Samsung Develops 40-inch OLED Display
The high-definition-compatible OLED prototype has a wide screen pixel format of 1280×800 (WXGA) driven by an amorphous silicon (a-Si) AM backplane to permit faster video response times with low power consumption.
Manufactured on Samsung’s fourth generation (4G) production line with a mother-glass size of 730mm x 920mm, the new OLED prototype combines all of the traditional features of emissive OLED technology, including wide viewing angle, thin package size, no color filter and no backlight, with the enormous production infrastructure advantages of standard a-Si techniques. To date, AM OLED prototypes have used costly polysilicon approaches, which have limited production sizes.

Sanyo enters DTT mobile phone market
Mobile phone handset manufacturers are expecting that mobile phones incorporating a digital terrestrial TV decoder will be the next big thing in Japan after the country launches DTT transmissions using Japan’s proprietary ISDB-T standard in December this year. NEC launched a DTT-receiving UMTS (3G) prototype handset last month, pitching its marketing at Japanese commuters.
Sanyo’s prototype CDMA2000 handset has similar functionality to that of its NEC rival, but is also able to record and play back up to 30 minutes of programming on a built-in 128MB flash memory. The handset is also able to display a TV frame in both horizontal ‘portrait’ and vertical ‘landscape’ format.
