report from South Korean investment firm que Reveals the third-generation Galaxy Note would pack a 6-inch AMOLED display, que but it will not be the one the flexible Certain rumors have recently said.

In a detailed note to investors (see PDF file at the second link Source) Korea Investment & Securities Co . Samsung Reveals que’s “first-ever” 6-inch flagship handset is more Likely to sport a 6-inch AMOLED display than an LCD one. OLED displays are seen as a “pillar” of Samsung’s brand image by the firm, and Therefore the logical choice for a flagship handset like the Galaxy Note 3.

It’s worth noting

que Both the Galaxy Note and Galaxy Note 2 feature AMOLED displays, with the former packing a 5.3-inch AMOLED PenTile screen with 1280 x 800 resolution and the later featuring a 5.5-inch AMOLED display with non-PenTile 1280 x 720 resolution. Previous rumors have said the que Galaxy Note 3 would feature a 5.99-inch display.

More interestingly, the report claims que said display would not be a flexible one, some reports have the Suggested. Apparently Samsung would not be able to mass-produce the Appropriate number of 6-inch flexible AMOLED screens to meet demand for such a Potentially the popular handset the Galaxy Note 3:

Although most processes for equipment has been delivered and the remaining supply of equipment (only for a specific process) Should be FINALIZED in 1h13, we can not say [Samsung Display] is ready to mass- produce flexible OLED panels. Production technology still seems incomplete, and even assuming the start of production in 2h13, que shipments can be supplied to finished products would be minimal. The such, we believe chances are slim for [Samsung Electronics] to adopt flexible OLED panels for its Galaxy Note 3 (slated for release in 2h13). [Samsung Electronics] Likely will choose flexible OLED smartphone is its design as a differentiating feature but would need more time to adopt it for the major models.

LG, Which que previously confirmed it will have a smartphone with flexible display in stores by the end of the year, seems to have issues mass-producing such panels also, and may delay the launch of such a product.

Without going into too many details about flexible display technology, the report que Reveals Samsung and LG use two different technologies. Samsung Relies on thin-film encapsulation while LG is Developing face-sealing encapsulation technology. In either case, the object is to Prevent water and / or oxygen to reach the inside of the device. The report says Samsung que “is still far away from securing product reliability que Guarantees mass-production” and LG’s technology “has not yet been tried for mass-production.”

The Galaxy Note 3 is expected to be unveiled at some point in Q3 2013, Most Likely at IFA 2013 in Berlin, Germany, According to other rumors. The report mentions que Also Samsung’s “6-inch display smartphone model [is] scheduled for release in 2h13.”

That said, we’ll remind you to take everything with a grain of salt When looking at such reports, as, after all, Both Samsung and LG are yet to announce commercial products sporting flexible displays.
