After teasing with a foam mockup, Art Lebedev Studios have released the first 3D prototype shot of the in-development Optimus Popularis keyboard. The keyboard is shorter than the original Optimus Maximus, with the extra row of shortcut keys moved from the left of the main keys to above the function keys. However it seems to [...]
Qualcomm has announced the industry’s first color IMOD displays, which will be used by Freestyle Audio for their latest rugged PMPs. IMOD, which stands for Interferometric Modulation, is currently marketed under Qualcomm’s mirasol brand; previously only bichrome displays using the technology were available, already being used in a number of cellphones. The mirasol displays are similar [...]
Art Lebedev Studios, the team behind the Optimus Maximus keyboard, have released some fresh (if scant) detail on their next project. Named Optimus Popularis, as the name suggests it’s another keyboard but one aimed more at general consumers. Estimating a sub-$1,000 final pricetag, it apparently won’t use OLEDs for the keys but ”will be based on [...]
DuPont and Dainippon Screen have announced a partnership deal to develop the next generation of AMOLED (active matrix organic light-emitting diode) display panels. The collaboration will see the latter’s unique nozzle-printing technology, in which AMOLED panels are printed at high-speed, used with the former’s small molecule-based OLED solution materials and proprietary process technology.

This week’s highlight has been the SlashGear team knuckling down to cover HTC’s London launch of the Touch Diamond smartphone. Our hands-on video of the Windows Mobile 6.1 device is pulling in some serious views, so if the thought of a 3G iPhone is leaving you cold then you need to be checking out the [...]
Sony’s XEL-1 OLED TV is undeniably awesome, despite being only 11-inches, but owners may have less time to coo and weep over its beauty than they originally thought. According to a report from DisplaySearch, which goes into even more surgical detail than at the Embedded Systems Conference, Sony’s lifespan estimate of around 30,000 hours for [...]
Mere days after Samsung announced its AMOLED TV production line would reach economy of scale by 2009, LG have countered with their own timeline for the low-power displays. With ongoing investment into the technology, LG is expecting volume production of a 32-inch OLED TV sometime in 2011. The news comes as the company released details [...]
Samsung has reiterated its commitment to AMOLED display technology, claiming the panels will reach an economy of scale in terms of production sometime during 2009. According to Woo-Jong Lee, who is VP of Samsung SDI’s mobile display marketing team, medium and large scale applications will become increasingly relevant for the technology, as production ramps up [...]
For some reason the announcement of a newer, thinner OLED TV by Sony and the attention of an event gave someone cause to disassemble an 11-inch OLED TV that costs $2500. It’s 3mm thick, so reassembly was probably harder than disassembly.
If the 11-inch XEL-1 was too thick for you at 3mm for an OLED screen, Sony has a new on up their sleeve that manages to almost be more anorexic than paper. For reference, and average sheet of paper is roughly .1mm thick, so stack three sheets together, push down on it to remove an [...]
