Anytime, anywhere, watch what you’d like to watch, and that’s rightly the thing David Forbes’ Wearable LED TV would help you to do. The wearable LED display involves customized display boards, circuits, batteries, iPod and speakers, making it functional enough to display some videos even during your moving.  For more details and manufacturing costs, you can check out the story at Popsci.

A light signal isn’t functional enough to help you communicate with other drivers? Well, possibly the LED Light Display can. It is composed of mesh grid with about 600 LEDs, which are controlled by an ATmega AT89C51 microcontroller and play the messages you’ve already stored in the system. That means, when driving on the road, you can inform those behind you to back off, go ahead or do other things you may want with words displayed by the LED light. See what? The communication between drivers would become easier and clearer now.

After quite a long time of research and design, Sony finally issued its ‘Personal 3D Viewer’ Head Mounted Display at IFA in Berlin several days ago, which is claimed to be much better than what it was expected.

The new HMZ-T1 is built with two 0.7-inch OLED screens that simulates a real 750-inch movie theater screen at a viewing distance of 20 meters, so the visual experience of the head-mounted display will no doubt amaze everybody. To offer you a better audio experience, the HMZ-T1 also features a built-in 5.1 surround sound system, with four different voice modes for you to choose from. But since the availability and detailed prices are not released at the time, you’ll still need to wait patiently for the ‘Personal 3D Viewer’ to come.

Valentin Ruhry’s new display is a huge board built with many illuminated rocker switches to show messages. Whenever you’d like to send some information with it, you’ll need to turn certain switches on while still keep others off.

The “Hello World” you see above is a good example, and also it’s a nod to the “Hello World” computer program – the earliest programs that say hello to the world with a computer screen.

Amazing… I mean, the day has finally come and we’re now in a new age during which we can fold up a display just as what we’ve been doing with a book!

It’s a clever combination of silicone rubber, two protective glass panels and a pair of AMOLED displays. The silicone rubber is so hyper-elastic that it lets you fold the display completely 180 degrees. Moreover, really minimal effect would be made on the optical quality of the AMOLED or the elasticity of the rubber even when the users have folded the display for over 100,000 times.

In ancient China people used to write on silk when there was no paper created, while nowadays researchers from Taiwan still prefer to use silk as basic materials for e-reader displays. The process begins with “liquid silk”, which is turned into insulating membranes to make the TFT (thin-film transistor) screens. These new e-reader displays are not only flexible, bendy but also cheap compared to existing ones. As a result, we may conveniently roll up e-readers just as we roll up books or newspapers, sounds really amazing!

Toshiba could hardly wait to show you what the LCD displays would be like in the future, and they exhibited a LCD panel that can zoom in and out of an aerial photograph of Google Earth at the SID 2010. The display, featuring a curvature radius of 50mm when bent, is made of a thin edge-lighting LED backlight unit and stuffed with software that can zoom in and out of images. So in the near future, you may change the size of a displayed image simply by bending the LCD. Or you can experience that in advance via the video below.

Seemingly the metro trains are always crowded, no matter at what time and from which platform we get on them. Fortunately the “Comfort Zone Display” can help you out of that bustling crowd, by showing you the passenger density of the next train on those redesigned display boards at stations. With that information, you can not only know clearly where to stand on the platform to board the train, but no longer suffer from overcrowding.

Can the LCD TVs become much thinner and lighter? Obviously the answer to that question has been known with complete certainty, after the researchers at Japanese chemical company Teijin and Yamaguchi University claimed that they’ve come up a new production method to reduce the weight of LCD displays.

Compared with conventional LCD displays with silicon solid-state devices (generating heat when used) placed on glass substrates, the new technology features a thin layer of heat-resistant silicon dioxide on plastic. The improvement results in great change: less heat will be generated and TVs could be 50% lighter. According to the researchers, the new tech also leads to clearer images, and you’ll find a lighter LCD TV on the market in three years or so.

Exactly speaking, it is actually the display rather than the whole laptop that is transparent. Announced by its creator Samsung, the transparent screen also allows you to see other items behind it when using the laptop. Does that really make any sense? I mean, you may not accommodate multiple viewpoints. Even so, the concept still sounds cool and perfect to most guys. Announced by Samsung, these 14-inch transparent OLED displays will be in the shops in less than 12 months. Let’s wait and see!

We’ve been used to seeing through the windows from time to time, because in that way, we could learn clearly what is happening outside. And maybe that’s why windows are made of translucent glass. But this piece of glass not only tells us what is happening outside, but also what will happen in the future. Powered by solar energy, the cute gadget will show you any needed information when it is wirelessly connected to your computer. So next time you need weather reports, dates and flight information, check them out on your windows.

Solar energy powered gadgets are very common these days, but most of them are not energy efficiency. Maybe directly using sunshine is a good alternative. LG Display developed a 14.1 inch LCD panel for laptop can that be illuminated by sunlight instead of backlight unit. In other words, if you are in the sunshine, the energy of light can be cut. In addition to energy saving of 70%, this new product can also offer contrast ration exceeding 9:1 which is much better than traditional ones with merely 2:1 or 3:1 contrast ration.

Sony has released a flexible OLED earlier this year. And now researchers from Industrial Technology Research Institute of Taiwan have developed a new LCD display measuring 10.4 inch. It could reproducing 57 percent of NTSC color gamut. It is said that this LCD is useful for large-size public displays.

Combined with many three-in-one LEDs, this gadget is actually a display. Every single line comprises of 96 LEDs and on control unit can manage 16 lines. Therefore, 9 control units could give resolution of 96×144.

A 12.1 inch model at 2.88 mm width from Sharp and an 11 inch model at 3 mm from Sony have been launched on CEATEC 2007. The big difference between the two is Sharp continues to use LCD technology while Sony is pushing OLED. With a long history in LCD, Sharp continues to evangelize the future of the technology.

However, Sony is claiming a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio with a ship date of Dec. 1, 2007 at a price of 200,000 yen ($1,734 US), while Sharp claims only 2000:1 while not releasing a ship date or pricing. Which one do you like?
