Sometimes we wonder how far technology will develop and what wonders we prepare scientists in their laboratories well

hidden from sight. Well, latest news in technology comes from the displays side. Scientists have created a prototype of an electronic display thinner than a coin that can be crumpled like a paper. The new toy has flexible organic diodes, a color filter, and a protective layer that can be produced only at low temperatures. After a total of 10,000 bending, the screen brightness decreases very little, and the difference was so small that the human eye could not to detect. These data come from researchers fromSamsung and Korean scientists from Purdue University, Indiana, who collaborated to develop this display. While bending deformed liquid crystal displays, new approach could make the screens to be manufactured in one piece. The only thing that we can do until we benefit from this new flexible display is to wait and hope that the prototype of scientists to come as quickly in mass production. read more about Display bent 10,000 times without losing brightness

Samsung introduce in production flexible Amoled displays in 2012

After making public the technology used for flexible displays at CES 2011, Samsung go forward and announces launch of new products with flexible display starting with 2012.

Mass production of flexible AMOLED display will begin in 2012, and is made in collaboration with Ube Kosan. Japanese company Ube Kosan aims to supply with plastic substrate material. Samsung is planning a production line of 1000 m. And this is just the beginning. I wonder why Samsung made ??this decision suddenly, to produce mobile devices with flexible display. The answer came sooner than I expected. After some market research has been established as 2015 market devices with flexible display is expected to reach 2.4 billion dollars. In 2012 Samsung will introduce on the market the first mobile device with flexible display. There are rumors that the first product with such a display will be a smartphone. Chances are high considering that Samsung introduced a prototype smartphone at CES 2011 with cylindrical AMOLED display. Technology demonstration was made on a screen with a 4.5-inch WVGA, a screen that shows the highest resolution for a flexible display. Maybe you think about a resolution greater than 480800 pixels, but now this resolution was possible. The weight of such display is very small, weight only 2.1 g. Besides a very small weight, thickness not exceeding 0.27mm. read more about Samsung introduce in production flexible Amoled displays in 2012

ROLL ME green personal computer

ROLL ME is a project that shows future computer. Ecological, with low power consumption and which occupies little space, the device is able to integrate in an innovative way the characteristics of a computer. This time a rigid computer screen is replaced by e-paper which enables reading in sunlight and can also be packed in roll form to be transported more easily. To be build such device, will appeal to nanotechnology. It is the only technology that allows construction of such a computer. Energy consumption is not a problem for this device; an e-paper screen has in general a very low power consumption.

Super AMOLED
0 inShare Samsung's Super-AMOLED displays are AMOLED displays with an integrated touch function. Samsung has placed a touch-sensor (on-cell) over the display and made it evaporate. The thickness of the touch sensor is just 0.001mm (!) this allows the screen to provide better images and to have great visibility even in direct sunlight (Samsung says that they perform 20% better than regular touch AMOLED outdoors). SuperAMOLEDs also have better lifetime than regular AMOLED and are very responsive to touch - even better than the iPhone's display. Super-AMOLED have been announced in January 2010.

Super-AMOLED use PenTile matrix Samsung's Super-AMOLED displays use the company's Pentile matrix sub-pixel design. That means that the Green sub-pixel is shared by two pixels and the display has only 2 sub-pixels per real 'pixel' compared to the classic RGB matrix design (or Real-Stripe). You can see a PenTile matrix vs a Real-Stripe one on the images below (the PenTile is on the right):

Super-AMOLED: the best mobile touch display This display is indeed spectacular. People who've seen it say that it's bright and crisp has unbelievable colors, perform great under sunlight and is simply 'the best display found in any phone". Here are a few photos showing the Wave next to a Nexus One and to a Nokia X6. The difference is showing, alright, click on the photos to see it better (the Wave phone is the top phone in both photos):

The s8500 wave The first device to have a Super AMOLED is the upcoming s8500 Wave phone, with a 3.3" display. The phone is also the first one to run Samsung's Bada OS and have bluetooth 3.0. Other features include a 5Mp camera, 1Ghz processor, Wi-Fi, a-GPS, 2/8GB of internal memory, microSD slot and 720p video recording/encoding.

In display technology, FOLED (flexible organic light emitting device) is an organic light emitting device (OLED) built on a flexible base material, such as clear plastic film or reflective metal foil, instead of the usual glass base. FOLED displays can be rolled up, folded, or worn as part of a wearable computer. The devices are said to be lighter, more durable, and less expensive to produce than the traditional glassbased alternatives. FOLED's light-weight base materials significantly decrease the overall weight of a screen. This capacity makes FOLED displays especially useful for portable

devices, such as laptop computers and other displays where weight is a consideration, such as large wall-mounted screens. Furthermore, a FOLED display is less prone to breakage than a glass-based display and compared to the siliconbased LCD displays used for small displays and flat-screen monitors, much less expensive to produce. Time Magazine named Universal Display Corporation (UDC)'s rollable FOLED wirelessmonitor prototype one of the best 10 envionmentally-friendly technologies for 2002. UDC is working on such FOLED-based products as rollable, refreshable electronic newspapers and video screens embedded in car windshields, walls, windows, and office partitions. According to UDC VP Janice Mahon, we could see such products on the market within five years. FOLEDs are among a number of organic LED variations in development. UDC is also developing TOLED (transparent OLED), PHOLED (phosphorescent OLED), and SOLED(stacked OLED) technologies

PMOLED stands for Passive-Matrix OLED, which relates to the way you control (or drive) the display. A PMOLED display uses a simple control scheme in which you control each row (or line) in the display sequentially (one at a time). PMOLED electronics do not contain a storage capacitor and so the pixels in each line are actually off most of the time. To compensate for this you need to use more voltage to make them brighter. If you have 10 lines, for example, you have to make the one line that is on 10 times as bright (the real number is less then 10, but that's the general idea).

PMOLED vs AMOLED The other kind of OLED displays is called AMOLED (or Active-Matrix OLED). AMOLED use a TFT that contains a storage capacitor which maintains the line pixels lit all the time (even though just one line is changed each time). AMOLEDs consume less power than PMOLEDs, have faster refresh rates and allows to build larger display with higher resolutions. AMOLEDs are also more complicated and expensive to fabricate.
