Samsung’s 10.1-inch plastic LCD showcased in concept laptop, tablet at SID 2011 (video)
May 18, 2011 No Comment
Fumble your phone much? Samsung may have a solution for clumsy gadgeteers with screen shatter fears: a lightweight, ultra-durable, plastic LCD screen. Tucked into laptop and tablet concepts at SID 2011, this 10.1-inch 1024 x 600 wunderpanel could be the next innovation in durable mobile devices — cutting thickness by as much as two-thirds at one-fifth the weight of a glass LCD. Lighter, stronger devices sound awesome, but the tech has its drawbacks; it suffers from poor off-axis viewing angles, and the entire surface has a visible, but not entirely off-putting, wavy texture. Cracked LCD bending art enthusiasts can rest easy for awhile, there’s no word yet on pricing or availability; easy-to-bust displays aren’t going anywhere. Hit the gallery and the video (after the break) for an eyes-on look.

Apple might be poised to ditch OmniVision for its next round of iPhone / iPod Touch cameras, but that hasn’t stopped the company from trotting out a fresh crop of sensors. Weeks after unveiling a beastly 12 megapixel number, it’s announced the OV5690, a 5 megapixel chip, and the first to use the company’s second-generation OmniBSI-2 pixel architecture. In addition to shooting 5 megapixel stills, it records 1080p video at 30 frames per second and 720p movies at 60fps. And, most notably, OmniVision cut the sensor’s height by 20 percent in the hopes that it’ll find a home in “slimmer” smartphones and tablets. So far, it’s unclear what devices will incorporate it — the company says key vendors are sampling the sensor at the moment, with mass production expected to begin in the second half of this year. Full PR after the break.
