No more debate on what’s best, which type of keyboard suits who, because the Blackberry 7130 has just met the Optimus Keyboard – meet the OLED Blackberry concept…
This new iPhone design concept called the iPhone 4G definitely has the wow factor. I like the way the designer Jim Young has widened the screen of this iPhone towards nearly the very edge making the most out of that OLED screen. It’s also thin, just 9mm, thinner than the new Toshiba TG01 
Nice slick corners all round and speakers at the bottom. Apple should be highly capable to making something like this, because this literally is a MacBook crammed into an iPhone if you get what I mean.
Here’s another recap of those juicy Sony OLEDs by Megawhat.tv which were featured at this year’s CES. Wristwatches with bending screens, full screen folding laptops, etc… you name it. We’ve been tipped some of our videos aren’t working within feed readers like Google Reader. This sounds like an old WordPress issue, so we’re looking into that, meanwhile if you can all do us a favour and email us / leave a comment if you spot a post with videos that aren’t working!
Update: Looks like Megawhat’s videos aren’t that stable, so we’ve found one almost exactly the same by CNET, enjoy! Continue reading »
This is the Samsung Show and it’s the Korean’s first attempt at a projector phone, the candybar style phone may appear a little on the bulky side and runs Samsung’s proprietary OS.
The main specs will be released over the next week but we do know that the Samsung Show features support for Korea’s DMB-T digital TV system, uses Samsung’s TouchWIZ user interface, uses DLP projection technology from Texas Instruments and it’s got an OLED touchscreen display and a 5-megapixel camera – not bad at all!
It’s time for us to feature some festive technology to embrace and celebrate the coming holidays. GE has built the first OLED Christmas tree in the world. It was basically rolled up from a 15-foot by 6-inch scroll of OLED panels lit green.
Here’s the press release…
NISKAYUNA, N.Y.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Scientists and engineers on GE’s OLED research team rang in the 2008 holiday season with a first-ever OLED Christmas tree lighting at GE’s Global Research Center headquarters in Niskayuna, NY. Illuminated in green light, GE’s flexible OLED panels cut quite a tree and provide a glimpse at how this revolutionary lighting concept is going to transform the lighting industry.
To see a video of the team and the lighting of the OLED Christmas tree, the video has been posted to You Tube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqMXk3mntOQ&feature=channel_page. You also can view a blog entry from GE’s OLED program leader, Anil Duggal, at the Research Center’s technology blog, From Edison’s Desk, at www.grcblog.com.
”We haven’t quite achieved Rockefeller or National Christmas tree lighting status yet, but we’re well on our way,“ said Anil Duggal, who leads GE’s OLED program. “We hope GE’s OLED tree lighting will inspire and capture people’s imagination during the holidays on the limitless possibilities of this next generation lighting concept.”
”Customers will recognize that while this demonstration was more for holiday spirit and team camaraderie, it does reinforce how far OLED technology has come and how it is poised to revolutionize lighting and interior design,” says John Strainic, global product general manager with GE Consumer & Industrial, which will commercialize OLEDs for businesses and consumers in the coming years.
OLEDs are thin, organic materials sandwiched between two electrodes, which illuminate when an electrical charge is applied. They represent the next evolution in lighting products. Their widespread design capabilities will provide an entirely different way for people to light their homes or businesses. Moreover, OLEDs have the potential to deliver dramatically improved levels of efficiency and environmental performance, while achieving the same quality of illumination found in traditional products in the marketplace today with less electrical power.
Earlier this year, GE scientists achieved a major research milestone by demonstrating the world’s first roll-to-roll manufactured OLED lighting devices. This process for producing OLEDs has been likened to a newspaper printing process. Roll-to-roll manufacturing is seen as a key factor to making OLED lighting commercially viable in the general lighting industry.
Duggal said, “We’re making great progress toward hitting the metrics needed to successfully introduce OLED lighting to market. We continue to make steady advances in efficiency, lifetime, and lighting-quality using device structures that can be made with roll-to-roll manufacturing, so that we’ll be able to introduce OLED lighting at an affordable price.”
