Future Samsung displays to be powered by super-bright quantum dot tech

It's a technology still in its infancy, and at least three years away from making it to a commercial product, but Samsung have revealed that their next generation of displays are to be powered by quantum dot technology.

Brighter and more energy efficient than either LCD of OLED, quantom dot tech is half the cost of AMOLED and have a longer life span too.

Quantum dot technology is made up of semiconducting nanoncrystals, illumintaed by a current or light. Controlled by an active matrix, each quantum dot-pixel switches on and off through a thin-film transistor.

Protoypes are in the works using both glass and flexible plastics, with Samsung planning to feature the technology in their TVs, mobile phones, tablets and media players over the coming years. LG have also displayed an interest, partnering with quantum-dot experts QD Vision.

Giorgio Armani wants to captivate Galaxy S buyers with new Samsung handset (video)

Shock of all horrors, Samsung and Giorgio Armani have teamed up yet again to produce a specially endorsed handset for the fashion-conscious public. The fun thing about this oh-so-exclusive piece of Armani luxury is that it looks remarkably (read: exactly) like the AT&T Captivate that Americans have had the pleasure of using for a good few of months now. We're hearing there's some extra multimedia bundled in along with the GA brand name, so we're absolutely positive your €700 will be well spent. If you're not yet convinced, how's about an unboxing video after the break?

Samsung Announcing Flexible AMOLED Displays in Japan

Samsung is said to be announcing a flexible, durable 4.5-inch WVGA resolution AMOLED display in Japan Flat Panel Display Convention next week. The panels are said to offer the same vividness and crispness as those used on the Galaxy S series smartphones, making us believe that they may possibly be a Super AMOLED panel. These displays can bend and wrap around without distortion or breaking, and could possibly open up the gates to new forms of consumer electronics devices and applications. In the past, however, flexible displays have not been received well by user focus group; an e-reader company had stated before that it had utilized a flexible e-ink display, but consumers were not confident that the display would withstand daily use so the company added a hard coating to the flexible e-ink display. Additionally, Taiwan's ITRI also showed off a flexible color AMOLED screen recently as well.
