Corning – a day made of glass 2
Feb 6th
Back in April 2011 Corning produced a nice video called A Day Made of Glass , showing future designs made with durable, transparent and even flexible glass displays. Now Corning is back with a sequel, showing the same family but with some new ideas in the home, car, classroom, outdoor and work environments: A lot of these displays can be achieved with OLEDs, although OLEDs aren’t specifically mentioned in those video. Just a few days ago Corning announced an OLED glass joint-venture with Samsung . Corning also released an unpacked version of this video- that includes explanations about the technology shown in the video: read more

Daimler’s Smart Forvision car concept uses transparent white OLEDs
Sep 14th
Daimler unveiled a new concept EV (the Smart Forvision). This concept car has a transparent solar-panels on the roof, see-through dashboard and transparent OLEDs for internal lighting. Daimler partnered with BASF on the plastic wheels, heat shield and new aluminum fiber paints. We do not know whether BASF is also involved with the transparent OLED panels. In any case, these transparent OLEDs are hexagonal – which makes us think these might be made by Philips (the only company we know of that makes such shapes, and we’ve seen transparent OLED lighting panels from Philips since back in 2009 , so they have the technology). Anyway, this new OLED-equipped car is great looking… read more

Toray and Cambrios develop the world’s most transparent conductive film
Apr 8th
Toray developed a new silver nano-wire based transparent conductive film that offers a light transmittance of 90% or more and surface resistivity, which is a measure of conductivity, between 150 and 250 ohm/sq- using wet coating method (Toray says that this is the world’s best film in terms of transparency and conductivity). The new material also offers superior flexibility, natural coloration, durability and workability. Toray will begin mass production in the ‘near future’. The new material was developed in partnership with Cambrios (who are also collaborating with Plextronics ). The companies say that this new material can find applications in touch panels, solar cells and OLED electrodes. read more

Transparent TABOLA OLED Lighting panels shown on video, to be available Q1 2011
Oct 28th
Last week, the Fraunhofer IPMS Institute unveiled new OLED lighting panels called TABOLA made at COMEDD . Those panels will come as either bottom-emitting or transparent, and today we got official word that these panels, including the transparent ones will indeed be available in Q1 2011. Here’s a great video showing those panels: The video shows the TABOLA sample kits which includes 3 different panels, including a transparent one. You can also see a ceiling lamp with 3 OLED panels (330x330mm²) – made by the OLED100.eu project, and also a flexible OLED.

TAT shows the future of screen technology
Sep 12th
TAT (a Swedish software technology and design company) has produced a beautiful video showing the future of screen technology: flexible, stretchable displays, transparent screens, augmented UI and more. They do not mention OLEDs directly, but obviously these can fit right in. I’m not sure whether we’ll be able to cope with so much information all the time…

Samsung developed touch transparent AMOLEDs
Sep 9th
Samsung has developed a touch-enabled transparent AMOLEDs, and has a very nice demo showing it off. Sadly we do not have any technical details about this display, or when Samsung expects to commercialize it… Back in February, we learned that Samsung is strongly into transparent AMOLEDs , and want to introduce several new products that use this technology. Here’s another great use of transparent OLEDs in a wine point-of-sale or museum or information center.

Transparent Light OLED Origami
Aug 10th
Universal Display has created a nice demo of their transparent OLED lighting panels – the Transparent Light Origami (TLO). It is made from 16 triangular glass PHOLED (Phosphorescent-OLEDs) panels that glow in either red, blue or green. When turned off, the panels are clear. Each panel is connected to the next via a friction hinge, so the structure can be folded and bent into a variety of shapes. The design of the TLO was inspired by the observation that colors emitted by overlapping transparent PHOLED panels combine in an additive way, as is the case with overlapping PHOLED materials in an OLED panel. Red and green produces yellow, red and blue produces magenta, etc. All three colors overlapping produce white light. As illustrated by the TLO, when overlapping layers of red, green and blue PHOLED materials are sandwiched within a single panel, white light is emitted.

AUO buys AFPD’s LTPS line, will use it to make AMOLED displays
Jul 23rd
AU Optronics has completed its acquisition of Toshiba Mobile Display’s subsidiary, AFPD. This is part of AUO’s strategic move into AMOLED production. AFPD has a Gen-4.5 LTPS plant, which can be used to produce OLED backplanes. AUO 14-inch OLED prototype AUO wants to quickly start making AMOLEDs, because of the enormous demand for small sized displays. AUO is also working on its own manufacturing line, which will go online in 2011 . read more

Microsoft uses a transparent OLED with a camera underneath for gesture control
Jun 24th
Transparent OLEDs are exciting (and Samsung wants to tap that market ) – but a lot of people wonder what is it really good for? Microsoft is showing a nice concept: using a camera beneath a transparent OLED to create gesture-based UI. The camera “sees-through” the OLED: Microsoft are using a Samsung-made transparent AMOLED panel.
