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 recently showcased its 46-inch transparent display at the CES 2012 last week and they’ve now confirmed to start production of the same display. In addition to 22-inch transparent LCD panel, Samsung will sell the 46-inch to businesses for a variety of purposes.

Samsung says the display can be used for product showcases, commercial freezer doors, subway platform doors, information windows, e-signage and more.

The 46-inch transparent display boasts a contrast ratio of 4500:1, up to 1366×768 pixel resolution support and a 70 percent color gamut.

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.

Gadget concepts are generally farfetched imaginations of the designers and seldom turn into a real product. However, we do expect the concept shown in this video is turned into a reality in the near future.

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 has joined hands with Panasonic, Sony and XPAND 3D to develop a new technology standard for consumer 3D active glasses. Under the Full HD 3D Glasses Initiative, companies will work on the development and licensing of RF-based 3D active glasses technology which includes RF system protocols between 3D active glasses and 3D devices. The initiative will also support for Infrared protocols.

Companies will license in September 2011 to begin the standardization process whereas the first compatible glasses will arrive in 2012. It will be backward compatible with 2011 range of 3D active TVs.

Today’s announced collaboration underscores Samsung’s promise to meet consumer needs among the ever-changing advancements of home entertainment and consumer electronics technology.To-date, active 3D technology has proven to be the most popular choice for consumers in the 3D TV market. According to the NPD Group, Active 3D technology took an average of 96 percent share of the U.S. 3D TV market in the first half of this year; and this Full HD 3D Glasses Initiative will help further drive consumer adoption and understanding of active 3D—the technology that provides the clearest and most immersive 3D experience available.

Couple of things you can expect from this initiative is the price going down of the 3D glasses as well as compatibility of the glasses with different manufacturers.

According to an article on Korean site, ETNews Samsung is planning to launch a new smartphone in the first half of next year that will have a cover glass with an integrated touch screen. The G2 technology as it is called, will not use an Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) film that will help them to further shrink the thickness of the display panel and thus shaving off some millimeters from the phone. It is also reported to improve image quality.

To make this possible, Samsung’s Mobile division will invest 31 billion won in Samsung Fiber Optics, responsible for manufacturing.

Thanks, Jeonn!

Society for Information Display Names awarded best display technologies at the Display Week 2011 yesterday and one of Samsung displays managed to grab the ‘Best in Show’ award. The Korean giant received the award in the large exhibit category for showcasing the world’s first prototype of 70-inch ultra-definition 3D panel.

The display uses oxide semiconductor technology and allows 3D content up to a resolution of 3840×2160 pixels with 240Hz refresh rate.
