OLED Technology Brings The Flexible Screen


Flexible screens have been in the que for awhile now, but hitting the mainstream market running, has to be difficult. Not since Apple's Iphone have we seen a game changer hit the ground running in the middle of a technology sprint. Now leaders like Samsung are trying to follow up a tough act. At least in the sense of sticking the landing. Much like knowing that the worlds fastest man is in the Olympics, knowing that Samsung has had a viable flex screen created still has to be seen. We want to see if it can enter the market with minimal flaws and show well out of the gates.


The basis is from OLED technology or organic light emitting diode displays. This is a fun technology that you should look up on Youtube here. it will soon allow for a whole new ability to interact with technology and live with it. It seems to me that technology is morphing closer and closer into a life form, merging with our need for it to be one with us, no matter if we consciously want that and all of its scarey implications or not. It is simply the direction we are heading and the inertia is not going to be impeded upon by human conscious-it will only gain speed with human desire.

Bringing this new technology to the surface via smartphones will be smart way of going, at some point I wonder when we are going to find ourselves not just embracing fun new technologies, but also being faced with moral crisis that are tied to it. For now Samsung is bringing out a fun new concept to a key feature of our tech world a flexible display, but we are not far from human integrated technologies that are invasive.

New record energy efficiency for artificial photosynthesis

As the world moves towards developing new avenues of renewable energy, the efficiencies of producing fuels such as hydrogen must increase to the point that they rival or exceed those of conventional energy sources to make them a viable alternative. Now researchers at Monash University in Melbourne claim to have created a solar-powered device that produces hydrogen at a world-record 22 percent efficiency, which is a significant step towards making cheap, efficient hydrogen production a reality. Efficiency records for solar-powered hydrogen production have continued to rise over the years, and much more rapidly as the technology and techniques improve. Even as late as December last year  Gizmag reported  a solar-driven hydrogen record efficiency at the time of just 12.3 percent, so this new record shows a very healthy 10 percent improvement on that and beats out the previous record of 18 percent. Splitting water using electricity to produce hydrogen and oxygen has been a...

The Japanese skateboard

A Japanese engineer just invented a nifty new way to travel: A transporter called a “WalkCar” that’s small, light and apparently easy to use. The product is battery powered and is about the size of a laptop. And although it looks like it can hold much weight and is made from aluminum, it can apparently have as much as 265 lbs on board. VentureBeat  reported  that it can go up to 6.2 miles per hour for up to 7.4 miles. It needs three hours to charge.

Wind Turbines

The Bahrain World Trade Center is the first skyscraper to have wind turbines integrated into the structure of the building.Three large wind turbines are suspended between two office towers. The towers are aerodynamically tapered to funnel wind and draw air into the turbines. This airfoil tapering allows the wind to enter the turbines at a perpendicular angle and increases air speed as much as 30 percent in each of the 95 ft wide turbine rotors. The turbines supply about 15 percent of the electricity used by the skyscraper - approximately the same amount of electricity used by 300 homes. Source: www.norwin.dk
