Screens

Described as a "phone-first portable wireless display," this new 15.6-inch IPS screen aims to take the effort – and the need for a network – out of mirroring tech. What's more, t'll work with almost any phone and doesn't require apps or extra setup.

Looking Glass has been in the holographic display business for years now, perfecting its tech for magically bringing images to life in commercial settings. Its latest product is designed to grace your living room – and it doesn't cost the earth.

In what could be an industry shifting breakthrough, researchers have created a screen about the size of a human pupil with a resolution that breaks through the limits of pixels. The invention could radically change virtual reality and other applications.

Portable projectors can help take movie nights outside, but what if you don't have a plain flat wall to host the visuals? XGIMI has launched a relatively inexpensive portable screen designed specifically for projected entertainment outdoors.

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%.

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.

Transparent OLED technology has come a long way since early prototypes more than a decade ago, but screens are still a pricey proposition. Korean researchers have developed a 100-inch NTS display for mass production at a tenth of the cost.

General Motors has received a patent for a fascinating self-cleaning technology that could eliminate the annoyance of smudgy fingerprints all over touchscreens. It's a photocatalytic system, triggered by ultraviolet LEDs built into the RGB matrix.

Sci-fi has been promising holograms for decades, but they always feel out of reach. Now Samsung has made strides towards realistic holograms, with a prototype thin-panel device that can display 3D images in 4K resolution with a wide viewing angle.

Our laptops, tablets and smartphones serve us well when we're away from home or the office, but sometimes we want more. More speed, more storage and much more screen. We can already buy portable screens, but few tick as many boxes as the minimalist BladeX and BladeX Pro.

Researchers at Cambridge University have managed to create the smallest pixels in the world, about a million times tinier than those in a phone. These new pixels could be used in huge, flexible displays that are relatively easy to manufacture and cheaper to run.

In a world bombarded by screens constantly blasting ads and visual noise, a team of artists and designers wondered if glasses could be created that can black out all those invasive messages. After a year of research and prototyping the IRL Glasses are now launching on Kickstarter.
