At the International Consumer Electronics Show 2024 (CES 2024) in Las Vegas, USA, in January 2024, BOE presented its advanced display technology and smart cockpit solutions, which received significant attention.
In October 2023, TRG Screen, a major provider of corporate subscription spend management software and usage tracking tools announced that it has received strategic growth investment from Vista Equity Partners as a leading enterprise software investor worldwide specializing in enterprise software businesses operating on data and technology platforms.
Samsung Electronics Co., South Korea’s Samsung Electronics Co., is set to launch its 83-inch 4K OLED TV model into the European market during September 2023 including panels coming from its domestic rival LG Display Co.
October 2023- On October 19, OnePlus introduced its first foldable smartphone, the OnePlus Open. The Chinese electronics company describes the OnePlus Open as a contemporary flagship smartphone, with flagship-grade features, a slim design, and a lightweight form factor. The smartphone, priced at Rs 139,999, will be available for pre-order in India on October 19, with open sales beginning October 27.
The folding gadget measures 5.9mm at its narrowest point and weighs 239g. It's a book-shaped foldable, similar to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5, with a flexible primary display and a secondary display on the cover. The primary foldable display is a 7.82-inch 2K AMOLED device with a variable refresh rate of 1 to 120Hz (LTPO 3.0). The display on the cover measures 6.31 inches. It also has a 2K AMOLED display with a customizable refresh rate of 10Hz to 120Hz. Both displays offer 10-bit colour depth and support the full DCI-P3 color gamut.
The OnePlus Open is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 system-on-chip and comes with 16GB RAM and 512GB of on-board storage. It boots the Android 13 operating system-based OxygenOS 13.2 interface, which is filled with tools and features designed exclusively for the foldable form factor. These features include a desktop-style taskbar on the main display, as well as a recent folder for easy access to pictures, stored images, and other files. In addition, the Open Canvas functionality allows for multi-window splitting on the primary display.
The OnePlus Open is powered by a 4,805 mAh battery with a 67W rapid wired charger.
The OnePlus Open boasts five cameras: three on the back, one on the main display, and one on the cover display. The rear camera system consists of a 48-megapixel primary sensor (Sony Lytia-808) with optical image stabilisation, a 64MP 3x telephoto with autofocus and OIS, and a 48MP ultra-wide-angle sensor with autofocus.
April 2023- Researchers at the University of Chicago's Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering created a material that can be bent in half or stretched to more than twice its original length while generating a fluorescent pattern. Wearable electronics and health sensors, as well as foldable computer screens, can all benefit from the material. The researchers created numerous prototypes using computational predictions for novel flexible electroluminescent polymers. The materials were flexible, stretchy, brilliant, resilient, and energy efficient, just as the model anticipated.
The utilization of "thermally activated delayed fluorescence," which allowed the materials to transform electrical energy into light in a very efficient manner, was a significant aspect in their design. This third-generation organic emitter mechanism can deliver materials with performance comparable to commercial OLED technology.
November 2022- LG Display has developed a new prototype display that can fold, twist, and expand from 12 to 14 inches. The stretchy display has a resolution of 100ppi and can display full-color RGB images. The prototype was constructed by embedding tiny LEDs with pixel pitches of less than 40m into a silicon substrate often used in contact lenses. This, according to LG Display, gives it a consistency "similar to that of a rubber band" and allows it to be stretched by up to 20% in any direction.
