Although it might be a bit far from reality the Murakami Chair is one slick design that has my head nodding with agreement.  The attached OLED lamp, which requires less energy than a standard light bulb to operate, draws energy from an on board battery pack that is powered by the kinetic energy found in the chair’s rocking movement.  Oh, and that lamp shade you see; that’s the actual lamp. …Continue reading: OLED Lamp Powered By The Movement Of A Rocking Chair

I’m still not sold on the whole OLED experience, at least as far as home entertainment goes.  Although, I do believe it’s a great piece of tech for the portable gadget market since it’s light on power consumption and boasts a stunning picture; laptops included.

So pardon mean when I don’t sound too excited about LG’s announcement to bring their 15-inch OLED screen to Korea this November with other markets following sometime in early 2010.  While this set does trump the competition in terms of size, it does make me wonder how much it will cost since Sony’s 11-inch XEL-1 is currently listed at a whopping $2,500.

Remember the OCZ Sabre keyboard, you know, the one with the OLED keypad?  Well, we now know it retails for $170.  Zipzoomfly had it on sale yesterday for $135 and it’s already sold out.  It’s no Optimus keyboard, but since it goes for about a 20th of the cost why the hell not?!

Although it probably won’t ever hit US shores, the Vobis HIGHSCREEN PP5420 daul-touchscreen smartphone isn’t short on originality.  It runs the Android OS and features dualband 900/2100MHz HSPA, WiFi, GPS, 3-inch WQVGA panel, a 3 megapixel camera, microSD card slot, TV out and a second 1.5-inch OLED screen that doubles as a navigational pad.  It will hit Russian shores sometime next week and cost about $515.

Ennova Direct just received a patent on what is probably going to be the world’s most advanced thumb drive. To be produced sometime in 2010, the flash drive features a retractable plug and built-in flip cover. Flip cover you ask? But of course, to protect the drives OLED screen that doubles as a fingerprint reader. The new drive, which has yet to be named or priced, will be launched under their ION Technologies brand.

Kyocera, which isn’t exactly known for their cell phones, apparently has a couple tricks up theirs sleeves and if they’re not applied correctly they might just remain that.  What you’re looking at is the EOS, an ultra smart cell phone that features ‘a soft, semi-rigid polymer skin [which] surrounds a flexible OLED display’.  When the keys aren’t in use ’shape memory’ allows them to morph into the phone’s surface.  What’s wackier than that?  The ability to charge itself through physical interaction using an array of nano-scale piezoelectric generators.  It’s extremely unlikely that we’ll ever see this concept come to fruition, but Kyocera hopes to incorporate some the technologies into future phones…of this decade.

Still thinking about picking up Sony’s newest Walkman, the NWZ-X1000, when it hits store shelves sometime next quarter?  SonyInsider scored a video walk through of the 3-inch OLED touchscreen PMP.  I particularly like the built-in noise cancellation option, even though it will be a battery suck.

Video after the ‘leap’ …Continue reading: Sony NWZ-X1000 Interface Walkthrough (video)

LG Korea “allegedly” claims that the new iPhone and iPod Touch will use LG OLED screens and that Apple has paid them $500 Million upfront to work on new screen technologies.  LG themselves is throwing down $3 Billion over the next 18 months to these screen and monitor technologies.  Part of this money and time will be devoted to a touch screen OLED that will be void of finger grease and smudges!  That will be awesome as I’m constantly wiping down my iPhone as it is.  LG will also increase R&D 25% towards Solar OLED’s and new battery tech.  The Life is green.
