Samsung has started mass production of Embedded Multi-Chip package (eMCP) memory to cater to the rising demand of entry and mid-level smartphones. The new eMCPs use Samsung’s 30nm-based LPDDR2 RAMs that deliver a data transmission speed of 1066Mbps and 20nm-class NAND flash memory.

Samsung says the new eMCP solution will help to deliver enhanced performance and a longer battery life, thus giving mobile phone manufacturers a simpler design process.

The new eMCP solution will come with 4GB of NAND flash memory along with choice of 256MB, 512MB, 768MB RAM.

Samsung showed off its transparent display technologies at the CES 2012. While we don’t have details on the big transparent display pictured above, the one pictured below is a 22-inch TFT LCD. It has a transparency of 15 percent, supports a resolution of 1680×1050 pixels and comes with an HDMI port.

The 22-inch display weighs just 800 grams.

UPDATE: The bigger screen is a 46-inch one with a resolution support of 1366×768 pixels. It also features an HDMI port.

Samsung has confirmed the commercial timeframe of its flexible displays in the Q3 2011 earnings call. Samsung expects to release the flexible display sometime next year, which could be in the earlier half. Samsung’s executive also said that the first device that will sport such a display could be a mobile handset which will then be expanded to tablets and other mobile devices.

Samsung and ARM have been collaborating closely for the past few years. Unsurprisingly, Samsung has confirmed that they’ll use ARM’s recently announced big.LITTLE processing technology in one of the upcoming Exynos System-on-Chip (SoC).

Scheduled for a release in 2012, Samsung’s Exynos SoC will take advantage of ARM’s Cortex-A7 and big.LITTLE technology.

I’m extremely excited to announce that Samsung will deliver a new Exynos processor in 2012 that leverages both the Cortex-A7 and big.Little technology to meet the crucial demands of always-on and always-connected computing.

Exynos processors, as we know, are built from scratch that powers Samsung’s flagship devices like Galaxy S II.

Samsung has confirmed to showcase a number of display technologies at the ongoing FPD International 2011 expo. Some of the technologies include a 10.1-inch WQXGA (2560×1600) display meant for tablets. The display is a PenTile one and uses Oxide Semiconductor tech.

Other display tech showcased at FPD International 2011 are:

9.7-inch XGA Color Reflective Electrowetting display
46-inch Transparent display
Solar-illuminated Transparent LCD panel
Dual-side Digital Information Display
75-, 55- and 46-inches Smart 3D TV panels with Super Narrow Bezel

Samsung Electronics recently introduced the new Series 7 All-in-one PC. Measuring at just 16mm and featuring a display that tilts 90 degrees and a 23-inch touch screen HD LED display, the PC is powered by the latest Intel Core i5/i3 processor.

Series 7 features Wi-Fi capability, touch screen, built-in webcam, wireless keyboard and a wireless mouse. It also comes integrated with two stereo speakers for a rich audio experience. The audio system is complemented by Samsung’s SoundAlive software to ensure the best possible quality surround sound.

The display has a resolution of 1920 x 1080 along with a 5ms response speed. Samsung’s Fast Start ‘Instant On’ feature enables users to get started within a few seconds of pressing the power button. An innovative hybrid sleep mode combines the fast start-up of sleep with the stability of hibernation.

The built-in 1.3-megapixel HD webcam allows you to video chat with your friends and family. With a 720p resolution, it provides sharper and smoother images in widescreen high definition.

In addition to the display technologies announced a few days back, Samsung is showcasing a few more at the SID Display Week 2011 in United States. Samsung is exhibiting displays related to 3D, low-power display technology and next-generation displays.

Some of the displays are:
70-inch 3D TV with 4K Ultra Definition using Oxide Semiconductor
23-inch full HD 3D monitor with integrated shutter technology
22-inch Transparent LCD TV
PenTile WQXGA display for tablets
Low-power PenTile display for HDTVs
e-Paper using Electrowetting that reduces power consumption and increase brightness
Display with Ultra-slim bezel
MEMS (Micro Electro-Mechanical System, micro-electromechanical systems) display technology
Displays with new VA mode enabling faster response time and improved viewing angle

Check out the first images of the 10.1-inch WQXGA display that were announced earlier today. The images here we’re told is a lab demo panel, which means the panel does not show the full performance and quality of the 2560×1600 pixel screen. However, the prototype that will be showcased by Samsung and Nouvoyance at SID Display Week will be an improved one.

The panel is meant for tablets that uses PenTile RGBW technology and has a brightness up to 300cd/m2 of luminance, 300dpi and a color gamut of 72 percent.

In addition to showcasing a high-resolution LCD for tablets, Samsung again teamed up with Nouvoyance to bring a display for HDTV that enables noticeable power savings. The new technology combines frame sequential color (FSC), PenTile technology and RGB local dimming that produces wide range of colors, eliminates color breakup and consumes just 25 percent power compared to current LCD TV technology.

Samsung says with the help of this combination they’ve managed to get a wider color gamut display with higher power efficiency that could be instrumental in production of new generation HDTVs with good picture quality.

Samsung and Nouvoyance have been able to blend fixed color filters with clear subpixels of FSC using a PenTile RGBCW (red, green, blue, cyan, and white) color filter array. A 2D dimming RGB backlight has been highly localized to work in conjunction with the PenTile RGBCW array. The PenTile technology’s white (W) subpixels are clear and capable of crisply transmitting Red, Green, or Blue light from the backlight as needed in any given display zone. Color breakup is nearly eliminated when the color primaries are independently chosen for each zone to minimize field-to-field color excursions of the FSC display. Algorithms have been developed to analyze images, calculate gamut mapping, determine subpixel rendering and control the backlight. These techniques will be demonstrated for both still and video images. For this technology demonstration, a 15.1-inch 816 x 490 LCD is used, but the panel can be readily scaled to larger sizes and finer resolutions.

Samsung’s newly developed prototype display will pave way for high-resolution displays in the upcoming tablets. They have teamed up with Nouvoyance to demonstrate the industry’s first 10.1-inch WQXGA (2560×1600 pixels) display at the SID Display Week 2011.

The screen boasts a 300dpi, which is more than double to what most tablets currently offer and is said to bring improved text and image clarity.

The display uses Samsung’s PenTile RGBW display technology that helps to achieve a brightness of 300cd/m2 of luminance or up to 600cd/m2 in bright sunlight. Additionally, the display consumes 40 percent less power and has a color gamut of 72 percent.

Samsung expects the commercial availability to be by later this year.
