By leveraging the same technology and techniques used to manufacture OLED panels, including lasers, a new machine that recently debuted in China can be used to fix broken OLED panels exhibiting malfunctioning vertical lines without a device’s screen having to be turned off.Samsung Shows Off First LaserSlim OLED TVAs durable as smartphones have become with waterproofing and shatter-resistant glass, sometimes it doesn’t take much—maybe a drop of water or a small piece of dust—to make a device’s screen malfunction, and in…

There are two things that make this prototype 65-inch OLED TV from TLC stand out. It can fold away into a coffee table where half the screen remains visible under glass, but that’s questionably useful. What’s more interesting is that this is the first 8K, 65-inch TV to be manufactured using inkjet printing techniques that promise to bring down the price of OLED screens.It's Magic: LG's Rollable OLED TVYesterday, Vincent Teoh, from the YouTube channelHDTVTest, shared a video of a monstrous 110-inch, 16K TV being…

The literal flexibility of OLED screen technology has allowed us to create everything from tablets that fold in half, to TVs that disappear into furniture. But researchers from Carnegie Mellon University are leveraging the flexibility of OLED panels in another way, and have created touchscreen devices your fingers can actually feel.It's Magic: LG's Rollable OLED TVVersatility is what led smartphones to abandon tiny built-in keyboards for all touchscreen interfaces, as apps can take better advantage of screen real estate…

I love a mechanical keyboard with an OLED on it—remember the SteelSeries Apex Pro? It was neat because of the customizable window in the corner of the keyboard. Now, imagine getting those same OLEDs for each key on your board. This would let you change your layout and label macros on the fly. And it’s exactly the premise behind the PolyKybd, a mechanical keyboard with OLED displays inside each key.It's Magic: LG's Rollable OLED TVThe PolyKybd is a split mechanical keyboard with an ortho-linear layout, meaningthe keys are…

This isn’t your regular screen. It’s not even your typical premium home theater display. It is a lifestyle TV that is intended to serve as an art piece, similar to Samsung’s The Frame TV line. As such, it promises a luxurious build and a unique design over other LG OLEDs.Given how the TV has become the centerpiece of so many…

MacBook Pro 13 with M2Photo: Phillip Tracy/GizmodoSupply chain analysts Ming-Chi Kuo and Ross Young have been embroiled in a bit of a back-and-forth about what’s happening with Apple’s display tech. But the consensus is that OLED panels are coming to the MacBook soon and will likely be the norm in the next couple of years.The rumors started a few years ago when Kuo teased that the iPad would be the first big screen Apple device to showcase OLED. The rumblings recently picked up more steam after Ross Young tweeted in…

Earlier, the tech giant wanted to make full-cut OLED panels, but post looking at the potential demand for OLED panels for the upcoming iPads, Samsung has started the development of two-stack…

As mind-blowing as it is to see a screen bend and even fold in half without taking any damage, we haven’t quite figured out the perfect use case for flexible OLEDs yet. Corsair is taking a swing at the technology with its new Xeneon Flex gaming monitor that allows users to bend in each side to create a more immersive visual experience.The Xeneon Flex isn’t an entirely new idea. Back at CES 2021, LG itself had a similar prototype on display at its booth,featuring a 48-inch flexible OLED panel that, at the push of a…
