Author: Verа Kozlova Translation by:

Samsung SDI has developed an LCD for mobile devices, which can display a 3D image. According to the company, it is the first one to create an LCD under AMOLED technology (active-matrix OLED). (LG, Philips and Kodak also work on AMOLED LCD). You can see the display at the current SID 2006 exhibition (Society for Information Display International Symposium and Exhibition) in San Francisco.

The LCD features a 4.3” diagonal and WQVGA (480x272) resolution. It works with 3D images much quicker than the existing LCD, besides it has better resolution. Samsung believes, such LCD will be widely applied in mobile phones. Besides the company works on such LCDs for TV sets and notebooks. The commercial stage is expected to begin in 2007.

Polygon: a clamshell phone with the sensor screen instead of the keyboard [ 05-06-2006 15:56 ]

Author: Verа Kozlova Translation by:

Alloy Total Product Design has developed a concept of a multimedia phone called the Polygon. It’s a clamshell with two screens inside. The first one has a large size, high resolution and optimization for TV programs.

The traditional keyboard is replaced with the sensor screen of lower resolution. Such design has some major advantages – the navigation user’s interface gets changed depending on the context (unlike the keyboard the sensor screen doesn’t have a fixed assignment to the existing buttons), besides it’s possible to work in portrait and landscape modes.

Hybrid sensor screen for slimmer mobile devices [ 05-06-2006 13:33 ]

Author: Verа Kozlova Translation by:

At the SID 2006 exhibition (Society for information Display International Symposium and Exhibition) in San Francisco (4-9 June) Samsung Electronics is showing its developments in the display sphere. Among them are a 7” single chip LCD and a 3.5” hybrid QVGA LCD with the touchscreen called hTSP (hybrid Touch Screen Panel).

Usually ordinary LCD-panels with the touchscreen require a separate microchip for sensor functionality, which was attached on the top of the panel. Uncustomary the Samsung product has all necessary electronic chips inside the panel. In result mobile devices with such LCD can be slimmer and lighter, at the same time contrast and brightness won’t be affected. This LCD can be applied in portable electronics with the touchscreen, for example, car navigators or media players, and also smartphones, communicators and ultra mobile PC.
