The images, posted on the Boy Genius Report, show a brushed steel housing and an OLED screen with haptic feedback. The device is said to get an 8-megapixel camera, although further hardware specs remain unknown.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/09/10/linux.mobile.device.gets.8mp.camera.oled.display/ Fri, 11 Sep 2009 03:10:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/09/04/dependent.on.industry.progress/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/gallery/sep2009/samsungoled.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Samsung's first deployment of OLED notebooks should occur in about a year, an executive from the company explains. Samsung's head of worldwide sales and marketing for computers, Kyu Uhm, revealed the information at this week's IFA expo in Berlin. "Samsung is the largest OLED screen manufacturer. And as soon as it's available commercially for laptops we will adopt it," says Uhm. "Probably someti... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/09/04/dependent.on.industry.progress/ Fri, 04 Sep 2009 16:45:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/12/29/nokia.files.folding.patent/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0812/nokiafoldingintro.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />The world's biggest cellphone maker, Finland's Nokia, has applied for a patent that could eventually result in a phone or other portable electronic device that folds in four. According to the concept illustrations, two of the folding panels might be dedicated to the screen, while the other pair might form a large QWERTY keyboard, allowing for a notebook-like interface. It is not known whether the ... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/12/29/nokia.files.folding.patent/ Mon, 29 Dec 2008 21:15:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/12/02/samsung.oled.displays/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0810/samsungflappingdisplay.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />In a speech made last week at a seminar in Tokyo, Woo Jong Lee, the Vice President of the Mobile Display Marketing Team of Samsung SDI, said the joint venture between Samsung Electronics and Samsung SDI will bring active matrix organic LED (OLED) displays to market in notebooks by 2010. Lee pointed out advantages of the new display technology, saying by 2010, burn-in for active-matrix OLED panels ... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/12/02/samsung.oled.displays/ Tue, 02 Dec 2008 21:55:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/11/24/blue.for.oled.screens/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0811/skoreanoled1.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />South Korean scientists say they have developed a new material they call "true blue" that should speed up the development of organic light-emitting displays (OLEDs), according to a weekend report. The announcement comes from a chemistry professor at Pusan National University, Jin Sung-Ho, who led the state-funded project, which was performed in conjunction with engineers at Seoul National Universi... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/11/24/blue.for.oled.screens/ Mon, 24 Nov 2008 21:25:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/11/24/samsung.flexible.oled/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0811/samsungfoldingscreenintro.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Samsung concept phone features folding OLED screen At the FPD International show recently held in Japan, Samsung showed off a cellphone with a flexible folding OLED screen that, when opened, is larger than displays from any competitor. The handset features a vertical hinge and opens like a book. Once opened, the OLED display is about 5 inches in size. The unnamed handset also has a more conventio... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/11/24/samsung.flexible.oled/ Mon, 24 Nov 2008 15:30:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/10/10/oled.touch.light.prototype/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0810/oledtouch.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />At the Plastic Electronic 2008 show, the Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems showed the first touch-controlled flat light source. Because Organic Light Emitting Diodes (OLEDs) are cold to the touch, they could act as ideal touch controls. The innovation lies in the lack of any additional foils traditionally required to operate the light, which is both a switch and a source. Therefore, n... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/10/10/oled.touch.light.prototype/ Fri, 10 Oct 2008 20:30:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/09/11/sony.oled.tv.display/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0809/sonyeltv.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />At its dealer convention held in Japan on Wednesday, Sony introduced a new Organic LED (OLED) TV prototype that uses batteries for installation or mounting flexibility along with a wireless connection to its tuner. While speakers are built-in and must therefore be powered by the battery as well, Sony executives say the lower power consumption of an OLED panel make batteries a viable solution to po... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/09/11/sony.oled.tv.display/ Thu, 11 Sep 2008 13:10:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/08/21/kodak.places.oled.order/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0808/kodakframe.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Kodak has placed an order with Chi Mei EL (CMEL) for 7.6-inch OLED displays for use in the company's digital photo frames, according to today's report. CMEL specializes in manufacturing OLED panels and is owned by LCD maker Chi Mei Optoelectronics. The supplier is expected to start production of the 7.6-inch panels in September and ship them to Kodak in time for sale during the holiday shopping se... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/08/21/kodak.places.oled.order/ Thu, 21 Aug 2008 20:30:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/08/21/new.smoled.display.tech/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0808/tmdsmoled.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Toshiba Matsushita Display (TMD) and Idemitsu Kosan say they have devised a new form of screen, one which could substantially improve the performance of cellphone displays. The technology is based on an OLED variant called SMOLED -- Small-Molecule Organic LED -- and in a sample, 2.2-inch QVGA screen, consumes an average of just 100mW of power. Its luminosity half-life is meanwhile rated at 60,00... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/08/21/new.smoled.display.tech/ Thu, 21 Aug 2008 17:00:00 GMT
