A video has surfaced of a new innovation in OLED technology which is thought to be from the recent Japanese Flat Panel Display (FPD) trade show. It shows a full-color OLED display by Samsung which is capable of being folded in two, much like a sheet of paper. The display joins Samsung’s .05mm thick OLED that was also present at the show – flapping in the wind. Thursday, 30 October 2008
The innovative display company AU Optronics have again put their creativity to work, producing and unveiling a 2.2-inch ‘No Frame’ LCD. The display cleverly refracts light emitted from the edges to make the frame appear invisible. Wednesday, 29 October 2008
Samsung has developed a new OLED display that is so thin, it literally flaps in the wind. The 4-inch “Flapping Display” is just 0.05mm thick, can produce 480×272 pixels with a 100,000:1 contrast ratio and reproduce 100% of the NTSC color gamut, making the picture quality comparable to that of most flat-panel displays on the market.

Casio has unveiled its latest transmissive LCD technology that takes in so much surrounding light that it does not require any backlighting when used outdoors, cutting power consumption by 50 percent. The display absorbs surrounding light which is then reflected out through the LCD, illuminating the display. Existing semi-transmissive displays have been too inefficient to offer many advantages. The technology could be incorporated into widespread portable devices such as mobile phones and digital cameras, yet strangely, the company does not seem to want to go in that direction. They will be aiming the displays (at least initially) towards industrial mobile devices. The new display also performs indoors, achieving 200cd/m2 of brightness on a 3.5-inch panel with only 200mW, which means a power reduction of 50 percent indoors or outdoors over existing models. Lets hope Casio sees sense and starts offering these gems in consumer gadgets. Source: Monday, 30 June 2008
A group of geniuses over at USC have come up with a remarkably realistic 3D holographic display. The objects look so real on the video (below) you just want to reach out and touch them, but there’s a reason they’re behind glass. The 3D holographic effect is achieved using mirrors which spin at high speed. They reflect rapid DLP projections which fire almost 5,000 images each second, creating a three-dimensional object that can be manipulated in real-time at 200Hz. The generated images can be produced in color and can be viewed from any angle, even from above. Also, the effect can be seen with the naked eye, so you can enjoy the technology without wearing uncomfortable trick glasses. This is perhaps the most realistic 3D holographic display to date, but is one you’ll have to appreciate from a distance I’m afraid. Source: Wednesday, 25 June 2008
Not to be outdone by Mitsubishi, JVC has announced that next month will see the release of their 42-inch LT-421L89 and 46-inch LT-46SL89 models which they claim to be the world’s slimmest tuner-equipped LCD HDTVs. The sets are only 39mm (1.5-inches) deep with a maximum depth of 74mm (2.9-inches) at the center. Both models consume less power and weigh less than typical LCD TVs. The two new sets will have 1920 x 1080p resolution, an HDMI interface with three inputs, S-Video / VGA port and a TV tuner. The 42-inch LT-421L89 and 46-inch LT-46SL89 will cost around $1,899.99 and $2,399.99 respectively. Source: Wednesday, 25 June 2008
Mitsubishi has announced an autumn / fall launch for its new laser TV technology called LaserVue. The sets will be available in 65-inch and 73-inch models and could prove to be the most energy efficient displays on the market. Mitsubishi is being very quiet about how the technology works but have been quick to point out its advantages over competing technologies. The displays run at 120Hz with 500cd/m² of brightness and have a 200 percent color gamut which is more than double that of traditional HDTVs. Another plus is that these Laser TVs draw less than 200 watts which is a third of that used by plasma sets and half that used by LCD displays. Pricing is expected to be similar to that of Plasma and LCD sets so keep an eye out. Source: Thursday, 19 June 2008 The Mitsubishi Design Center in Japan has teamed up with Ashcraft Design to bring us a 50″ concept display that looks to integrate itself with interior trends in the U.S. It is obvious the designers were thinking outside the box with this set, doing away with boxy styling in favor of sleek curves. Quite an achievement when the display itself must be flat. The design also offers up a new feature. LCD monitor modules slide out from the side on command that can link up with video cameras for surveillance, child monitoring or even two-way video communications. I would love to see this display in person, it seems very nicely finished. Apparently there is a little Mitsubishi logo embedded in the glass and the edges illuminated with a soft blue light.

Along with their new projectors, NEC has today launched a 22-inch WUXGA LCD monitor called the EA261WM. The monitor features a 1920 x 1200 resolution with 1,000:1 contrast ratio, 400cd/m2 brightness, 92% color gamut, 5-millisecond response time, a 4-port USB hub and a 4-way adjustable stand (height, pivot, swivel, tilt). It also incorporates on-screen controls for the display on the right-hand side of the bottom bezel and includes down-firing speakers, headphone jack, cable management cover and built-in carrying handle. The display has an ECO mode for reducing power consumption and will come with a three-year warranty. It will be available in August for $679.99. Sources: Thursday, 12 June 2008
LG has unveiled its latest LCD panel, the Flatron W2252TE, which it claims is the world’s most energy efficient monitor. It is a 22-inch widescreen display that offers a 45 per cent (~40W) power reduction compared to other models but without compromising on spec. The display has a 1680 x 1050 resolution, a 2 ms response time, a 10,000:1 contrast ratio, a 250cd/m2 brightness rating and a 170 degree viewing angle. Price has not yet been announced but it should be available August in the UK. Source: Related articles: | Subscribe
