Samsung SDI Co Ltd exhibited a 0.05mm-thick 4-inch OLED panel that was hung in the air and fluttering in the breeze from a fan at FPD International 2008. Samsung named this display “flapping display.” “It is technically possible to make the panel thinner,” a Samsung staffer said. “However, it is difficult to further reduce the thicknesses of the flexible substrates and circuit components around it.” That’s why the company set the size at 0.05mm.

Traditional flat-screen televisions could soon become a thing of the past, as scientists have revealed an ultra-thin, flexible screen that could fold up and fit in your pocket. The bendy screens – less than a millimetre thick – could be used for televisions, computers and phones, and may pave the way for easy-to-carry digital newspaper displays, which readers could upload their news on to daily. Some speculate that the technology could even lead to wearable TV jackets, flexible laptop screens, and TV blankets. More information and video after jump.

Scientists have shown that using nano-sized polarizers could significantly enhance the contrast ratio in liquid crystal displays (LCDs). For consumers, that means that TVs, computer monitors, and especially mobile displays could become brighter, lighter, and thinner in the future.
Scientists Zhibing Ge and Shin-Tson Wu from the University of Central Florida in Orlando have presented their improved LCD design in a recent issue of Applied Physics Letters. They used a nanowire grid polarizer (NWGP) for backlight recycling, which enhances the LCD’s optical efficiency and thereby reduces its power consumption. Mor after the jump.
