Taiwanese company AU Optronics claims they have produced the world’s first Quad HD AMOLED display to be shown at the China Electronic Information Expo (CITE 2014) this week. According to AU Optronics, the new screen is 5.7-inches in size running at 2560 x 1440 resolution which produces 513 ppi. For comparison, the Oppo Find 7a will come with a 5.5-inch 538 ppi Quad HD screen and the Vivo Xplay 3S is currently selling with a 6-inch display running at 490 ppi. However, both of those units utilize LCD technology.
In addition to the 5.7-inch screen, AU Optronics says they also have a 6-inch AMOLED panel running Quad HD. Other panels the company says they have developed include a 1.6-inch AMOLED display intended for wearable devices as well as a 5-inch, 720p AMOLED display that is only .57mm thick, one of the thinnest available. AU Optronics is working a variety of other display panels in various sizes at more common resolutions like 1920 x 1200 to go with the 4K LCD TV panels they produce.
According to sources, AU Optronics supplies panels to a variety of customers, including Samsung, so it is not clear where we may see these new panels show up. No doubt Samsung’s own display division is working on similar technology as it has been rumored to be present in a variety of devices, possibly including the Galaxy Note 4. With more companies like AU Optronics hitting the 500 ppi mark for Quad HD screens, it seems that will soon be the new benchmark for mobile devices.
