Back in the game

Japan's Sharp is to spend $570 million on its OLED screen business in one of the first major investments since it was taken over by Foxconn.

Bad days behind it

LG Display has said that it will have a second-half earnings recovery, signaling a pickup for the struggling panel industry as clients prepare to launch new OLED gadgets.

Finding their niche

While the bigger tech companies are being battered trying to get making organic light emitting diode (OLED) screens to market, smaller Japanese gear makers are doing rather well.

While the rest of the world is talking about OLED displays, it seems that 95 per cent of the displays made by Samsung.

OLED, better tracking

Xiaomi has released its Miband 2 and the new fitness band offers much for a tiny price. It starts selling tomorrow for equivalent of $23 (149 Yuan) in China and a few companies will ship it to Europe and USA for a bit more. 

OLED function keys will make all the difference

In a desperate attempt to appear innovative again, the Fruity Cargo cult Apple is rumoured to be planning to replace the function keys on its MacBook Pro with a new OLED display touch bar.

Global Lighting Technologies (GLT) chairman Lee Man-hsiang dismissed a long standing belief that OLED panels will replace TFT-LCD.

Only problem is that is a bit rubbish

Almost every sci-fi telly programme has tablets and monitors which are transparent and it seems that Samsung has finally build them. The only problem is that they are not that great to use.

Been the leader since 2011

Samsung is pretty sure it can keep its title of the world’s top flat-screen television manufacturer for a sixth consecutive year.

But might have something else up its sleeve

Samsung has rejected a claim from the OLED Association predicting that it would reintroduce an OLED TV lineup in 2017.
