12.7.2007Flexible Smartphone Screens
Smartphones are great multi-functional devices able to replace the functions of cameras, torches, navigation units, media players, organisers and
voice recorders. The only device they have trouble replacing is the personal computer. Why? The screen is too small! Luckily, flexible smartphone
screens are coming. It was just last year that LG-Philips had released the first A4 sized colour e-paper after many releases of smaller-sized, black
and white screens. Following this, Sony responded with their own 0.3mm thick e-paper. Move forward a year and in October, Sony showed some
improvements they had made on their flexible OLED screens through research.

29.11.20088.8 megapixel projectors coming to movie theaters
Sony said that it will begin installing 54 4K digital cinema projectors, each providing four times the resolution of 1080p, in U.S. movie theaters
next month.
The first SXRD 4K systems will be going to AMC theaters in Dallas (12 screens), Indianapolis (14 screens), Riverside,
Calif. (16 screens) and San Diego (12 screens). Sony will be installing both its SRX-R210 10,000 lumen and the SRX-R220 18,000 lumen unit, which
provide a maximum resolution of 4096x2160 pixels and be used on screen sizes ranging from 42 to 60 ft.
According to Sony, the
high resolution will virtually eliminate artifacts in frames even for people watching a movie from the front row. Pixels are set an 8.5 micrometer
pitch with an intra-pixel gap of 0.35 micrometers. Each of the roughly 8.8 million pixels is just about the size of the letter e in the Liberty
Quarter, Sony said.

01.06.2009MacBook Air spurring LED use in screens
The MacBook Air has become the best advertisement for why companies should use LED (light-emitting diode) backlights in notebook screens, and is
driving adoption, according to market researcher DisplaySearch.
LED backlights in display screens are an improvement over old CCFL
(cold-cathode florescent lamps) technology for several reasons, including a stunning picture due to more vibrant contrasts, better power savings, and
they're easier on the environment because they contain no mercury and last longer. They also helped make the MacBook Air a marvel of thinness
because they take up less space inside a screen. LED backlights are about half as thick as CCFL backlights, according to Luke Yao, an analyst at
DisplaySearch.

20.03.2009Apple admits some iPod touch players shipped with faulty screens
Apple this week confirmed reports that some of its new iPod touch players left its manufacturing facilities with defective screens and said the
company is actively working to remedy the issue.
Several iPod touch customers have reported that their 16GB players
exhibit an
issue where playback of dark video scenes is almost unwatchable, and have further suggested that Apple may have equipped the new players with
screens that are inferior in quality to those used in the iPhone.
"
some early iPod Touch units have had defective screens,
where images appeared too dark," the Wall Street Journal's Walt Mossberg revealed in his own review
of the player published Thursday. "Apple says this problem affected a small number of units and is being remedied."

Despite Windows 7's release looming over the horizon, ZDNet has stated that Steve Ballmer himself said, "Office 14 will not be this year," in an
interview with analysts at the Wall Street Journal. Keen readers will notice that Ballmer called it Office 14, and not Office System 2009 which it
could possibly be named on release. Many people thought that Microsoft would time the new Office revision along with Windows 7's release, as many
businesses prefer to upgrade to a new OS and a new Office suite at the same time, but Ballmer has dashed all thoughts of this happening.

is a set of tools developed for the needs of those creating educational content. Stephen says he "noticed that instead of the Office logo in the orb,
there's a 'G' to obviously signify Grava, so does this mean we're looking at a standalone Grava application or a conceptual idea for
how the interface of Office might change to signify the user is currently using Grava?
