Samsung 3D OLED Display is Practically Paper Thin

Looking at the pictures this OLED concept produces is the strangest thing: a 3D image on a nearly 2D panel. The 14-inch panel from Samsung Mobile Display is just 1.6mm thin, and if you look at it from the side you might miss it completely. It’s at least three years away from being ready—much less…

The Invisible OLED Laptop to End All Laptops

It’s only a proof of concept, but this is laptop with a clear OLED screen—but a stone’s throw from those floating 3D displays of Avatar. Practical? Not necessarily. The future? OBVIOUSLY. The resolution is less than a 1000 wide, and less than 600 tall on this 14 incher. It’s pixely, but let’s not quibble. You…

Light-Emitting Wallpaper Using OLED Technology Could Light Our Homes By 2012

The Hunt For the Perfect Screen

As I stood in the corner of a small, cluttered optics lab at MIT, the professor flipped a switch. The room filled with an electrical buzz, and suddenly a holographic video popped out at my face. The 3-D image was of a human rib cage, and it rotated in midair. And the holographic rib cage…

Doesn’t She Look Happy, Wearing an OLED Dress

Created in collaboration with British fashion designer Gareth Pugh, this dress has been fitted with PolyPhotonix OLED lighting panels creating that very on-trend AW09/10 look. Or something. Exhibited at the UK’s Plastic Electronics Strategy event (and doesn’t that sound like a hoot!), PolyPhotonix used it to advertise its polymer-based OLED lighting panels. [OLED-info via UberGizmo]

Kodak’s Slow Fade: Inventor of OLED Sells OLED Business

In the 1970s, Kodak scientists developed the world’s first viable OLED material. Today, they’re selling the business to LG to keep their drowning ship afloat. It’s been a rough decade. It’s been so long since Kodak’s been relevant that it’s easy to forget how much they’ve pioneered. Today, though, they’ve been reduced to a case…

Samsung’s 30-inch AMOLED TV: 3D Without the Dizziness (Still Needs Silly Glasses)

Another of the treats on show at FPD 2009 is Samsung’s AMOLED 3D TV prototype. The 240Hz panel is just 2.5-mm thick, has a million-to-1 contrast, and Samsung claims its latest shutter-glasses technology reduces the dizziness often associated with 3D.

Samsung’s Hybrid Desktop Notebook Concept: 14-inch AMOLED Screen, 2.7mm Thin

I’m not sure how practical this design would be on the road, but it sure looks sweet. The stunning screen supports a resolution of 1366 x 768, and because it’s AMOLED, has a 1000000:1 contrast ratio, and 300cd/m2 brightness. We don’t know much more at this point, but it’s just one of many concepts Samsung…
