Smart home trials in Australia to include OLED TVs

Опубликовал oled | Published: 8 Февраль 2010

Here's a nice offer: you can get a fully paid-for house in Sydney if you volunteer to experience an eco-friendly smart home. This smart home includes solar panels, a fuel-cell, an electric car, and an OLED TV (probably Sony's XEL-1). One lucky family (it's gotta be a family with kids) will get this house for about a year, during which they'll try out the different technologies and blog about it, of course. The aim is to save between 20% to 50% of the energy required for such a house using the new technologies.

More info here, but hurry up - registration closes on February 22nd...

Samsung to release a phone with the 3.3″ touch-enabled AMOLED display

Опубликовал oled | Published: 8 Февраль 2010

Samsung is said to unveil the first phone to use their new 3.3" touch-enabled AMOLED displays announced last week. Those displays (which Samsung calls "super AMOLED") have a 480x800 resolution, with a touch-sensor over the mirror display. The thickness of the touch sensor is just 0.001mm. Samsung claims that these displays are five-times more clear or vivid, and perform 20% better when used outdoors. Perhaps this is the same technology as used in their upcoming GT-8500, which is said to have a special 'anti-reflective OLED'.

Graphene is used to create an alternative to OLED Lighting

Опубликовал oled | Published: 6 Февраль 2010

Researchers from Sweden and the US have produced a new transparent lighting component that is made from Graphene. They say it is cheap to make and fully recyclable, and might be an alternative to OLED Lighting. The new device is called an Organic Light-emitting Electrochemical Cell, or LEC. The Graphene is used for an electrode. LECs can be made using a roll-to-roll process, because all of its parts can be made from liquid solutions.

There's very little info on that new device (such as what is the actual light-emitting material, what's the efficiency of it, etc.).

A Japanese consortium says they can make flexible LCDs

Опубликовал oled | Published: 3 Февраль 2010

A Japanese consortium of 13 companies (including Sharp and Hitachi) claims that they found a way to make LCDs using plastic film instead of a glass substrate. This means that those displays can be very thin and flexible. They do admit however that this is a very complicated process. They have shown a 3.5" bendable color LCD that just 0.49mm thick and weights 7 grams. They hope to make a better display by 2012, and use this technology to mass produce thin, curved LCD displays.

The companies say that the new manufacturing process is simpler than the one used in current LCDs, and also the new displays will consumer 70% less energy!
