Display

Back in 2022, Lenovo previewed a novel laptop sporting a display that expanded upward to offer the user more screen real estate. At CES 2025 last week, the company took concept into reality with the launch of the ThinkBook Plus Gen 6.

Digital reader outfit PocketBook has designed what's billed as the world's first ePaper color poster/art display, and has partnered with E Ink and Sharp to bring it to life. The InkPoster comes in three sizes and employs two screen technologies.

Last year, the Looking Glass Factory launched a Kickstarter for a portable "holographic" display that shows three-dimensional imagery without requiring the viewer to don funky glasses. Now the Go is in the wild and we've been sent one to try out.

LG Display has built on the technology powering its flexible screen prototype that stretched by 20% in 2022, announcing what's claimed to be the world's first stretchable display capable of expanding up to 50%.

Last year, Dasung launched what was claimed to be the world's first color E Ink monitor, which was available with curved or flat panels. Now the company has updated the formula for a new model boasting a super-fast (for E Ink) refresh rate of 33 Hz.

Screen size is a laptop’s defining characteristic, and a major consideration when shopping around. Can you get a bigger display and still retain portability? The creators of the TriMax Pro aim to provide a bigger-screen experience in a still-portable package.

While E Ink readers and tablets are great for long-battery, eye-friendly consumption of text in grayscale, color performance can be somewhat disappointing. Taiwan's Hannspree has introduced a paper-like e-note that aims to do better.

If you want to concentrate on your writing, you probably shouldn't be using a computer that's connected to the distracting internet or that's always sending alerts. That's where the BYOK comes in, as it doesn't let you do anything other than write.

Remember back when basketball courts had hardwood floors? You're right, most still do, although some may soon be switching over to the eye-popping dynamic-display ASB GlassFloor. Its first permanent installation was announced earlier this week.

E Ink screens are not only kinder to your eyes, but offer great battery life due to their low power draw. But a new display from Digital View doesn't have a battery at all, and gets the juice it needs from an overhead Wi-Charge wireless power module.

Elecrow has launched an interesting project on Kickstarter that has the look of a 14-inch laptop but isn't. It essentially brings a notebook experience to connected phones, single-board computers and handheld gaming consoles.

A new kind of 3D display could take the form of an acrylic cube with an image inside, which can be erased and rewritten to easily. The new technique can be used to make 2D, 3D and even animated images.
