Concept of LED Watch with Built-in Camera!

Concept: LED Watch with Built-in Camera!

Thecamera  lens is in the center of the design, with white and blue LEDs surrounding it.  The outer ring is hours, middle is minutes in groups of 5, and the center LED ring is single minutes.  When a picture is taken using the center button, the white LEDs flash once, and when the picture is uploaded successfully to your phone, the blue LEDs flash twice. 

When people check their watch, the vantage point of the watch would be perfect to take a profile picture. Those who change their profile picture several times a week would love this watch, just get your friends together,  post it to your profile.

Concept: Sci-Fi LED Watch

A sci-fi shaped watch with a 3-part display that reminds the inside of a spaceship flight deck.  Hours and minutes are displayed with digits on the main screen (from left to right and from top to bottom), while seconds are shown with strokes on the sides.  The display gives the impression of a “private panoramic screen”.  LEDs are turned on for a few seconds when hitting the central button. 

The Invisible OLED Laptop to End All Laptops

The Invisible OLED Laptop to End All Laptops

It’s only a proof of concept, but this is laptop with a clear OLED screen—but a stone’s throw from those floating 3D displays of Avatar. Practical? Not necessarily. The future? OBVIOUSLY.

The resolution, I don’t know. It’s pixely, but let’s not quibble.

You see right through the thing, then something appears on the screen (like a white background), and you can’t see through it anymore.

Are you processing this? No, you can’t be. It’s only 2010. Man wasn’t prepared for this kind of technology yet. The brain hasn’t evolved enough. We’re primates. Squirrels. Slugs.

Maybe in 100 or 200 years, the great artists of the world will reflect on what’s happened today and make some sort of sense of it all. Until then, we’ll just keep on breathing, in, out. Until then, we’ll weep.

Flexible OLED technology

What is the OLED technology all about?

OLEDs are made from organic (carbon based) materials that emit light when electricity is applied. Because OLEDs do not require a backlight and filters (unlike LCD displays), they are more efficient, simpler to make, and much thinner. OLEDs have a great picture quality – brilliant colors, fast response rate and a wide viewing angle.

LG 15-inch OLED prototype

OLEDs can also be used to make OLED  – thin, efficient and without any bad metals.

OLLA White Light Prototype

OLED materials have been discovered back in 1960, but only in the past 20 years or so have researchers started to actually work on the technology. A complete. You can read more about OLED displays and advantages in our page.

How do OLEDs work?

The basic structure of an OLED is a cathode (which injects electrons), an emissive layer and an anode (which removes electrons). Modern OLED devices use many more layers in order to make them more efficient, but the basic functionality remains the same.

How an OLED panel is made

Making an OLED involves several steps: taking a substrate, cleaning it, making the backplane (the switching and driving circuitry), depositing and patterning the organic layers and finally encapsulation the whole thing to prevent dust, oxygen and moisture damage.

There are several ways to deposit and pattern the organic layers. Currently all OLED displays are made using vacuum evaporation, using a Shadow Mask (FMM, Fine Metal Mask) to pattern. This is a relatively simple method but it is inefficient and very difficult to scale up to large substrates. There are several alternatives for next-gen deposition techniques, including laser annealing and inkjet printing. These methods will be scalable and more efficient than vacuum deposition.

OLED materials

There are several types of OLED materials. The most basic division is between small-molecule OLEDs and large molecule ones (called Polymer OLEDs, or P-OLEDs). Almost all OLEDs made today are SM-OLED based. These materials are evaporable and far more advanced than P-OLEDs. P-OLEDs had great promise and are solution processable (and so can be used in InkJet printing and spin-coating fabrication methods). Intensive research is being performed to develop efficient solution-processable SM-OLEDs.

Another interesting division is between Fluorescent and Phosphorescent materials. Fluorescent materials last longer (and were discovered first) but are much less efficient than Phosphorescent materials. Most people agree that the future of OLEDs (especially in large-area displays and lighting panels) lie with Phosphorescent materials, although there are still challenges in developing a long-lasing blue Phosphorescent OLED. It is possible to combine these materials though, and today Samsung for example use a red PHOLED together with Fluorescent green and blue. Is pioneering PHOLED research, holding basic patents in this area.

AMOLED vs PMOLED

These terms relate to the driving method of the OLED display. A  (Passive-Matrix OLED) is limited in size and resolution, but is cheaper and easier to make than an (which uses an Active-Matrix). An AMOLED uses an active-matrix TFT array and storage capacitors. While these displays are more efficient and can be made large, they are also more complicated to make.

displays are used in mp3 players or secondary displays on cell phones while AMOLEDs are used in smartphone displays, digital cameras and TVs.

Challenges

The two major challenges facing the OLED industry is the lifetime of the panels (OLED panels still lag behind plasma and LCD displays) and production scaling beyond Gen-5.5.

OLED technology today

Today OLED displays are used mainly in small (2″ to 5″) displays for mobile devices such as phones, cameras and MP3 players. OLED displays carry a price premium over LCDs, but offer brighter pictures and better power efficiency – making it ideal for battery powered gadgets.

Samsung Galaxy S

Making larger OLEDs is possible, but difficult and expensive. There are some OLED TVs available, but these are expensive. Sony has announced the XEL11quot; OLED TV back in 2007 – at about $2,500 (they aren’t producing it anymore and now focus on professional OLED monitors). LG is also offering an OLED TV (the 15″ ) which is also expensive and isn’t being mass produced. Mass production of price-competitive sets will probably begin towards the end of 2012 or early 2013.

In the OLED lighting market, several companies (such as Philips, OSRAM and Lumiotec) are already shipping OLED panels, but these are small and very expensive, mostly used in premium lighting fixtures and as experimental design kits.

Future Tech: Transparent / Flexible OLEDs

In the future, companies will be able to produce  and OLED panels. This will open up a whole world of exciting applications, such as:

• Curved OLED displays, placed on non-flat surfaces
• Rollable screens
• Wearable OLEDs
• Transparent OLEDs embedded in windows
• Exciting new OLED lamp designs

And many more we cannot even imagine today…

TRI 4.1 Flexible AMOLED prototype

Flexible OLEDs require that the entire device is flexible – including the electronics and the encapsulation layer. Several companies are working on this technology, using either plastic or metal based displays (it’s also possible to use very thin flexible glass). It isTransparent OLEDs are also difficult to make, although these are already in production: since May 2011 for mobile phones and other applications.

Flexible OLED displays

OLED is a new display technology. Using light-emitting organic materials, beautiful and efficient displays can be created. OLEDs are very thin, and in fact can be put on flexible materials (plastic or metal foil). So it’s possible to make bendable, flexible displays. Because these displays will not be covered with glass, they’ll also be more durable – and virtually shatter-proof.

Flexible OLED products

Flexible OLEDs are still in the R&D phase – and there aren’t any products on the market yet. Samsung seems to be the closest to commercialization, and the company said that probably for mobile phones. These will probably be curved OLEDs that will not be bendable.
