Word has hit the wire that Samsung is working on a 5.8" "ClorOLED" display that uses a 16 subpixels RGB matrix. Mass production is expected in June 2013 but the specifications of the screen are still unclear. One source claims the screen offers 358ppi, while another source says it has a 1024 x 980 pixels resolution, which would add up to 244ppi.
The specs are nothing short of stunning, if this whole tip is true, since the pixel density has allegedly been disclosed by Samsung to be 358ppi in a 5.8" unit, made with an RGB matrix, instead of the PenTile arrangement Samsung's been using for its HD Super AMOLED screens until the Note II.
The claimed resolution, however, doesn't really add up to that pixel density. The source says the display is to sport the rather unconventional 1024x980 pixels, which, coupled with the reported 5.8" size, adds up to 244ppi. Here comes the kicker, though - out tipster claims that the RGB matrix of this project, codenamed ClorOLED, will be done with no less than 16 subpixels, so make of it what you will. The Super AMOLED Plus in the Galaxy S II is listed by Samsung as having 12 subpixels in ads, so we'd have a third more here.
