Apple patents wrap-around AMOLED display

, Mar 28th 2013 Discuss [0]

This week Apple's industrial designers and inventors have found their way back into the USPTO with a patent filing for a wrap-around display. This means that you'll have a device that's got a display that's wrapping around its sides rather than just sitting on the front - AMOLED in technology, too. You'll have brightness and light coming at you from all directions! Read The Full Story

Today the next generation of Samsung smartphone technology has been revealed in the Samsung GALAXY S 4. This device works with a lovely 5-inch display with Full HD resolution complete with Super AMOLED technology - the first combination of these two elements in the history of the world. With the GALAXY S 4 we've got a smartphone that's working with Android 4.2 Jelly Bean as well as the newest iteration of the company's own TouchWiz user interface - and the whole amalgamation works at a size that's both lighter and thinner than the Galaxy S III, too.

Samsung Galaxy Q folding smartphone tipped for MWC 2013

, Feb 4th 2013 Discuss [0]

This month we may very well be looking at the first market-ready glimpse we'll have of the Samsung Galaxy Q, a dual-display smartphone-like device tipped by the manufacturer more than once before. The clues are lining up with MobileGeeks showing a GL Benchmark result that they suggest is the final straw on the pile that'll topple the whole mess in for a Mobile World Congress 2013 reveal. This device will be appearing in some capacity or another soon, bringing with it a 1080p set of two displays that fold out into one - is the world ready for such an oddity? Read The Full Story

Samsung demos curved phone concepts (plus what’s likely the Galaxy S4 display)

, Jan 14th 2013 Discuss [0]

Samsung may have had big screens on its mind at CES, but the company also previewed what might be the display the Galaxy S IV (aka Galaxy S4) is blessed with, together with the flexible AMOLED we’d really like it to have. Buried on the company’s stand was a display of curved AMOLED concepts under Samsung’s YOUM brand, AnandTech reports, with the panels curving around the edges and sides of the mock-up devices. More imminent, however, is a 4.99-inch 1080p Full HD screen running at a luscious 440ppi, which is likely to find its way into Samsung’s next Android flagship.

Samsung‘s stylus-enabled “phablets” are set to get even bigger, sources in South Korea claim, with the Galaxy Note III tipped to have a whopping 6.3-inch display when it arrives in 2013.

Samsung delays flexible AMOLED until 2013

, Oct 22nd 2012 Discuss [0]

Samsung has reportedly pushed back its flexible AMOLED production plans, with the continued success of regular displays meaning it will be 2013 before such panels hit the market. Although Samsung had previously suggested screens under its flexible YOUM brand would show up by Q3 2012, the mass production schedule encountered problems, ETNews reports. Meanwhile, Samsung is selling traditional glass AMOLED panels with no signs of slowing. Read The Full Story

IHS says 4K TVs are “transitional products” until AMOLED is widespread

, Oct 4th 2012 Discuss [0]

If you're a fan of the ultra-gigantic and super-high-definition television environment that exists amongst the super-rich, then you'll be glad to know that more 4G resolution televisions are on the way! While shipments of 4K LCD-TVs across the planet are only up to 4,000 units throughout 2012, they'll ramp up to 2.1 million units in 2017 - that accounting for less than 1 percent of all LCD shipments in both cases. All of this information and analysis comes from IHS iSuppli (now just IHS after iSuppli joined the team fully) and leads into the most important point here: the 4k television may only be a passing fad.

, Sep 12th 2012 Discuss [0]

LG has launched a pre-reveal attack on Samsung's favorite phone and tablet technology, AMOLED, hammering home the idea that its Optimus G display will be thinner, brighter, and more power-efficient. Announced last month, the Optimus G uses a new True HD IPS+ screen based on LCD not OLED technologies, and LG is keen to make clear why that's a specific advantage over Samsung's current Android flagship smartphone.

Samsung Galaxy Note II vs Galaxy Note I: Specifications War

, Aug 29th 2012 Discuss [0]

At IFA 2012 we've gotten our first glimpse of the next phablet, the Samsung Galaxy Note II - now it's time to compare to the original from one year ago to see what's been improved. First you'll notice that the casing for the device has taken on a whole lot more "Galaxy S III" styling, just as the original Note did with the Galaxy S II. The back and front are more than likely going to feature different color combinations even beyond the blue and white we've seen thus far. Read The Full Story

, Aug 12th 2012 Discuss [0]

Audi has announced that its upcoming R8 e-tron will be featuring a digital AMOLED rear-view "mirror" when it arrives later this year. This isn't the first time Audi has implemented such a display in one of its cars, as we saw this same technology in its Audi R18 race car.
