Nanobrick Miyoul OLED media frames are for your luxurious inner-self
Jan 13th
Remember those elegant mantelpieces with OLED infusion launched at CES ? Turns out they’re from a company called Nanobrick that dubs this product range Miyoul. Most of the 11 models sport multiple screens — either 3.3-inch or 4.1-inch — but such indulgence seems to be out of touch with current OLED prices, not to mention the cost of craftsmanship on top of that. Until the day we can afford a Miyoul in each room, just keep trying your lucky lottery numbers.

Nanosys offers better saturation of LED-backlit displays with nanoscale coating
Jan 12th
While we all wait around for larger-sized OLED displays to become feasible for the consumer market, Nanosys has stolen in and demonstrated a new LED coating technique that proposes to radically improve color saturation in LED-backlit screens. Based on standard blue LEDs — the most efficient kind — this works by applying nanoparticles to the light and thereby endowing it with the desired hue. While the nano-coating can make standalone LED lights far richer in color, the real potential is in its deployment in LED-backlit displays, such as those becoming dominant on laptops today. By employing a coated array of blue LEDs instead of the standard white stuff, this can deliver greater color saturation while fitting within the same energy profile of current LED tech. Products boasting Nanosys’ new hotness are said to be coming out later this year, with some appropriate premium slapped on the price for the fancier output.

OLED becomes art, your bank account becomes empty (video)
Jan 11th
We’re still on the cusp of an OLED revolution for home entertainment — or at least we’re still holding out hope that we are. We’d planned on having big-screen displays by now but we’re instead still dealing with tiny ones along with a never-ending series of concepts . This latest use, spotted at last week’s CES, adds a little artistic flair to the technology, staggering a series of displays and synchronizing the video across them to create some lovely results. We’re not really into the whole lacquered boat look, but the fan-like array of displays is quite interesting to say the least. As is the cost: upwards of $100,000. You could buy a lot of XEL-1 TVs for that money. Video after the break.

Inbrics M1 is the thinnest Android slider we’ve seen, probably everything we ever wanted
Jan 10th
We don’t know what everybody else in the phone business has been doing lately, but Inbrics has just unveiled what looks to be the near-ultimate Android phone. The Inbrics M1 is a slider handset with a (great) 3.7-inch WVGA AMOLED display, 3 megapixel camera, front-facing VGA camera, 16GB of built-in storage, microSD slot and all the other usual trimmings, but what’s particularly stunning is that the phone is not only half an inch thick, but it has a full QWERTY keyboard that’s surprisingly clicky and typable. The phone is running Android 1.5 right now, but it should be up to Android 2.0 by the time it hits the market in March. The biggest concern is the 800MHz Samsung processor, the same chip that’s in the Samsung Moment, but the interface (as demonstrated in the video after the break) is smooth as butter, and they demo’d it playing back 720p video just fine. Inbrics actually has a lot of custom UI and software running on top of Android, but the most interesting part is what they’re doing with video calling and beaming media from handset to videophone to TV to laptop over DLNA or through an access point device that plugs into the TV over HDMI. Inbrics also has a Cover Flow-style media browser that isn’t super deep in functionality, but still puts the stock Android stuff to shame, and some rather sexy custom widgets. The plan is apparently to get a carrier to bite and rebrand this phone in the US, so price and availability are still pretty hard to pin down, but if this phone can hit the market soon it sure could give the rest of the QWERTY Android sliders out there some body image issues.

Fils Sound Film transparent speaker hands-on (video)
Jan 10th
Korean gadgets these days are either gunning for next-to-nothing thinness or mind-boggling transparency , which is marvelous. Today we came across another Korean company (and an old friend ), Fils, which does transparent “sound film” speakers in many forms: photo frame, umbrella, curtains, cap, hoodie and even model yacht (yeah, seriously), all thanks to the highly-flexible piezoelectric film. Sure, the sound quality was hardly top-notch, but apparently Fils is hooking up with a few big-name Korean electronic companies (TVs?), so we’re all going to suffer soon whether you like it or not. Cheer yourself up with the video after the break.

Viliv P3 is like the Zii Egg of devices that don’t run Plaszma OS (hands-on)
Jan 9th
When we approached the just-introduced Viliv P3 , we were cautiously optimistic that we were looking at a phone. Needless to say, our hopes would go on to be mercilessly dashed, but in the wake of the carnage, we were still left with an intriguing PMP with a big AMOLED display and an 800MHz Cortex A8 processor. You could argue that the most compelling feature, though, is that it clocks in at just 9.8mm thick — a full 1.7mm thinner than the Nexus One while still managing 800 x 480 resolution. It felt a little creaky, but we were assured that the unit on hand was an early prototype — and honestly, we’d even be willing to take a little creakiness on a production model if you get this kind of thickness (or lack thereof) in return. It’s also got 720p TV-out, storage up to 32GB, optional T-DMB and DAB tuners, an exposed microSD slot on the bottom, and — check this out — Windows CE dual-boot capability, although the unit here only had Android installed. Stuff an HSPA radio in there and call it good, guys. Follow the break for a quick video of the P3 in action.

Studio XPS 16 OLED concept laptop hands-on
Jan 8th
Beautiful viewing angle and legitimately wide viewing angle, the Studio XPS 16 OLED concept laptop was on hand and turning heads at Dell’s CES suite. It’s definitely a beaut, claiming a super-thin 2mm screen, a 0.004ms response time, and a contrast ratio “exceeding 10,000:1.” The big catch here, as you can see in some of the images below (the giant “Please Do Not Touch” sign deterred us from fixing ourselves) is that the ultra-glossy wrist panel is a beacon for dust. Feast your eyes below! Gallery: Studio XPS 16 OLED concept laptop hands-on Studio XPS 16 OLED concept laptop hands-on originally appeared on Engadget on Fri, 08 Jan 2010 17:20:00 EST.

Samsung 700Z OLED photo frame hands-on
Jan 7th
Man, what is it about OLED displays that makes us weak in the knees? Samsung has gone on an OLED binge here at this year’s CES , stuffing the awesome screen tech into almost anything they can. Next up: the 700Z, a snazzy piano black photo frame that has built in Bluetooth and 4GB of internal memory. There isn’t much else to say about this piece of fingerprint-attracting tech, but it sure does look pretty.

Samsung’s pico projecting W9600 gets a brief hands on
Jan 7th
Samsung made a fairly tame showing at CES but we did bump into a rather sweet bit of integrated projection fun. The W9600 replaces last year’s W7900 , and, like its predecessor, the specs are pretty thin. We do know, however, know that it uses Texas Instruments’ WVGA chip for the projection, has a 5 megapixel cam, a completely beautiful touchscreen AMOLED display, and can project vids, pics, and even the phone’s interface. We’ve always felt that projection phones are pretty toys but ultimately, we didn’t see a really solid reason they existed when we first saw them, and we still don’t with the W9600. That being said, this phone doesn’t feel so much like a work in progress, the focus wheel, finish, branding and the rest make this feel a bit more like a real phone and less like a dummy phone. Of course, the whole point is moot as the Anycall-branded W9600 will likely never make its way to our pockets, let alone our carriers. But do feel free to wander the gallery and take in the sights.
