According to Samsung head of worldwide sales and marketing for PCs Kyu Uhm, OLED notebooks should be coming in 2010, as long as the industry continues to push for them.
Uhm, speaking at the ongoing IFA event in German, says: "Samsung is the largest OLED screen manufacturer. And as soon as it's available commercially for laptops we will adopt it. Probably sometime Q3 next year."
Samsung European product manager Patrick Povel, adds, via Electronista, that OLED-based notebooks will be the industry standard by 2014, citing numerous Gartner reports.
OLED is coming into favor because of how thin screens can be made with them, lower power consumption and much better color palettes as well as higher contrast ratios. OLED is currently used in MP3 players and other smaller devices, but has yet to hit mainstream in HDTVs due to high costs.
