Prepare For CMEL’s 3.5-inch AMOLED Panel

Taiwan's Chi Mei EL Corportation, or shortly CMEL, is a producer that already offers a few AMOLED panels, and they just announced a new such panel that's likely to be produced in the near future. At this time, CMEL offers 2.2-inch and 2.8-inch panels, and a 4.3-inch model is already announced to start shipping in the second quarter of the year, according to company's president, Peter Chen.

In the image above, you can see the 2.8-inch AMOLED display from CMEL, used in a digital photo frame manufactured by the Chinese company Digital Foci. Since between the existing 2.8-inch display and the 4.3-inch one that has been announced there's quite a gap, CMEL needs to close this gap and, as Chen himself said, the product to do this is going to be a 3.5-inch display, probably, since this screen size became so popular with devices like the iPhone.

Since I mentioned the iPhone, it seems that, according to some sources, Apple may use AMOLED panels for the next-gen iPhone. Hopefully, the life span of such displays will be extended until that happens, because I wouldn't like to have an expensive mobile with a display that may "die" on me after about 5,000 hours...
