Although we are going to file within a few hours at the IFA in Berlin, the first official pictures and specifications of Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 are already circulating on the net, and as it would not be otherwise, share them with you.

The new Samsung Android tablet amaze us with a screen Super AMOLED Plus generously sized 7.7 inches specifically, as we announced in the name itself. We remind you that Samsung S2 Galaxy screen device was the Super AMOLED larger.

The screen resolution is 1280 x 800 pixels, and the panel being a Super AMOLED Plus, do not use an array of pixels PenTile, so it will be a display to take into account your specifications.

In regard to the process, we find a 1.4GHz dual-core processor , it will use Samsung Galaxy Note. Other specifications are filtered its 5100 mAh battery, and the existence of versions 8, 16, 32 or 64 GB. Do not miss 2-megapixel front camera for video calls (Full Focus), and a 3-megapixel main (autofocus).

Samsung is responsible for the production of one of the types of screens for mobile devices of the moment, the range of AMOLED displays . These screens ensure a quality superior color LCD screen to present, alongside a smaller power consumption than these. Well, it was expected throughout 2011 , Samsung will begin to make screens 6 “and 9″ in order to provide their tablets of this type of display. Because of the disaster in Japan will have to postpone this production until 2012 at least.

Samsung introduced a prototype of a tablet with 7 “AMOLED screen, which managed to capture the attention of all, this meant that the vast majority of users wanted that kind of tablets come into production soon. And Samsung planned to start the manufacture of screens in the form of 6 “and 9″ would begin during 2011 to manufacture tablets to mount these great screens. Samsung Mobile Display, Samsung department which is responsible for researching and manufacturing their screens, is planning to eat in the manufacture of Super AMOLED displays for mobile handsets Plus during the second quarter of this year.
Consequences of the earthquake

This, coupled with the fact that Nikon, Japan earthquake and subsequent tsunami, can not provide the scanners required for the successful production by Samsung of their screens, Samsung has made the decision to delay entry into production of its larger AMOLED displays. We are all eager to enjoy tablets that incorporate this type of display for the benefits that involve, aside from the quality of image, also in energy saving, which is so scarce in all the latest devices. Unfortunately we have to wait until at least early 2012 to start producing these screens.

3D panels are already tangible, as announced in Seoul and was made ??public in a press release, already has begun production. This particular type of panels will be implemented in 3D TV and 3D LED LCD. If the production of LED TVs has marked a new era in the audiovisual sector, three-dimensional development starts to dial a new dimension in television entertainment market. At CES 2010 in Las Vegas and were allowed to see these new 3D devices with surprising results.

Production has its projection in six different types of panels using 3D Active Glasses technology Samsung’s technological system that locks each of the lenses glasses alternately, causing a momentary delay when displaying small images to each eye that can offer a more realistic three-dimensional images. This system dispenses with previous methods based on polarized lenses, which had the disadvantage of halving the resolution two-dimensional images since through each polarizing filter could only see half of each screen. In addition, polarizing filters have a tendency to diminish the brightness of the screen. Consequently, one of the main advantages of the new panels with 3D 3D Active Glasses Ihara is a possible natural and realistic images, alternating them for each eyes.

Another factor to consider is that it has decreased by 20% the response time of both LCD and LED panels, reducing it to less than 4 milliseconds, which eliminates the possibility of interference between guided imagery to each eye. This improvement in response time can provide natural 3D images, images that capture two-dimensional fast movements with remarkable clarity.  According to market research by DisplaySearch, it is estimated that the 3D TV market will grow significantly over the next decade. Faced with 200,000 units sold during the 2009 to 2018 are estimated to amount to 64 million.

We will not find anything to say that Samsung is a leader in display market and the development of its technologies. The Korean company is also responsible advertise technology in the different events in which it occurs.

Sometimes in commercial products, others in prototype form to dazzle the staff, this is the case of flexible displays, and transparent that showed over the last year.

 

Samsung has decided to producing a transparent screen with a panel LCD 22-inch and 1680 x 1050 pixel resolution. There will be two versions, one in color and black and white, with 15 and 20% transparency respectively.

From the point of view of consumption, Samsung reports that the screens need 10% of the energy used by an LCD standard , and that somehow takes advantage of ambient light (I guess I will need good lighting). Other interesting values ??are the levels of contrast, 500:1, input HDMI, ports and USB.

Strange that Samsung has decided to take this technology into a display of considerable size, and not one of the most powerful departments, the mobile device. We remind you that Sony Ericsson has already placed on the market a phone with a similar display, the Xperia Pureness.

 

Samsung are in luck . And so are all mobile phone manufacturers and tablets that normally use – or want to use – components developed in the factories of Samsung. You know that one of the largest objects of desire that shows the Korean company is working with the display technology Super AMOLED , used in terminals as successful as the Samsung S Galaxy or Galaxy S II .

Despite the success he has had with their own devices and other multi-brand, Samsung has struggled repeatedly to not having a sufficient quantity of Super AMOLED panels to supply world demand. Now Samsung has set out to expand the number of panels available …

 

The mobile display division of Samsung (SMD) announced today in Korea, that its new line of AMOLED panel production is ready to supply the high market demand that exists today, this mainly due to the million units sold Samsung S2 Galaxy and high demand from manufacturers for this type of display. This new line belongs to the 5.5 generation Samsung panels and aims to soon have two production lines.

The size of this new panel is 1300 × 1500 mm instead of 730 x 920 mm 4.5g of the previous generation, allowing manufacturers to produce devices with larger screens, while maintaining image quality.

 

Samsung now controls almost 100 percent of the production of this type of display is expected that this year the AMOLED market to triple over last year.

When a few months ago Samsung introduced at Mobile World Congress its new 10-inch tablet no one could foresee that soon after launch a very similar model with a few distinguishing characteristics.

The reason for this change was recognized by Samsung, Apple launched the iPhone 2 , so that the Korean company decided to redesign the device and had not yet gone on sale, while another had begun to be manufactured.

Samsung redesigned slightly tablet resulting in two types. The first went ahead with the suffix V because it would be Vodafone which will market it. The second was the original name.

Dimensions

The model’s dimensions are 246.2 x Vodafone 170.4 x 10.9 mm and weighs 600 grams, while the new model are 256.6 x 172.9 x 8.6 mm and weighs 595 grams. This shows that the thickness was one of the main reasons for the redesign, because the weight is virtually the same.
Interface

The version of Vodafone does not have a custom interface, something that appeals to many users of Android, while the version without the V has a layer, the Touchwiz known that, although not as intrusive as in the mobile, it is true that changes aspect of Android and may delay updates.

Camera

But the strangest was the change of the camera, because instead of maintaining the same Samsung chose to change the rear of the 8 MP resolution 3264 × 2448 pixels version of Vodafone to give 3.15 MP 2048 × 1536 pixels of the new model.

In addition, the tablet Vodafone can record Full HD at 1080p while the version without the V record at 720p.

Conclusion

Price aside, and considering the technical characteristics of the devices, it seems that except the thickness, Vodafone version has better benefits and they do not have any interfaces added.
