Samsung Display has developed a novel on-cell touch AMOLED panel technology.

Called as ‘Youm on-cell touch AMOLED’, or Y-OCTA, the new technology is a sort of touch sensor film or glass-built-in AMOLED panel.

Unlike an add-on type touch screen, of which a touch panel is directly placed on the top of AMOLED panel, the on-cell touch AMOLED panel has an ITO touch sensor glass placed in between a polarizer and an encapsulation glass.

Y-OCTA is a new type of OCTA that patterns an aluminum metal-mesh type touch sensor layer on an encapsulation film that tightly wrap around OLED cell arrays with no gap.

What make differences with conventional OCTA is that the new Y-OCTA technology is more resistant to circuitry breakage when it gets bended. So, it is more suitable for flexible, bendable, and curved applications.

So much so that it will be used to build Samsung Electronics’ next generation of Galaxy note series. New Galaxy note series will come with a dual-edge OLED display in early  August.

Samsung Electronics announced that it would hold an Unpacked 2016 event for new Galaxy note series of smartphone on August 2 in New York.

The Y-OCTA technology makes it more responsive to a stroke of human touch, more transparent and more flexible.
