Digitimes: CMEL likely to unveil 3.5-inch AMOLED panel, currently producing 150,000 units

Digitimes says that CMEL is likely to add a 3.5-inch panel to its AMOLED panel range. CMEL currently offers 2.2- and 2.8-inch AMOLED panels, and it is set to start shipping a 4.3-inch version in the second quarter.
