OLED

With a new year comes a new CES, and a new crop of gadgets. Samsung has now revealed its latest lineup of monitors, headlined by the new Odyssey Neo G9, which packs two 4K displays side-by-side in one ultra-wide, curved monitor.

At its Tech World 2022 event earlier this week, Lenovo demonstrated a Motorola handset prototype that grows to 6.5 inches at the push of a button and a laptop concept with a display that expands upward to give users more screen space when needed.

As I know from painful experience, hauling a heavy brick of a laptop around on work assignments can be an energy zapping strain. Acer's Swift Edge model could help, launching as the lightest 16-inch OLED laptop in the world.

Joining the flexible OLED display party is hardware company Corsair, which has introduced a versatile new gaming monitor that users can use flat or manually bend into a curve for a more immersive experience, even during play.

As part of its sizable presence at the K-Display 2022 expo this week, LG Display has revealed a 97-inch OLED TV panel that not only promises a brighter big-screen viewing experience, but also uses the surface of the display as a huge sound system.

With Milan Design Week about to kick off, LG has teamed up with Dutch lifestyle brand Moooi to unveil a range of high-style TVs. The OLED Objet Collection comprises two models designed to be arty centerpieces in the living room.

TP Vision has announced that the latest version of its OLED televisions will be the company's first to feature the new OLED EX panel developed by LG Display, which benefits from a 30 percent brightness boost compared to standard OLED displays.

Presently, OLED screens are manufactured by trained technicians in large high-tech factories. Now, however, scientists have managed to 3D print a flexible OLED display, paving the way for small businesses to one day be able to do the same thing.

Indium is one of the rarest metals on Earth, but it’s a key ingredient in ubiquitous electronic devices. Engineers have demonstrated a way to swap indium for graphene, which is made from common carbon, while retaining the same electronic properties.

Laptops can already be thought of as folding devices, but generally not in the same way as, say, Samsung's Galaxy Fold. There are exceptions of course, but Asus has unveiled something different at CES 2022 in the shape of the Zenbook 17 Fold OLED.

Though LG Display's transparent OLED technology has mostly been presented in concept form, the panels have made it out into the real world. And the company is hoping to seed more potential use cases with a bunch of new prototypes headed for CES 2022.

LG Display has announced the development of a new TV panel technology called OLED EX that's claimed to boost brightness by up to 30 percent compared to other OLED technologies for improved picture quality on big-screen TVs.
