between the two 3D images.

2. A 14-inch qFHD Transparent OLED for Note PCs: World's first and largest
SMD is showing the world’s first and largest transparent OLED panel prototype, designed for use in applications from smartphones, MP3s and Note PCs to ‘head-up’ displays for vehicles, and advertisement displays that are interactive and eye-catching.

When the screen is off, the prototype has up to a 40 percent transparency. The average amount of transparency in the industry is below 25 percent.

As SMD’s transparent OLED for Note PCs represents the highest resolution on the largest screen with high transparency, it should soon be used to display actual transparent products.

3. A 2-inch Electronic-ID OLED operated by RF Power
An electronic ID card prototype featuring a new chip that stores personal information like an identification number.

RF-powered AMOLED (Active Matrix Organic Light-Emitting Diode) technology is used for the enhanced electronic ID cards, taking security to a higher level. It can also securely store biographical information and digital imagery in the card.

The screen requires no additional battery power, and instead can draw power from a nearby RF-powered source that is AMOLED adapted.

Some potential applications for the prototype include:
* ID document – e-ID; eVisa on passport; driver’s licenses.
* Dynamic security feature for banking & e-commerce – online transactions; credit cards.
* Travel and Transport – vehicle registration cards.
