Flexible OLED 3DTV From Samsung Wraps Around Walls Or Anything, Really

// , , , , , , , , , , , , , 0


We already know about the amazing curved
displays both Samsung and LG are working on, using advanced OLED technology. LG seems to have won this fight, as they have already released theircurved OLED TV set in South Korea, with plans to hit the U.S. market soon.

But Samsung wants to take the idea of curved TVs even further by creating a television set with aflexible display that will actually be able to bend ant twist itself at the click of a remote. The idea is described in a recent patent application from Samsung.
The patent describes a thin high definition TV set equipped with an extra-flexible display that can be bent via remote control. This would allow users to get the perfect angle, no matter where they are in their room.  The TV’s movements would be controlled by what the Samsung patent application describes as a panel deformation member placed on the back of the display.
Also via the remote controller, users will be able to adjust the images on screen if they are distorted when the flexible display is bent to accommodate other viewing angles. The future Samsung flexible TV model will also allow owners to rotate or bend the entire display or just part of the screen.
Samsung Flexible TV that Twists and Bends
The remote control will communicate the commands – rotating angle, direction, bending degree, etc. -, via Bluetooth of infrared communication. The controller will look more or less like a standard remote with menus, keys and buttons which will allow users to customize the television set’s bending degree, direction and angle.
Until now, flexible display technology has been mainly mentioned in relation to smartphones rather than TVs. But it seems the concept is picking up and a growing number of electronics powerhouses are trying it out. So even if we don’t know when Samsung’s flexible TV could actually be ready for commercialization, our guess is that it will happen pretty soon, given the stern competition in the market of flexible displays gadgets, whether it’s TVs or smartphones.

iPhone 5, Galaxy S3 displays go head to head -- iPhone wins

// , , , , , , , , ,
Samsung's OLED tech has not reached the level of refinement of Apple's Retina LCD, a display testing firm claims.
iPhone 5's display: "it's not perfect...but it is the best Smartphone display we have seen to date," said DisplayMate.

Apple's iPhone 5 beat Samsung's Galaxy S3 in a display tech "shoot-out" at screen testing firm DisplayMate Technologies.
The iPhone 5's Retina screen is the best smartphone display that DisplayMate has tested to date, according to results the firm posted today.
iPhone 5: "It is a significant improvement over the display in the iPhone 4," said DisplayMate's Raymond Soneira, who cited much lower screen reflections, much higher image contrast and screen readability in high ambient lighting -- the latter, the highest he's ever tested.
DisplayMate -- which gave the display an "A" -- also cited improved color gamut and factory calibration that "delivers very accurate colors and very good picture quality." The Retina iPad is the only thing that beats it in accuracy, according to Soneira.
Galaxy S3: While DisplayMate said the OLED display is "very good" and gave it a "B+," it fell short of the iPhone 5.
The problem, comparatively, as Soneira sees it, is that the Galaxy S III's OLED technology is still on steep development curve. OLED is "a new technology that has not yet been refined to the same degree as LCDs, particularly the IPS LCDs on the iPhones, so it doesn't objectively test or perform as well as the iPhone 5," according to Soneira.

The brightness on the Galaxy S3's display is about half of the iPhone 5 "due to power constraints resulting from the lower OLED power efficiency," among other issues, that makes for poorer image contrast and screen readability in high ambient lighting compared to the iPhone 5, said Soneira.
Other issues he cited are a "lopsided" color gamut and calibration. "For some reason Samsung has not bothered to calibrate the Color Gamut on any of its OLED displays, so they are wildly inaccurate and produce inaccurate and over saturated colors."

New Tech Could Protect Your Phone From Death by Toilet Bowl

// , , , , , , , , , 1

No more rice to the rescue for these gadgets. We’ve seen a tablet that can be immersed in water and one kind of tech that can protect smartphones from a watery grave, too. Here’s another: HZO, which was demoed at this year’s CES.

This technology creates a barrier that repels water, protecting gadgets’ insides. One report indicates that HZO could soon be coming to smartphones and headphones.

Check out the video above to learn more and see it in action. Do you want waterproof gadgets?

Sony Experia SmartWatch

There are many gadgets that are being introduced at the 2012 International CES in Las Vegas. Some are more of the same devices, only given some added features and new designs. But there are also other devices that are worth checking out because of their unique features. One of them is the new Sony Experia SmartWatch.

The Sony Experia SmartWatch forms as a part of the Sony Experia line of portable devices, notably the Experia smartphone. the Sony Experia SmartWatch can be considered as a complement to the smartphone in that it sort of becomes the phone’s extension. The SmartWatch can be connected via Bluetooth to the Sony Experia smartphone. It can also work with smartphones running on Android 2.1. It can store around 255 widgets which can be used to interact with the Android device.

This unique wristwatch can be used to read and send emails, make and answer calls, send SMS, check Facebook and most other functions that some users won’t bother taking out their smartphones for. The Sony Experia SmartWatch comes with a touchscreen OLED display and consumes low power that it can go for around a week in between charges. The Sony Experia SmartWatch has no launch date set yet. But the people at Sony has pegged its expected retail price to be around US$149.

LG details 55-inch OLED TV, will show off its true colors at CES 2012

While building the world's first 55-inch OLED TV panel is nice, it's not worth much unless you put an actual TV around it and LG Electronics will have the total package on display next week at CES. Today's press release reveals more about LG's "4-Color Pixel" and Color Refiner technology it's implementing to bring consistent, accurate colors that it claims will be other OLED TV's abnormal color gamut. LG's press release doesn't mention production plans or pricing, but all of this is squeezed into a frame that's just 4mm thick with a narrow bezel and weight of 7.5kg -- we'll let our eyes decide on the quality of its colors once we meet in person.

Sony to Launch 3D Head-Mounted Visor Guy with a Head-Mounted Display

// , , , , , , ,
Sony on Wednesday announced the impending launch of the HMZ-T1, a 3D head-mounted display that puts a 750-inch screen at a virtual distance of about 20 metres from your eye. The product goes on sale in Japan on November 11.
Guy with a Head-Mounted Display

The simultaneously funky and oddly futuristic-looking device boasts of some impressive specs, equipped as it will be with individual 0.7-inch hi-def OLED panels (with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels) for each eye, with a viewing angle of 45 degrees and a 5.1-channel surround sound experience delivered over a pair of headphones.

The company says that viewing anything using the device will be akin to sitting in a movie theatre with a 750-inch screen at a distance of about 20 metres from your eye. The individual screens make the device fully 3D capable and the covered design will enable complete privacy for the viewer.

Sony HMZ-T1 3D Head-Mounted Display

Although it’d probably be too dorky to wear in a public setting, if it delivers on what it promises, we think it could be an excellent replacement for your personal home theatre. Unfortunately, however, Sony has yet to announce the price or release dates for other regions of the world. We’ll keep you updated as we learn more.

Samsung Super AMOLED explained in pretty moving pictures (video)

// , , , , , , , , , , , , ,
Samsung Logo Using "super" to describe your new display technology just begs for criticism. Especially when the word is affixed to a handheld display technology as notoriously difficult (if near impossible) to see in direct sunlight as OLED. Fortunately, Samsung's Super AMOLED appears to have licked the outdoor readability issue while bettering the features that made us fall in love with AMOLEDs in the first place. First off, it's thinner since the touch sensors are now integrated into the display; colors are more vivid due to the removal of the obfuscating touch sensor layer that sits on top of TFT LCD and traditional AMOLED touchscreen displays; and even the viewing angle has been improved. You won't find a soundtrack in the video posted after the break because the technology is already booming enough.
