Koreas No. 3 handset maker Pantech can not use Am-OLED Displays in its new smartphones.
The problem is the shortage of AMOLEDs an executive told the Korea Herald.
We will not use AM-OLED displays in our new phones to be rolled out in the first half of next year because of supply issues,” the executive said on condition of anonymity.

He said Samsung Mobile Display, the sole supplier of AM-OLEDs, is not even able to keep up with demand from Samsung Electronics. Samsung Electronics is aggressively pushing for sales of its smartphone Galaxy S phone equipped with Super-AMOLED displays. Samsung want to sell over 10.000.000 millions Galaxy-S smartphones with Super-Amoled.
Samsung Mobile Display controls 98 percent of the global AM-OLED display market.
Pantech would consider using the AM-OLED displays from the second half of 2011 when Samsung’s new, 5.5 generation AM-OLED line is completed.
