LG Display’s booth featured the LG Electronics 77″ UltraHD TV, using its panel on the front of the booth, and it was catching everyone’s eye. It has great contrast and pretty good HDR performance, but reports as we went to press suggested that the TVs using the panel would be priced at $38,000, so we … Read more
Several weeks ago, Ken wrote a Display Daily on a start-up called ClearInk (CLEARink Brings New Wrinkle to Electrophoretic Displays). I was travelling at the time and, unusually, I didn’t edit it – the second best way to understand what a company is doing (the best is writing an article!). As a result, the company … Read more

It seems pretty straight forward that the augmented reality solutions are most beneficial in applications where visual content adds to the task at hand. In this case the EPFL (Ecole Polytechnique Federale De Lausanne, Switzerland) has combined an IR camera with augmented reality glasses to allow firefighters to see hot spots inside buildings where smoke … Read more
At SID DisplayWeek in San Francisco, there were several demonstrations of 3D technology on the show floor, which we summarize below. We did not review any papers, however. SeeFront is a German company developing monitors for glasses-free 3D viewing. They were at SID last year and this year we asked for an update. Not too … Read more
We did not review the many papers on AR/VR at SID, so below is a summary of what was being shown on the exhibit floor. BOE showed a prototype panel that was 2.8” in diagonal and had UHD resolution. That works out as 1600 ppi – squarely in microdisplay territory, yet it is a direct … Read more
