This 10.1-inch tablet panel is capable of 300 cd/m2 of luminance, yet uses 40 percent less power than that used by legacy RGB stripe LCDs in power-saving modes.Īn outdoor brightness mode of as much as 600 cd/m2 luminance enables viewing in bright ambient lighting. Lightness and power efficiency of the display are critical factors since higher resolution displays typically draw more power.
“In order to develop tablets with the form and function that consumers demand, a design engineer ultimately has to determine how to get the highest resolution display possible, while still fitting within the overall power budget for their design,” said Joel Pollack, executive vice president of Nouvoyance, Samsung’s affiliate company that developed the PenTile RGBW technology. Samsung expects to have commercial availability of this technology for tablet applications later this year.īecause tablets are regularly used for viewing rich-colored images, the 10.1-inch 300 dpi display is ideal for applications that require extraordinary image and text clarity such as browsing the web and viewing high-definition movies, or reading books and spreadsheets. The prototype demonstration marks the first time this resolution has been available for the tablet market in the popular – 10.1-inch – format, rivaling the highest resolution smartphone displays now on the market. LOS ANGELES-(BUSINESS WIRE)-At the SID Display Week 2011 International Symposium (LA Convention Center, Booth 707) May 17-19, Samsung Electronics is demonstrating the industry’s first 10.1-inch WQXGA (2560 x 1600) format PenTile™ RGBW tablet display, an ultra-high resolution, liquid crystal display (LCD). PenTile RGBW is the only display to optimize balance between power efficiency and high performance viewing in tablets Samsung Electronics and Nouvoyance Demonstrate 10.1-inch, 300dpi WQXGA PenTile RGBW Prototype Display for Tablet Market That's WQXGA (2560x1600) if you were wonderfing :D Sungtae Shin, Senior VP of Samsung Electronics. There is no other commercial display technology on the market today that offers this high of a resolution and pixel density in a 10.1-inch size display,” said Dr.
“Samsung’s PenTile display technology is the only display technology that operates at 40 percent less power yet provides twice that of Full HD-viewing performance for consumers compared to legacy RGB stripe LCDs. Samsung and Nouvoyance have demonstrated a 300dpi 10.1" display for tablets! :eek: I'll bet I can get it to work, though, based on some other tricks I've read. :)įollow-up: Nope! Doesn't work on my stock (but rooted) Samsung Galaxy Tab. You know, for a device released at around the same time as the N900, this thing has REALLY made up for the high price that both devices were sold for. I was easily and quickly editing my queue and even watched a little Top Gear via wifi streaming. I haven't tried installing it on my Samsung Galaxy Tab yet, but it's working GREAT even on my lowly old original Motorola Droid. Netflix app ported to Droid X, Droid 2, and OG Droid () you could do what I did and install a tweaked copy.
Only some HTC devices and Nexus S supported! BOO!Ĭoded in Java, this could be available across all devices.ĮDIT: Here are some first impressions (HTC Incredible) say, isn't it AWESOME that Nokia N900 has Flash too? ) You go, Nokia! Go go go! :P For those that don't know, Flash 11 includes a 3D API codenamed 'molehill' that will allow for impressive 3D games. When Flash 11 hits, that will be a very significant day. Flash 3 has been released, with bug-fixes and speed enhancements in tow:
