Titan X Should be Used for UltraHD – And Only UltraHD

In a series of benchmarking tests, Hexus has determined that Nvidia’s new Titan X GPU (Titan X: A Low-Cost Answer to Titan Z) is capable of driving UltraHD content at very high frame rates (from 84fps to 111fps, on average) when used in an SLI configuration. In fact, using the card for anything other than … Read more

Nissan Leaf – is it a display?

I recently opined to a group of display industry experts that I thought “the next big thing” in the display industry was not going to be related to some incremental improvement related to high-information-content image quality or performance.

Researchers Discover Self-Healing Nanowire Properties

Silver nanowires are one option to replace ITO as a conductive material in displays – they are lower-cost and flexible – but research has been limited due to a lack of understanding about their mechanical properties. Horacio Espinosa is a researcher at Northwestern University in the USA, and has led an examination into nanowires’ behaviour. … Read more

Light Polymers Lowers Cost of OLED Contrast Improvements

US/Taiwan-based Light Polymers has developed a lyotropic liquid crystal material (CR006) that can be coated on substrates, or directly onto OLED panel glass, to improve the contrast and readability of OLED displays. The reflective transistors driving OLED displays can cause lower contrast in bright environments. Traditionally, a linear polariser and quarter-wave plate are added on … Read more
