Image Portal offers their modular OLED display IP on auction
Mar 5th
Image Portal are selling their OLED related patents – which will be auctioned off at ICAP Ocean Tomo’s Spring 2011 Live IP Auction on March 31, 2011 in New York City. Basically their invention is using several small OLED display tiles to create one large, seamless and continuous OLED display. This is achieved by making the edges of the tiles tilted at an angle and so the remaining portion is kept underneath the display area of an adjacent tile and is used for electrical connections. Using smaller OLED tiles to create a large display is not a new idea (that’s how Mitsubishi’s Diamond Vision OLED screens work) – but here the company is describing a display in which you won’t be able to see the seams between the display.

NanoPhotonica develops new QLED display technology
Mar 4th
Last month we reported about Samsung’s new 4″ active-matrix QLED display prototype , and now we hear that NanoPhotonica has developed new QLED technology (which they call S-QLED). Compared to current available OLED displays, S-QLED use fewer layers, is solution-processable (and can be produced using inkjet printing) and uses inorganic materials. In fact NanoPhotonica claims that S-QLED displays will be 75% cheaper than current OLEDs, be more efficient (by 30%) and will have double the lifetime. NanoPhotonica is currently working with several display manufacturers to commercialize the displays. The company hopes to bring this to market “soon”. read more

Samsung’s Galaxy S2 to ship in the UK on March 31st?
Feb 27th
According to Play.com , Samsung’s Galaxy S2 will ship on March 31st. The price is £600 for an unlocked phone (no contract). If true this will probably be the first Super AMOLED Plus phone that actually ships. The Galaxy S2 has a WVGA 4.3″ Super AMOLED plus display, 1Ghz dual-core processor, NFC, Bluetooth 3 and HSPA+. It’s only 8.49mm thick at its thinnest point.

Samsung developed a 5.2" glasses-free 3D AMOLED panel for mobile devices
Feb 18th
Samsung developed a new 5.2″ glasses-free 3D AMOLED panel for mobile applications. Samsung uses a six-subpixel structured white OLED with color filters. The 3D is achieved using fixed parallax barriers and the AMOLED panel features only about 5% crosstalk and is only 1mm thick. Samsung will present this new panel at SID 2011 (May 15-21). There will be a lot of other OLED presentations and new devices shown at SID .

Sony announces the Trimaster EL professional OLED monitors (17" and 25")
Feb 16th
Back in January we reported that Sony plans to release new professional OLED monitors – and they finally did so today. The Trimaster EL series offers two sizes – 17″ ( BVM-E170 ) and 25″ ( BVM-E250 ). The monitors offer hyper-accurate color reproduction and ‘perfect’ image quality without motion blur due to the OLED’s fast response time. The display support HDMI, DisplayPort, 3G-SDI, SD-SDI and HD-SDI. The monitors are thin – 148mm in depth. These monitors aren’t cheap: the BVM-E250 will be released in Japan in May 2011 for 2.5 million yen ($30,000) and the BVM-E170 will be released in July for 1.3 million yen ($15,000).

Super AMOLED Plus vs Super AMOLED video
Feb 14th
We’ve got a lot of Super AMOLED Plus news today. Here’s a short video comparing the Galaxy S2 (with its 4.3″ Super AMOLED Plus display) to a Galaxy S (4″ Super AMOLED ) and an iPhone 4 (3.5″ IPS-LCD). The most apparent thing about the S2 – it’s a big phone…

Super AMOLED Plus resolution explained
Feb 14th
Earlier today we posted about the Super AMOLED plus resolution – and now we got our answer. It turns out that my calculations about the pentile matrix were incorrect – it fact it uses 2 sub-pixels for each pixel while a ‘real’ RGB matrix (or Real-Stripe as Samsung calls it) uses 3 sub-pixels for each pixels – and here’s your 50% increase. Here’s Samsung’s own image showing the difference: It also turns out that a Real-Stripe matrix also takes up more space per pixel. This explains why a 4.3″ display that uses Real-Stripe has the same resolution as a 4″ with a penTile matrix. But this display should actually be clearer because of the added sub-pixels and better matrix design. read more

Chimei Innolux – not back into AMOLEDs after all?
Feb 3rd
Two days ago we published a story saying that Chimei Innolux seems to be producing AMOLEDs again . We got just word (from a trusted source) that the company actually plans to scrap all OLED plans, and shift all LTPS capacity back to LCD. This is strange as it seems the company is still recruiting AMOLED engineers and researchers. Perhaps they will shift the current Gen-3.5 OLED plant to LCD, but they still have plans to make AMOLEDs in the future (in the Gen-5.5 plant in Tainan, as stated in the company’s presentation ).
