Often hailed as “the future” of digital displays and screens, OLED technology merges the promise of significantly enhanced picture quality with the potential for innovative new consumer display presentations. But the technology is still a long way from challenging the market dominance of existing LCD options. […]
Guest Post: Jennifer Davis, Planar Systems Getting the most out of technology often requires learning some new techniques and ideas. When photography was first invented, people would need to stand still for minutes to capture a portrait, instead of the hours it took for a painter. When moving pictures were new, actors had to learn how to emote for the camera without using any words or sounds. […]
At last fall’s SEGD xlab event in New York, Jennifer Davis from Planar announced a contest aimed at generating great concept uses for transparent OLED screens – technology Planar had just started showing off. A few months later, Planar announced today the winner of the Clear Concept Award – Fivestone Studios, a creative services agency based in Nashville, Tenn. […]
I’ve been following all the tech writing coming from CES, and from my narrow perspective, LG seems to be getting more attention than Samsung when it comes to displays. LG has the bendy OLED and the double-sided OLED, and LG has certainly put more of a focus on OLED than its Korean rival in the past year or so. […]
Via Engadget … Here is that two-sided OLED panel that LG said it would be showing at CES this week, courtesy of an Engadget writer and his smartphone video camera. It was posted via the gadget blog’s Instagram account. It’s pretty wild to see something that skinny pushing out deep, rich video back to back. […]
Here’s a bit of a statement by LG about its commitment to large-format OLED displays – 280 55-inch OLED displays in a couple of curved, suspended video walls in the terminal at Seoul, South Korea’s Incheon International Airport. […]
The premium commercial display company Planar will have a transparent OLED panel on the market in roughly thee months, and has started showing the unit at special events like yesterday’s SEGD XLAB conference in New York. I was at that event – moderating the retail panel – and saw the 55-inch OLED in the lobby. […]
LG Display has started showing off a set of OLED display prototypes that will get people who design retail and corporate interiors thinking about the possibilities. An LG press release suggests its CEO and President, Dr. Sang Beom Han, talked a lot about OLED in his opening keynote speech at IFA 2015 in Berlin, Dr. […]
We all know that using TVs for digital signage isn’t the best idea, for a variety of operating and technical reasons. But people who do this stuff day in and out also know that a lot of TVs get used – to shave costs, because the demands are pretty light, or because the TVs just look so damn good. […]
Samsung is at Retail Asia Expo in Hong Kong this week, and happily showing off a pair of new OLED displays aimed at signage applications. The more impressive of the two is a mirror OLED display panel that has a greater than 75% reflectance level, which Samsung says is at least 50 percent better reflectance than competitive mirror LCD displays out there. […]
This is getting a little crazy. A decade ago you needed two guys to manhandle a 55-inch LCD or (particularly) a plasma panel into place on a wall mount. Now we learn, via OLED-info, that LG has shown off in DS. […]
There’s a whiff of solution looking for problem about LG’s flexible display technology, but nonetheless, it is pretty interesting to see (as relayed by OLED-info) a transparent flat panel display that is so flexible you can roll it over. The tech blog reports: Two weeks ago LG announced it has developed 18″ rollable OLEDs and 18″ transparent OLEDs, showing photos of two prototypes. […]
The LCD industry is changing rapidly and in order to catch up with the dynamics more frequently, we publish MarketWise-LCD Industry Dynamics every month. Here are key takeaways from the June report. JDI started production of 4.7″ iPhone 6 panels in April, and 5.5″ panels in May, both on Gen 5.5 lines. […]
Rumors have been flying today because of a story written by the Nikkei Asian Review claiming that Sony is getting out of OLED TVs to focus on 4K LCD TVs. On the other hand, we have seen reports that quote Sony as denying this development. […]
At CES last week, LGE took a leadership position in rolling out OLED TV. The company announced five 2014 OLED TV models, expanding into new sizes and variants. Its rival Samsung barely mentioned OLED TV, instead focusing on curved and 4K LCD TVs. In Las Vegas, and indeed in the global TV market, LGE has the OLED TV field largely to itself. […]
