LG to launch a new wall-mounted flat 55" GALLERY OLED TV next week
Sep 2nd
LG announced it will launch a new OLED TV at the IFA 2013 exhibition next week. The GALLERY OLED TV ( 55EA8800 ) seems to be similar to the flat 55EM9700 , except that it is wall-mounted. The TV also offers a 2.2 channel sound system in the frame (see image below) using LG’s new Canvas Speakers and a special Gallery Mode that shows high-res images of famous paintings (that’s why they call it a GALLERY TV) LG did not reveal the price of this TV yet – and when and where it’ll be launched. We can guess it will be similar to the EM9700 – which is now on sale in South Korea for 9.9 million won (about $8,900) , and in the UK for £9,999 (about $15,000, but it’s likely that LG will reduce the price soon).

Samsung’s KN55S9C sub-pixel design
Sep 1st
French site Lesnumeriques posted an article on Samsung’s KN55S9C curved OLED TV , in which they include a macro-photo showing the TV’s sub pixels up close: As you can see, the blue subpixels are bigger than the red and green ones (about twice as large). This was designed this way because the blue OLED has the lowest lifetime – if it is bigger then you can lower the brightness and so conserve lifetime. We’ve seen many OLED displays with differently-sized subpixels – including PenTile ones and the rather unique display used in the Note 2 . Read more about Samsung's KN55S9C sub-pixel design

CPT shows an AMOLED based smart glass HMD
Sep 1st
Taiwanese CPT is showing a new prototype smart glass HMD that uses an AMOLED microdisplay. This Google Glass like product is “ready to ship”: CPT is using a 0.5″ 800×600 (SVGA) microdisplay with a display area of 10.13×7.61 mm. It simulates a 15″ display from 2.5 meters. As far as I know OLighTEK (a Chinese-based OLED microdisplay maker) is the only company that ships 0.5″ SVGA OLED microdisplays so it is likely that they are the display supplier. CPT is also developing AMOLED displays , but as far as I know they do not produce OLED microdisplays. Read more about CPT shows an AMOLED based smart glass HMD

Samsung’s missing OLED TVs from IFA 2012 finally found in Germany
Sep 1st
A year after two Samsung OLED TVs were lost in Germany during shipment to the IFA 2012 show , it is reported today that those two TVs were finally found in Germany. The two 55″ flat OLED TVs were found in Germany and were not damaged (the paper boxes were ripped open though). Samsung asked the German police to continue its investigation due to the possibility of its link to a technology leak. It’s been a while since we heard anything regarding Samsung and LG’s OLED technology feud. The two Korean companies have been fighting over OLED (and other technologies) patents for a long time.The companies agreed to resolve their OLED dispute outside of the court of law and SDC’s CEO even said the two companies are considering cross-licensing patents – but the OLED issues between the two Korean giants obviously isn’t over and in April 2013 it was reported that the South Korean police searched the offices of Samsung Display as part of the investigation into alleged large-sized OLED TV technology theft from LG Display .

On the 4K vs OLED battle for the next premium TV technology
Aug 30th
It seems that in the next few years (before OLED TV prices hopefully drop to a comparable level to LCDs), people wanting to buy a premium TV will have two options: 4K LCDs or FHD OLED TVs. 4K resolutions usually means 3840 × 2160 (although some offer different resolutions) – or about 4 times the pixels of FHD resolution, hence the 4K name. 4K OLED prototype (Sony) Obviously this makes sense. The higher pixel density means smoother images. But does it really make sense? There are two main issues here: suitable content and whether you can actually tell the difference.

iSuppli sees the flexible OLED market growing from $21 million in 2013 to almost $12 billion by 2020
Aug 29th
IHS says that they expect flexible OLED sales to reach $21.9 million in 2013 and grow quickly to almost $100 million in 2014. The flexible OLED market will continue growing at a very fast rate as it will reach almost $4 billion by 2018 and almost $12 billion by 2020. This is a very aggressive forecast. IHS says that they expect flexible OLEDs to bring about an “unprecedented change in flat displays”. Those displays will make an “innovative change in the conventional display industry structure once commercialized”. The first products will be plastic-based OLEDs which are thin and durable. Rollable and foldable OLEDs are forecasted to be introduced after 2016. Read more about iSuppli sees the flexible OLED market growing from $21 million in 2013 to almost $12 billion by 2020

AUO uses Corning’s Lotus Glass in its new HD AMOLED panels
Aug 29th
Corning announced today that it has been collaborating with AUO on high-performance displays, and AUO’s new 5″ HD720 AMOLED panels shown at Touch Taiwan use Corning’s Lotus Glass. As far as I understand, they are using Corning’s latest generation Lotus Glass XT . AUO says they selected the Lotus Glass platform because of the glass substrate’s outstanding thermal and dimensional stability, which facilitates efficient panel manufacturing during rigorous, high-temperature processing.

Panasonic’s 4K OLED at IFA 2013
Aug 29th
Some web sites are reporting that Panasonic is set to unveil a 20″ 4K OLED tablet at the IFA 2013 event next week. Those sites are relying on auto-translated Japanese text. But in fact the company will not show such a tablet. In an English PR, Panasonic says they will show a 4K 20″ tablet and a 4K OLED panel prototype – those are two different devices. I’m guessing Panasonic’s 4K OLED panel will be the same 56″ 4K (3840×2160) OLED TV panel shown at CES 2013. This panel was made using an “all-printing” method. Sumitomo Chemical revealed that this TV prototype used the company’s PLED materials. Panasonic’s panel uses a substrate (probably Oxide-TFT) provided by Sony (which are actually made by AU Optronics ) – as part of the two companies collaboration .
