Asus Design show Waveface design concept with flexible OLED devices
Asus shows at the CES-2010 a design concept with an OLED wristband, and a foldable Notebook also with OLED technology. The Asus staff told us that Asus plans to realize this devices with flexible OLED Displays. Asus want to introduce this products in the next 3 years.
The concept is called Waveface and it sits at the core of three exciting designs that combine already familiar ideas with more nascent technologies.
Waveface Ultra:
Itri Demonstrate a new flexible AMOLED Display
ITRI is showing a flexible 4.1 inch flexible AMOLED Display. The Taiwans Industrial Technology Research is announcing that this new prototype is more flexible and softer than the devices before.
John Chen, general director of the Display Technology Center at ITRI says also:
"We think OLED will work better than other technologies. There's no need for a backlight or a polarizer nor stacks of optical film," he added.
Kodak show flexible OLED under water

Kodak demonstrated the their flexible OLED Display under water!
OLEDs are notoriously moisture-sensitive, so this is quite an achievement for the Kodak researchers team.
Flexible OLEDs have the potential to be a game-changer for the display world, realizing a unique form factor at lower cost. They also have broad applications in the lighting industry.
Plastic Electronics Europe 2009

The Plastic Electronics Foundation and IntertechPira announce the agenda for this year’s Plastic Electronics Europe 2009 Conference and Exhibition. The show takes
place 27-29 October 2009 at the Maritim Hotel & Conference Center in Dresden, Germany, and provides a vital platform where science and industry can meet to drive forward commercialisation in organic electronics.
OLED Emission efficiency improved by 75% from an korean research team

Prof. Kyung Cheol Choi and his korean research team discovered the surface plasmon enhanced spontaneous emission based on an OLED Device.
Report about Low Power Next Generation Display Market from 2009 - 2014
This report highlights the basic structure of the low power consuming next generation display market and its various sub-segments. We have taken LCD display as the benchmark for power consumption and have considered only those display technologies which consume lesser power than LCDs. These include electrochromic displays, electrophoretic displays, electrowetting, thermochromic, LED, OLED, Field Emitting Displays (FED) and electroluminescent and excluded CRT, LCD and Plasma.
US Air Force awarded the Universal Display a SBIR Phase II contract for ejection-safe, 6" flexible OLED
The Universal Display Corporation– developer for today’s generation of High technology for display and lightning using Universal PHOLED phosphorescent OLED technology reveals that they have been awarded for a $750,000 Small Business Innovation Research Phase II contract from the US State Air Force Research Laboratory.
Vitex Systems Barix Barrier Film survives the Hammer test Video!
Vitex Systems Barix is a coating composed of alternating layers of polymer and ceramic thin films that can be deposited on a plastic substrate or directly on an OLED display. Mechanically it is much stronger than glass it replaced as shown by this hammer test.
The technology breakthrough that enables this to be used as the packaging material for flat panel displays is the creation of a barrier layer 10,000 times better than anything currently produced.
With this technology the OLEDs can be realized only 50 micrometers thin.
Samsung show 2 inch S shape flexible AMOLED


At the SID 2009 Samsung showed a 2 inch S shaped flexible AMOLED.The flexible OLED panel does have a QVGA resolution, the contrast is 10.000:1 and the panel is 0.05mm thin. The brightness is 200 cd/m².
UDC and LG-Display show flexible OLED bracelet at SID-2009

Universal Display and LG Display are showing a bracelet flexible Oled Display at SID-2009.
This 4-inch flexible OLED does have a QVGA resolution (320xRGBx240 pixels) and a resolution of 100ppi. The display can show off 1.67 million colors. The contrast ratio is 1.000:1 and does have a brightness of 100cd/m².
It operates at 15V and consumes about 1W of electricity.
The panel himself is only 0.3mm thick.
