Flexible, foldable and rollable gadgets have been a thing of Sci Fi for many years, but soon they won't be fiction anymore.
That's because LG will finally mass-produce its flexible OLED displays in the fourth quarter of 2013.
And knowing how things move in the IT industry, I imagine some prototype gadgets... |

It's one thing to make an OLED HTDV. Those things may be rare, but they aren't exactly unheard of. Some are already selling after all.
But it's another thing to finally make and release a 55-inch curved OLED HDTV. LG has done just this though.
True, the item was initially revealed back in April, bu... |

Google may want it to have full control and recognition for the Glass augmented reality headset, but the fact remains that it needs other to make the hardware.
In the case of the lens, it needed a display technology that is capable of producing a good resolution even in that small form factor.

Toshiba could have invented and released an augmented reality headset like the Glass that Google is going on about these days, but that's not what it revealed at a recent trade show.

It's amazing how many flexible, foldable and rollable displays get launched every other month, but almost no flexible gadgets exist even now.
Anyway, LG has just launched the latest flexible OLED screen, a 5-inch sheet of plastic with organic light emitting diodes on it.

OLED TVs are still a rarity, although a rapidly approaching one, and Samsung just happens to be at the center of the maelstrom.
OLED has been used extensively in small gadgets, since it is easy to make in small sizes and the alternative display technologies aren't as thin or otherwise good for such items.

LG probably didn't want to overwhelm bank accounts by adding 3D support on top of the curved design of its upcoming OLED TVs. At $13,515 / €10,357, the displays already cost a fortune.
It is probably part of why the company isn't hurrying to send the displays all around the world. Instead, it will use its... |

Organic Light Emitting Diodes (OLED) is a technology that has only recently begun to gain mass adoption, and it still has a long way to go.
Converted efforts can shorten the time to market though, and there definitely are enough people seeking to both promote and profit from OLED (technology that needs no backlight ... |

Samsung and LG continue with their patent wars and theft accusations, as they try to commercialize the same type of OLED technology, but they do seem to have preferences that set them apart.
Samsung, for instance, is working hard on flexible displays for smartphones and other small gadgets.

Samsung has been doing its best to develop and finalize its flexible OLED display technology, hoping to have it ready for commercial availability by year's end.
That would suggest that bendable, foldable or rollable gadgets, like phones and e-readers, could be up for sale in 2014-2015.
Sadly, the company has s... |

Samsung and LG were supposed to have reached an agreement to drop their feud, but it seems they didn't really get around to actually doing it, or they were never going to, except in some areas.
Then again, the supposed out-of-court arrangement happened before Samsung sued LG again, saying it damaged its brand ... |

The Ultra High-Definition resolution has been cropping up on the TV market a lot lately, but Sony doesn't want the monitor segment to fall behind, which is why it has put together two OLED 4K monitors.

LG's 55-inch OLED HDTV may already be shipping in South Korea, the company's so-called home market, but that doesn't go for the rest of the world.

Perhaps it was the scandal between Samsung and LG over OLED technology, or some other factor, but the world has taken notice of a certain executive transfer.

Organic Light Emitting Diodes are the youngest consumer display technology, more or less, which is why Samsung is making such a fuss over surpassing the 300 million panel production mark.

Samsung's CES 2013 product collection is extensive, featuring normal TVs, OLED, Smart and Large 4K UHDTVs, touch-enabled refrigerators and, now, curved OLED TVs.

Since Samsung has announced new OLED TVs, LG wasn't about to let CES 2013 pass by without doing something similar.

The official US pricing is of $11,999 ... |

The BBC has revealed that LG has formally introduced a 55-inch OLED TV set, called Cinema 3D Smart TV.

While it won't have nearly the same processing power as a computer, it should be ab... |

Organic light emitting diode displays (OLED) are the newest pet project of display developers, and it is LG that is gaining attention, albeit indirectly, for creating a large-size panel of this sort.

We honestly hope the OLED technology market will not become the playground for the sort of patent war that Samsung and Apple are fighting on the tablet front.
