Here's a couple of nice photos of Samsung's 14" 3D OLED TV prototype. It's nice to see both Sony and Samsung work on these OLED 3D displays. Samsung's display is only 1.6mm thick...

Sony are showing a new 24.5" 3D OLED TV prototype. This is just a technology demo, Sony hasn't announced any plans for newer and larger OLED TVs yet. Engadget say that they are "blown away once more by the sheer vibrancy and clarity of the output".

It's still good to see Sony still working on OLED TV technology. There are some reports that Sony has abandoned OLEDs altogether.

Samsung are showing a laptop that uses a 14" transparent OLED display:

The OLED is up to 40% transparent. I'm not sure if it's useful, but it sure is amazing. In any case, Samsung did not mention any plans to make this into a real product... Here's a short video:

Samsung has been showing their 2" flexible OLED for identity cards for a few years now, and this CES is no exception. There's a nice video over at Engadget showing how the OLED is powered by the wireless RFID reader:

The flexible OLED is 2" QVGA 240x320, 260K colors and has 10,000:1 contrast ratio.

Samsung announced today that the Moment phone will be the first mobile-DTV phone. They will start trials with the phone in 1Q 2010, in Washington and Baltimore. Samsung has chosen the Moment because of its "big, bright AMOLED screen".

The Moment has a 3.2" touch OLED, full QWERTY slider, 3.2mp camera, microSDHC slot, Wi-Fi and GPS. It runs Google's Android OS (on a 800Mhz processor). It is now selling for $79.99 (with a service plan) for the Spring network, and it's actually the top-selling smartphone over at amazon.com.

Update: LG now say they will offer the OLED TV in the US, in the first half of 2010. The model number is LG EL9500.

There are reports that LG plans to launch their 15" OLED TV (which is now available in Korea for around $2,600) in the UK in 2010. They are also say that a 'much bigger OLED TV' will be released soon (before 2011, anyway).

Samsung Mobile Display will show three new OLED displays today:

• 14" qFHD (960x540) 3D AMOLED prototype. This display has a contrast of 100,000:1, color gamut of over 100% NTSC and is only 1.6mm. OLEDs are great as 3D Displays - the image switching is very fast, and there's no optical crosstalk between the two 3D images, according to Samsung.
• 14" qFHD (960x540) transparent OLED prototype. The transparency is 40% when the display is off. Samsung say that this display will "soon be used to display actual transparent products" in Note PCs (although it's not clear why you'd want a transparent display for your laptop).
• 2" OLED operated by RF power (for ID cards and passports). It seems to be the same display shown in June.

Sony is finally bringing the NW-A84x range to the EU/US (the original NW-A840 was announced in October for the Japanese market). This walkman is the thinnest yet (7.2mm), with a 2.8" OLED, TV Out (720x480), long playback and noise-canceling headphones. It comes with 16/32/64GB of memory. 

Sony NW-A845The players will be available from February 2010. 

AUO has signed a deal with Taiwan's Yu Precision for the supply of AMOLED manufacturing equipment. The equipment will cost 33 billion won ($29 million). AUO has re-opened their AMOLED program back in 2008, and have shown 14" AMOLED prototypes a couple of months ago, saying they are "ready for production".

 

It's not clear whether AUO wants to make large OLED TV panels, or smaller panels for mobile displays mentioned in earlier reports. 

Samsung has announced a new product, the 700Z digital photo frame. It has a 7" AMOLED display. This is the largest OLED Samsung has commercialized to date, and it's great news. They haven't said when it'll be released, or how much it'll cost.

This is not the first large OLED photo frame. Back in 2008 Kodak has released their own 7.6" digital wireless frame, using CMEL's OLED panels. Kodak's frame costs around 800$ (but seems to be out of stock). Hopefully Samsung will have a lower price...
