Empowering display industry professionals with cutting-edge insights and analysis
In the recently published “Touch and Emerging Display Monthly Report,” Touch Display Research Inc., an independent market research and consulting firm, analyzes flexible display technologies and market forecast, OLED, the Quantum Dot Forum 2015, Flex 2015 Conference, and flexible batteries. “I attended and presented at the ‘Quantum Dot Forum 2015? in San Francisco, and it … Read more
Alleged pictures of the case of Apple’s iPhone 6C have been leaked. Blog “Future Supplier” published the images, which show a differently-shaped cutout for the camera and speakers compared to the iPhone 5C. View the images at http://tinyurl.com/nalortg. Comment We haven’t heard of Future Supplier before, so treat this with caution. (TA)
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
Images that are claimed to display Apple’s much-rumoured large iPad Pro show the tablet with two ports. The images, from Dutch website Vandaag Apple, show an opening on the side of the tablet that looks very similar to a USB-C port. The usual leaked image disclaimers apply.
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. It was instead going to be related to very low-information-content technology that could be inexpensively deployed across … Read more
Blu, a high-concept ‘wearable smartphone’ – which would literally curve around the wrist, and uses a 5.3″ flexible OLED display – was due to have its first products shipping in May. This seemed very ambitious for such a unique device, and Kickstarter, where the project was being funded, apparently agrees – funding was suspended last … Read more
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
Barco has again supplied display equipment to China Central Television’s Spring Festival Galaxy. The show, which was broadcast on 19th February (the eve of Chinese New Year), used eight HDF-W26 projectors. It was Barco’s 11th Gala.
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
A new super-thin product has been added to Canatu’s range of transparent, conductive carbon nanobud films. The device is just 23µm thick, and targets thin devices and flexible applications. Canatu claims that it has less than 0.2% haze. The film is more than 50% thinner than Canatu’s other products, enabling one-layer touch at 23µm and … Read more
Testing and certification services are now available for new products using the HDBaseT 2.0 standard. The services conform to the Compliance Test Specification that was recently made available to HDBaseT Alliance members (HDBaseT Alliance Announces Availability of Compliance Testing for Spec 2.0 of HDBaseT Standard).
PMA Research has announced the top-selling projectors in the USA in February. The company divides the results into three categories: ‘pico and personal’, ‘mainstream’ and ‘4,000+ lumen’. Optoma’s EH501 held on to the top spot in the large venue category. Epson had the second- and third-best-selling models, again: the Powerlite Pro G6750Wu and Powerlite 1940W. … Read more
