Samsung Mobile Display has showcased what seems to be the first ever Samsung Galaxy Tab with a 7″ Super AMOLED screen. According to OLED-Display, this 7″ screen capable of displaying 1200×600 pixels which is slightly more than the current 1024×600 pixels that we get from the current TFT-LCD Galaxy Tab.

Do note that this is just a prototype on display by Samsung Mobile Display at FPD International 2010. It is unknown whether Samsung will release such version for the Galaxy Tab but this demonstrates Samsung’s capability of making such display. Other interesting products on showcase also includes a flexible 4.5″ AMOLED display with 800×480 resolution.

With HTC announcing its switch to Sony’s Super LCD display, many are wondering how does Super LCD compare to AMOLED? Howard forums had recorded a video to compare LCD (Motorola Droid/Milestone), Super LCD (HTC Desire), AMOLED (Nexus One) and Super AMOLED (Samsung Wave) displays.

Overall, the Super LCD is very similar to AMOLED display unless it is viewed sideways where the AMOLED reign supreme. Contrast for the Super LCD still loses out to AMOLED display but it is barely noticeable. HTC did mentioned that using Super LCD will give “better” battery life compared to AMOLED but so far we haven’t heard anything that proves this.

In an official statement, HTC confirmed that they will be using Super LCD developed by Sony as displays in devices like the Desire and Nexus One.

Though not officially indicated in the statement, it is a widespread understanding that Samsung’s AMOLED display are in short supply and demand for HTC devices are strong that they have to look at other display alternatives to ensure that they are able to keep supply in check.

We haven’t had any experience with SLCD but it’s going to be interesting to see how it compares against AMOLED and Apple’s Retina Display technology.

Interestingly, when it comes to displays, Samsung is the world leader with 1 in 5 panel TVs being a Samsung.

Apple’s iPad which was just introduced internationally including our neighbouring Singapore has just hit a snag. According to reports, the iPad’s display supplier LG is facing production cut on its LCDs next month. This will eventually affect the iPad which is having high demands worldwide.

It was mentioned that the Apple ipad had sold as many as 3.47 million units now and LG is struggling to keep up with the demand. A research even forecasted that there would be around 13 million iPads sold by end of this year. That’s quite a lot of iPads especially when the rest of the world has yet to able to get it.
