LG shows off their new 15-inch transparent AMOLED monitor

LG showed off their newest project at the FPD-International 2009 show in Japan recently, a 15-inch transparent display. Are we seeing the future of TV and computer monitors? Who knows, but it’s interesting to see nonetheless.

Of course, it’s still a prototype, and we have no idea when we’ll see it in retail, how much it will cost, or anything specific. We do know that it uses AMOLED (active matrix organic light emitting diode) technology, but that’s about it. Other companies, like Philips, are also checking out this technology, and it was even rumored that Apple was going to create a device utilizing a transparent display. Nothing has really come to market yet (though the Zune HD screen has been getting good reviews), but we’ll keep you informed when and if something does.

Samsung’s Hybrid Desktop Notebook Concept: 14-inch AMOLED Screen, 2.7mm Thin [Oled]

I’m not sure how practical this design would be on the road, but it sure looks sweet. The stunning screen supports a resolution of 1366 x 768, and because it’s AMOLED, has a 1000000:1 contrast ratio, and 300cd/m2 brightness.

We don’t know much more at this point, but it’s just one of many concepts Samsung has on show at the FPD exhibition in Japan. Follow the link to check them out, including a netbook with 7-inch AMOLED screen. [Akihabara News]

LG’s transparent 15-inch AMOLED display is amazing, possibly useless

Look a that, just look at it will you. It’s another in a latest trend that’s bringing transparent displays to the latest in consumer electronics. However, this pup is in color and livin’ large at 15-inches unlike those tiny transparent displays we’ve seen in handsets. Unfortunately, all we can do is look for the moment because the concept on show at FPD 2009 in Japan is accompanied by very little in the way of detail.

Samsung’s 30-inch 3D AMOLED TV won’t make you dizzy, will leave you poor and silly

Feeling that 3D craze yet? No? Well what if we told you that Samsung was bringing stereoscopic 3D to its magnificent AMOLED panels touting a million-to-1 contrast? Today in Japan it’s showing off its 30-inch AMOLED 3D television with Full HD panel measuring just 2.5-mm thick. Although much is lost in the Korean language press release, Sammy is claiming that itd panel plus shutter-glasses technology helps to reduce the dizziness felt by some 3D viewers. The set’s just a prototype at the moment but its price will certainly invoke financial vertigo whenever it might hit the manufacturing lines. One more very serious picture after the break.

Samsung i5700 Galaxy Lite renamed Spica, spied and specced in Italy

At long last, some apparently definitive details on Samsung’s i5700, the handset formerly known as Galaxy Lite and now reportedly called the Spica. Italian site Cellularmania has a pretty exhaustive hands-on gallery and a much-coveted list of specs for the lime green HSDPA Android vessel. We’re looking at a 3-inch AMOLED screen with 384 x 240 resolution, a 3.2 megapixel camera with autofocus, 1500 mAh battery, accelerometer, GPS, FM radio… and yes, sad but unsurprising, it’s soft-rocking a 528MHz Qualcomm processor. Unlike our last glimpse, there now seems to be that requisite Android home bottom on the right side of the lower panel, but no such luck for any trackball. We’re also lacking price or release date details for any region, but at least for US enthusiasts, we’re pretty confident that you shouldn’t get your hopes up, given how the i7500 has been relegated stateside.
