Have Sony Given up on OLED TV’s?

A few weeks ago at Gadget Show Live I had the chance to check out Sony’s XEL-1 OLED TV. The TV measures 11″ diagonal and is just 3mm thick. The TV has been around a while now and unfortunately it will be Sony’s last OLED TV that they work on. A Sony spokesman admitted ‘We really made the XEL-1 just to prove that we could make it. Sony believe that OLED technology is more suited to mobile type devices.

Research/predictions done recently suggest that the big players in the OLED field in the future will be Panasonic, LG, Toshiba and Samsung with no mention of Sony. The OLED TV industry in just 6 years time is expected to be worth $5.5 billion so it seems odd that Sony have pulled the plug so to speak. (Hopefully we get official word soon on this matter as it’s unlike Sony to pull out of something like this).

OLED TV’s are fantastic devices as they have an extremely good contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1, reduced power consumption and are extremely thin. The current hurdle at the moment is cost with the XEL-1 costing up near $2500 for an 11″ screen. But, technology does get cheaper as advancements are made and it’s only a matter of time when we stick an ultra thin telly to our wall. [Read more…]

Samsung 850 PAVV Plasma only 29mm thick

samsung_hd_850_pav_plasma_hdtvSamsung have revealed their latest plasma screen that measures just 29mm in thickness. This fancy looking HDTV is named the 850 PAVV and is capable of full 1080p playback. Other features on this TV include DivX support as well as a USB 2.0 port.

Samsung have put a lot of work in to this TV. The TV is 40% more efficient in power then the previous versions and also is 20% lighter at a weight of 26kg. Packed inside the TV is Samsung’s Full HD Crystal Engine as well as DLNA support and 240Hz refresh rates.

A larger 58 inch version is also being made available also the depth and other specs are unknown at the moment.

Of course you could just go for a portable digital tv that isn’t big in size either… although it might not quite look right on your wall.

Touchscreens with Popup Buttons

Touchscreens have advanced a lot over the last few years. As technology has advanced they seem to be more easier to use and a lot more responsive. Mix this with faster processors and faster operating systems you then get an even smoother scrolling and functioning system. However, they are still not quite where they need to be. For example, sending a text message on a mobile phone with only a touchscreen can be quite a pain. Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University have now developed a screen that can slightly change shape to form buttons across the screen when needed. [Read more…]

Evolution R-1 Projector from Beambox

micro-pico-projectorPico Projectors are about the size of a mobile phone and are capable of projecting a 50 – 60 inch screen in a darkened room. Beambox have created their version of the Pico which has a brightness level of 30 lumens. It is named the Evolution R-1 pico and promises up to a 100 inch sized screen.

The Evolution R-1 Pico uses an LCoS chip that displays a resolution of 640 x 480 pixels. A mixture of this slightly higher resolution and a 30 lumens brightness make it one nice little projector. The LCoS chips use tiny liquid crystals that are applied to the surface of a silicone chip. This allows for higher resolutions with more contrast on regular DLP projectors. Beambox have used this technology but have shrunk down the resolution a bit and squashed it in to their projector. Hopefully it will work well. [Read more…]
