Lumus OE-31 wearable display hands-on

, Mar 21st 2012 Discuss [9]

Wearable displays are going to change the mobile market, not to mention gaming, and usher augmented reality into the mainstream. At least, they will if display specialists Lumus have anything to do with it: the company has already shown us its 720p twin-display wearable prototype back at CES 2012, and SlashGear caught up with the company again today to see arguably an even more impressive version, the OE-31. Lower resolution, true, but smaller, lower-power and easier to disguise in the average pair of glasses: this could be the way you consumer your Twitter, Facebook, email, GPS and more on the move in just a couple of years time. Read on for our first-impressions.

, Mar 21st 2012 Discuss [2]

Avatron’s Air Display allows you to use your iPhone or iPad as an additional monitor to your setup. The popular app will soon be seeing an update that will support the new iPad’s Retina display, taking full advantage of the 2048x1536 resolution. Having such a high resolution on hand for a second or third monitor sounds good to us. Read The Full Story

Samsung ElectroWetting tech destroys e-ink in 2013

, Mar 21st 2012 Discuss [2]

It's been announced this week by Samsung LCD Netherlands R & D Center (SNRC)'s Johan Feenstra that the company will begin mass production of their own next generation e-reader displays starting in 2013. Through the company that Samsung purchased specifically to make their own company bring such technology to the market, we've already had a glimpse of what was once just known as Liquavista's ElectroWetting display. This new-world e-reader-bound technology is able to not only display text and black and white images with great success and next to no power consumed, it's able to play videos and flip through pages of content without the relatively massive refresh time an e-ink display still does today.

iPad Retina Display squashes rivals (but it’s not perfect)

, Mar 20th 2012 Discuss [6]

The new iPad's Retina Display comfortably out-performs the displays on the current crop of tablets and smartphones, according to new research, though there remains room for improvement in battery life, brightness and more. The third-gen iPad's 2048 x 1536 panel bests rivals for sharpness, color saturation and accuracy, picture quality, and gray scale, according to DisplayMate's testing, and in fact outperforms the screens on most HDTVs, notebooks and monitors. However, it's not all good news. Read The Full Story

GeChic On-Lap 1302 gives you a bigger screen on the go

, Mar 19th 2012 Discuss [1]

The new GeChic On-Lap 1302 does something for smartphones that I can't say I have ever wanted - adds a larger second screen. The thing I like about my smartphone is that it is small and portable. I'm willing to give up a large screen for that small and portable nature, but if you're not this may be the screen for you. This external display is specifically designed for on the go use and measures 13.3-inches. Read The Full Story

New iPad Super High Aperture Retina Display tech revealed

, Mar 12th 2012 Discuss [7]

Apple’s “Resolutionary” new iPad could catapult Super High Aperture (SHA) displays into the limelight, challenging AMOLED with significantly brighter, more pixel-dense panels. The Retina Display in the third-gen tablet is actually SHA tech, DisplaySearch claims, stacking an organic film over the top of the pixels so as to increase their aperture ratio and allow for boosted resolution. However, it also demands some serious increase in backlight power: twice as many LEDs, in fact, the analysts estimate.

A Dell display is an iPad devs’ best friend

, Mar 8th 2012 Discuss [5]

The iOS developer's best friend might not be a new iMac or even a Mac Pro, when looking to create Retina Display apps for the new iPad, but in fact hardware with the far less fashionable Dell logo. Apple's Phil Schiller joked during the new iPad keynote yesterday that the 2048 x 1536 tablet actually had more pixels than the floor to ceiling presentation screen behind him; however, that resolution presents a significant issue for iOS app developers, since none of Apple's own OS X hardware supports the new iPad's full resolution.

Samsung flexible OLED gadgets incoming this year

, Feb 29th 2012 Discuss [13]

Samsung is mass producing flexible OLED displays for products still on track for release in 2012, the company has confirmed, though the exact extent to which they actually bend will depend on more than just the panels themselves. Samsung Mobile Display's assistant president confirmed the sales plans this week, Asia Economy Park News reports, insisting that "flexible displays will be commercialized within a year." The initial implementations are expected to include smartphones and tablets. Read The Full Story

Has Apple shown us the iPad 3 Retina Display already?

, Feb 28th 2012 Discuss [4]

Apple's iPad 3 event invite doesn't just confirm the March 7 launch of the third-gen tablet: it's also the most official suggestion so far that a Retina Display is indeed on the slate's spec sheet. Take a look at the invite graphic Apple included - complete with the tagline "We have something you really have to see. And touch" - and the on-screen graphics certainly look smoother and more precise than what the current 1024 x 768 iPad 2 offers. Read The Full Story

ZTE Era Hands-on

, Feb 27th 2012 Discuss [2]

Along with the rest of their 2012 rebirth announced earlier today via a torrent of Android smartphones, the ZTE Era stood out as a powerhouse to be reckoned with. We've gotten the chance to take a hands-on look at an early build of this device now, it and its giant AP30+1450 quad-core processor, Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0, and 4.3-inch TFT display at qHD 960 x 540 pixel resolution. This device is certainly ZTE's greatest effort yet. Read The Full Story

The last couple of weeks have been littered with undeniably savory images of the iPad 3's supposed components, and this week's weibo images of a glass front with digitizer comes with an even juicier tip than the photo itself: launch dates. To access the origin of the image here you'll have to sign up and take a peek at this Weibo weblog and have at all the tips this one insider seems to have. Along with the photo you see here, it being a clear indicator of the utter similarities between the iPad 2 and the iPad 3, you'll find that this tipster also has some release dates: mid-March for the USA, April for France, Germany, Japan, and the UK, and a June 1st release date for China and Hong Kong.
