More Samsung tablets with AMOLED displays coming this year?

Samsung-Galaxy-Tab-7.7-4

AMOLED is a great technology that I personally appreciate, even if it has some drawbacks that make it unappealing to color purists.

The technology is wildly popular on the smartphone market, mainly thanks to Samsung’s efforts, but it failed to really catch on for tablets displays. That might change though, according to a recent report from Oled-Info.

According to an unnamed “industry insider”, Samsung is considering an investment in a 6.5G factory that would produce medium size panels OLED for tablets and laptops. Currently, the electronics giant has production lines for small-sized panels like the ones fitted on the Galaxy S3 and the Galaxy Note 2, and also for large panels, which are installed on Sammy’s newly unveiled OLED HDTVs.

Samsung officials are reported to be mulling focusing on the middle segment, after the markets shown signs of openness towards AMOLED. So far, the company only produced one tablet featuring an AMOLED display, the Galaxy Tab 7.7. If this report is to be believed, we might see AMOLED displays on tablets of all sizes, laptops, and Chromebooks, as soon as this year.

Oled-Info notes that Samsung hasn’t made the final decision, and, even if the company decides to double down on mid-sized AMOLED displays this year, it might not be until 2014 that we see a wave of devices sporting them.

Are you excited about this report? Do you wish to see more tablets with AMOLED displays?

Wow an whole ad for brown version gs4 , so much money is wasted on marketing , they should have used that money for making 32gb and 64gb s4 version and delivering it fast as possible .

  Ummm….the ad was not at all trying to showcase the brown S4. The ad was obviously simply showcasing the phones features. You must not have watched it. There is no need to rush out 32gb & 64gb models. That’s what a SD card is for. I have 150+ apps, tons of music, video, pics, nand backups…you name it. All of this on my 16gb S4. Mind boggling how that can work…eh.

@Piyush
They have money for that… they don’t have to save an ad to do that. We’re talking about production issues. You have to remember Sammy busts out gaziilion smartphones. I hope the new automation process will help with that tho.
