To further reassure our vision of an OLED future presented at the Collision Conference on Saturday, scientist from the RIKEN center in Japan have made some wonderful new discoveries. According to Yutaka Yamagata of the RIKEN Center,

“We have discovered a range of conditions using a two-solvent method that can make extremely smooth thin films using electrospray deposition. Using this technology, these devices could be manufactured as inexpensively as printing newspapers.”

To dive into the specifics and technology of this discovery, head over to OLED-Info.

We just finished profiling the new Sony XEL-1 11-Inch OLED TV at the Collision Conference on Saturday. When we returned to the studio we were delighted to see the new press release from LG stating that their 15-inch OLED will be released in November to Korea. Mark Wilson from Gizmodo states that the design is “as if vomited up by an engineer and never reassessed,” but I do like how they are hiding the hardware guts in a classic picture frame stand design.  

Reuters states “Research firm DisplaySearch expects the market for OLED TV to reach 2.33 million units in 2013 compared with estimated 320,000 units in 2011, according to data provided by LG.” Also LG has stated they are planning to unveil a 40-inch OLED in the future.

Kodak seems to be making some nice breakthroughs in the OLED Display market now. They have created a flexible underwater prototype that may not seem large to us humans, but in fact, is a HUGE display for lego people! This proves that OLED has the capacity to be safe against moisture. Until now, this was a huge problem for OLED technology. This was posted on one of Kodak’s blogs by Michele Ricks, an OLED Engineer for Kodak.
