New video mic flag uses 3 OLED displays, new advertising space

admin — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 14:46:53 +0000

Recom group has released the world’s first video mic flag – which uses 3 to 4 (depends on configuration) OLED displays. The company reports that the new mic flag is already being used at by CBS, CNET, NBC, ABC, FOX, ESPN, CNN, and Bloomberg and was also used by several broadcasters at the superbowl and the NBA. This mic flag was also used by many broadcasters at CES, and CNN’s Katie Linendoll called it one of her top five picks of the show. The mic flag shows advertisements – from companies such as Ford, Toyota, Subway, Gillette and Pepsi. This brings extra revenue for the broadcasters. Recom says that the flag uses 3 to 4 OLED displays (probably the same ones as on Recom’s video name tag – 2.8″ 320×240 AMOLED panels) and it lasts 8-10 on a single battery charge. It provides a premium advertising space because it’s part of the broadcast. Here’s a video of the mic flag in action, from the superbowl: read more

LG Display starts building a pilot 3.5-Gen fab for flexible OLED displays

admin — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 17:06:27 +0000

There are reports that LG Display decided to built a pilot 3.5-Gen (730 × 460 mm) flexible OLED production line. They have ordered the equipment, which will arrive by 3Q 2012, and the line will become active by the end of 2012. An official from LGD is quoted saying that it will take 1-2 years to develop and verify the process and produce prototypes. The company hasn’t decided on a production schedule yet. LG Display’s flexible OLEDs will use the same technology as Samsung’s flexible prototypes – a polymide coated substrate and direct-emission RGB sub-pixels (as opposed to LG’s OLED TV which use WOLED with color filters ). read more

Traffic supporting OLED luminaries concept

admin — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 13:59:30 +0000

Swedish research firm Visual Guidance Systems Scandinavia AB (VGS) developed a new road lighting system concept based around OLED luminaires. The basic idea is that the lamps come in different shapes (enabled by OLED area-lighting panel designs) that signals information processes to support drivers – so a lamp above a crossroad or a pedestrian crossing will signal the object beneath it: VGS sent us an article showcasing this new concept – with lot’s of examples and discussions how this compares with current road luminaries and advantages in safety and traffic management. You can download the article in the link below.

LG Display says that they will begin production in their 8.5-Gen plant in July, making 8,000 monthly substrates – or about 48,000 55″ OLED TV panels.

LG plans to invest 4 trillion Won (around $3.5 billion) in OLED production this year, and plans for 2013 will only be made during in the third quarter – LG wants to see the market reaction. LG’s 55EM9600 is a 55″ Full-HD OLED TV featuring 100,000,000:1 contrast ratio and fast response time (1,000 times faster than LCD according to LG). The panel is only 4mm thick, and the whole TV weighs just 7.5Kg. The TV is based on LG Display’s Oxide-TFT white-OLED with color filters (RGBW) OLED panel. read more
