(AP) -- A third to a half of the Sony Corp. TV sets sold annually will be packed with 3-D features by the year ending March 2013, a senior executive said Thursday. http://www.physorg.com/news178440806.html Technology Thu, 26 Nov 2009 07:30:01 EST news178440806 (PhysOrg.com) -- Sony is showing off prototypes incorporating its super-thin, flexible OLED technology at the CREATEC JAPAN 2009 IT and electronics trade show in Makuhari Messe (Chiba) in Japan. http://www.physorg.com/news174112703.html Electronics Wed, 07 Oct 2009 07:10:02 EST news174112703 (PhysOrg.com) -- The Korean company, LG Electronics, the second largest television manufacturer in the world, has announced it will launch a 15-inch organic display TV set in early September. The announcement, made in Seoul on Sunday, said the television set is the largest commercial product using this technology. http://www.physorg.com/news171000523.html Electronics Tue, 01 Sep 2009 05:09:28 EST news171000523 Nanochemists from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Nano-Science Center, Department of Chemistry at University of Copenhagen have developed nanoscale electric contacts out of organic and inorganic nanowires. In the contact they have crossed the wires like Mikado sticks and coupled several contacts together in an electric circuit. In this way they have produced prototype computer electronics on the nanoscale. http://www.physorg.com/news169727773.html Nanotechnology Mon, 17 Aug 2009 12:10:02 EST news169727773 (PhysOrg.com) -- As organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) are poised to go mainstream in the near future, scientists continue to explore new twists on the technology. Recently, researchers have fabricated a "liquid-OLED" - an OLED that uses a liquid organic semiconducting layer to transport charge. http://www.physorg.com/news169466260.html Physics Fri, 14 Aug 2009 10:58:35 EST news169466260 It's not yet lights-out for LCD and plasma, but OLED displays are finally ready to begin pushing those technologies out of the limelight. http://www.physorg.com/news165053969.html Electronics Wed, 24 Jun 2009 09:20:22 EST news165053969 (PhysOrg.com) -- A transparent thin film barrier used to protect flat panel TVs from moisture could become the basis for flexible solar panels that would be installed on roofs like shingles. http://www.physorg.com/news163350832.html Technology Thu, 04 Jun 2009 16:15:50 EST news163350832 German scientists said Wednesday they had tweaked organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) -- the materials used in flat-screen TVs, laptop computer screens and mobile phone displays -- to become flexible, energy-efficient sources of white light. http://www.physorg.com/news161442237.html Technology Wed, 13 May 2009 14:04:47 EST news161442237 Royal Philips Electronics today premiered the world`s first OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diodes) -based interactive lighting concepts, created for both consumer as well as professional use, during the Euroluce International Lighting Fair in Milan. The concepts are intuitive and interactive in use, boast ultra flat shapes, soft light-effects and design possibilities never before seen in lighting products. The result is lighting that goes beyond mere illumination -- it becomes an experience in itself. http://www.physorg.com/news159718652.html Technology Thu, 23 Apr 2009 15:18:48 EST news159718652 (PhysOrg.com) -- Researchers at the Centre of Molecular Materials for Photonics and Electronics (CMMPE) (part of the Department's Photonics Research Group at the University of Cambridge) are leading the way towards the development of extremely high colour resolution laser displays using liquid crystal laser technology. http://www.physorg.com/news159458998.html Physics Mon, 20 Apr 2009 15:11:08 EST news159458998 Lighting consumes one-fifth of the electricity generated in the United States. Solid-state lighting offers tremendous potential to improve the situation - once major research challenges are overcome. http://www.physorg.com/news156953162.html Chemistry Sun, 22 Mar 2009 15:11:05 EST news156953162 (PhysOrg.com) -- One of the more interesting methods of pattern transfer available for a number of applications right now is Laser Induced Forward Transfer (LIFT). However, when working with organic material, there are some drawbacks to LIFT, as well as other drawbacks to making use of a high threshold UV or IR laser to effect the transfer. `Besides thermal degradation,` Seung Hwan Ko tells PhysOrg.com, `high laser threshold laser can also induce mechanical cracks on transfer material and problems in edge sharpness.` http://www.physorg.com/news144340467.html Physics Mon, 27 Oct 2008 15:34:27 EST news144340467
