Dec 5th
Samsung Mobile Display produced a short Video (in Korean) showing a transparent, flexible 3D AMOLED display based tablet. This is obviously just a concept device, and it’ll take years before they’ll be able to commercialize something like that, but it’s still cool:

Is Samsung’s Galaxy Tab 7.7 coming soon to the US?
Nov 17th
We haven’t heard anything regarding Samsung’s Galaxy Tab 7.7 since they announced it back in September – so it’s good to hear that the Super AMOLED plus packing Tablet has arrived at the FCC for testing and approval. We still do not have any release date (or price information, for that matter) and hopefully this means that the Tab 7.7 is coming soon. The Galaxy Tab 7.7 is the world’s first tablet with an OLED display, a 7.7″ Super AMOLED Plus panel, offering 1280×800 resolution. Other specs include Android v2.3, Dual-core 1.4 Ghz processor, HSPA+ radio, 16GB to 64GB internal storage and a microSD slot, Wi-Fi, GPS and two cameras (3MP and 2MP). read more

Sony announces a new 720p OLED microdisplay
Nov 4th
Sony released a new OLED microdisplay today, the 0.7″ ECX332A which offers 1280×720 (720p) resolution. This microdisplay is aimed towards electronic viewfinder (EVF) applications and offers 97% NSTC color gamut, 0.01ms response time and 200 cd/m2 brightness. The ECX332A employs the same white OLED and color-filters architecture as Sony’s 0.5″ XGA ECX331A (the one used in the A77 and A65 DSLRs and the NEX-7 and NEX-5N mirrorless interchangeable-lens cameras). read more

New Apple patent describes a transparent OLED on solid background, new OLED iPhone rumors emerge
Nov 4th
Apple filed a new patent describing a new display system which incorporates a transparent OLED on a solid white background. The idea is to conserve battery use – and when there’s a need to display a white pixel, you simply switch the OLED pixel off, which then shows the white background beneath. The system also includes a switchable layer between the OLED and the white background. This layer can be either transparent or black – which will allow to see black pixels (which is not possible in normal transparent OLEDs). Apple has filed several OLED patents in the past years. In July the company filed a patent for a 3D multiple transparent OLED displays device , and in February the company filed three different OLED patents , the main one being an OLED with an integrated touch sensor. read more

Corning’s new Lotus Glass is suitable for high-end OLED and LCD displays
Oct 28th
Corning launched a new glass called Lotus Glass, which was developed for cutting-edge displays – such as OLEDs and next-gen LCDs (based on LTPS and Oxide-TFTs). Corning explains that the new glass has a high annealing point that delivers the thermal and dimensional stability required by these new high-performance displays. Lotus Glass has already been qualified and is now in production. Lotus Glass’s intrinsic stability means it can withstand the manufacturing thermal cycles better than conventional glass, and so enable tighter design rules needed in advanced backplanes (which are needed for high resolution and fast response time). It’s good to see a new glass substrate from Corning, although we’re still waiting for Corning’s future flexible glass as shown in their ” Day made of glass ” video released a few months ago (which features future designs made with durable, transparent and even flexible glass displays): read more
