Samsung to mass produce 3.3-inch touch-embedded AMOLED panels




Need a mystery to keep you bewildered? Here's one: that layer of
nothingness between the touch-sensing glass and the display on your
phone. Whatever that is, Samsung's about to
blow it away with a new 3.3-inch WVGA AMOLED touchscreen
coming in March. The magic lies in the on-cell touch technology --
0.001mm-thick capacitive touch sensors are deposited between the
panel's substrate and the bottom polarizer film, thus removing the
usual touchscreen glass cover and the gap that follows. If all goes
well, Samsung should be delivering thinner and lighter phones with
slightly brighter touchscreens in a few months' time, or possibly
phones in the current package but with bigger batteries. Sorry,
LCD, but we've got a new crush to focus on.
