AGC’s developed new technology to enables ultra-thin (0.1mm) glass to used in current manufacturing processes

admin — Thu, 31 May 2012 14:14:50 +0000

AGC announced that it developed a carrier glass technology that can be used to laminate its 0.1 mm-thick ultra-thin glass on carrier glass. This means that current manufacturing processes can be used with AGC’s ultra-thin glass without modification. AGC’s ultra-thin glass offers excellent transparency, heat resistance and electrical insulation and is also flexible. AGC is aiming towards roll-to-roll production methods, which could not use ultra-thin glass until now. The new technology uses a 0.5-mm thick carrier glass laminated on the ultra-thin glass itself. The laminated glass substrate can be handled much the same as an ordinary glass sheet: it protects the glass (from heat, chemical processes and direct contact with processing equipment) and can be easily be removed after processing. read more

The FDC manufactured the world’s largest Mixed-Oxide TFTs based flexible OLED (7.4")

admin — Thu, 31 May 2012 13:53:54 +0000

The Flexible Display Center (FDC) at Arizona State University (ASU) have manufactured the world’s largest (7.4″) flexible (bendable) OLED using advanced Mixed-Oxide TFTs. The panel was developed in collaboration with the US Army Research Labs. The FDC says that Mixed-Oxide TFTs deliver high performance (fast switching speeds and reduced power consumption) and are quite cost-effective and can be produced on existing amorphous silicon production lines. read more

Engadget reviews the S3: the display is great, better than older AMOLEDs

admin — Sun, 27 May 2012 12:09:20 +0000

Engadget posted a review of the Galaxy S3 , and while they think the phone is excellent, they’re not sure if the S3 is the best Android phone on the market, with the main competitor being the HTC One X. They love the 1280×720 4.8″ Super AMOLED HD display, and say that there are real visual improvements over the Galaxy Nexus . The colors aren’t over-saturated and there’s no unnatural blue-ish tint. Regarding the controversial PenTile technology , Engadget says that it isn’t so visible because the screen is large and you tend to hold it from a little bit further than in smaller phones. But it still makes text a bit fuzzy, and so if you like reading on your book, maybe it’s better to choose a non-Pentile phone (I personally think it’s better to use a dedicated e-paper e-reader if you actually want to read). read more

Audi installed an AMOLED rear-view "mirror" in the new R18 race cars

admin — Sun, 27 May 2012 11:39:09 +0000

Audi’s R18 sports prototype cars just got a new addition: an AMOLED digital read view “mirror”. They say that the AMOLED display was chosen because of the high density, excellent image quality and very fast response time – even at 330 km/h (92 meters per second) the image is still fluid, according to Audi. It’s also quite light, in fact probably lighter than a traditional mirror. A digital mirror also providers other advantages of course: it can display information (current gear, warnings, etc) and it also behaves better than a traditional mirror in bad weather. The camera is installed behind the antennas on the roof. read more

Rumors: Samsung giving up on direct-emission, to develop RGBW OLED TVs?

admin — Thu, 24 May 2012 15:55:51 +0000

There’s an interesting article in HDTV Magazine about Samsung’s and LG’s OLED TV program. The author says that an LG Executive old him that Samsung has given up on direct-emission OLED technology and will instead opt for LG’s WOLED (RGBW) in their upcoming OLED TVs . According to the article, this is because of issues with manufacturing and scalability. I personally find that hard to believe, but of course, like the article’s author says, “anything can happen”. Months ago, when we learned that LG will use a WOLED design in their TVs, it was assumed that we’ll see some ugly marketing battles between those two different OLED architecture. So perhaps this is all there is to this rumor. Hopefully we’ll hear something from SMD soon. read more
