The company says that it has created the first mass-produced 4.99-inch Full HD mobile AMOLED display. Samsung Display claims that the AMOLED display offers the broadest color gamut with a 94 percent average rate of reproduction for the Adobe RGB color space. The Adobe RGB standard is about 30 percent broader than general sRGB standards.

The AMOLED display uses the company's Diamond Pixel™ technology, which is based on the idea that the human retina reacts more to green than other colors. Therefore the technology places more green than red and blue pixels in the pixel structure of AMOLED display panels.

With the new technology, Samsung's Full HD AMOLED display can provide text messages 2.2 times clearer than HD (1280×720) displays. So, when curvilinear letters on the panel are magnified two or three times, Samsung’s Diamond Pixel™ technology enables text to be reproduced more smoothly (fewer “jaggies”) and accurately than those produced with conventional LCD technology.

Samsung Display is also providing Display Week participants with firsthand experience comparing the color gamut, color accuracy and letter quality of Full HD AMOLED displays in a special “experience zone” within its booth. The booth will provide a clear comparison between AMOLED and LCD displays. Attendees can see not only true crisp colors in the intricate wing pattern of morpho butterfly images, but can also view an image of a strand of knitting wool so detailed that it can only be appreciated using a Full HD AMOLED display.

Furthermore, Samsung Display's exhibit of an 85-inch ultra HD TV panel showcases a LCD technology that enables local-dimming control in a direct LED-based LCD panel. The panel can save 30 percent of typical LED BLU power consumption. Its local-dimming control enables vivid color rendering including incredible black images, 80 percent brightness uniformity, and a remarkably-enhanced contrast ratio.

Samsung Display highlighted advanced power-saving solutions for smart mobile devices including smartphones and tablets. Samsung says its Full HD AMOLED displays provide a 25 percent power-savings over that of existing HD AMOLED displays because of the efficacy of the AMOLEDs.

Samsung Display is also exhibiting a 10.1-inch WQXGA (2560 x 1600) LCD for tablets and a 13.3-inch WQXGA+ (3200 x 1800) LCD for notebooks. Samsung says that each can deliver 30 percent greater power-savings than that of existing LCD tablet displays, by decreasing the number of driver circuits and increasing the efficiency of the LED BLU.

Also, Samsung unveiling a 23-inch multi-touch LCD display that can detect 10 touch points simultaneously. The prototype enables playing of the piano, or drawing a highly detailed picture on a monitor or a tablet.

The company says that the new display requires just half the power compared to the company’s current color displays of the same brightness,. It is fully compatible with eMagin’s entire VGA, SVGA, XGA, SXGA and WUXGA product line.

The company's display technology enables optical solutions for head-mounted display applications requiring full color including: augmented vision/reality products used in simulation & training devices, and medical, maintenance and process-control ‘see-through’ data glasses and safety goggles.

eMagin will be demonstrating the Color OLED-XLS for the first time at next week’s Society for Information Display being held at the Vancouver Convention Center. Engineering samples are available immediately with fully qualified production units expected by the fourth quarter 2013.

“Our clients have been asking us to push the known limits in order to create more versatile color microdisplays that are both visible in bright environments and power efficient. We have met and surpassed both requirements with the development of the Color OLED-XLS,” said Andrew G. Sculley, president and CEO of eMagin Corporation. “This technology will enable indoor and outdoor augmented reality headsets for commercial, military and industrial use. We are well on the way to OLED microdisplays that can be even brighter for aircraft heads-up displays and consumer data glasses.”

The new display, which measures approximately 30 feet high by 48 feet wide, features a 15 millimeter pixel layout. It incorporates excellent image clarity and contrast, multiple levels of protection from the elements and a robust cabinet design.

The display can show one large image to highlight live video and instant replays, and can also be divided into separate windows to show a variety of vivid graphics, colorful animations, up-to-the-minute statistics, scoring information and sponsor advertisements, all with what the company describes as outstanding brightness and wide-angle visibility.

Daktronics DakStats® software is included with the installation for managing game, season and career statistics. It delivers and tracks statistics and provides in-depth statistical reports for all levels of play, from high school to professional. Daktronics’ contends that its national statistical leader board is a valuable product that no other company offers.

“The City of Cedar Rapids and the Cedar Rapids Kernels have been a long-time partner of Daktronics and we are excited about the opportunity to continue our partnership with this new display installation,” said Matt Warnke, Daktronics sales representative. “The new 15HD display provides an even greater fan experience for fans of the Kernels and Veterans Memorial Stadium.”

Daktronics boasts that its LED video and messaging display technology offers a long lifetime with minimal maintenance and low power consumption, providing value and excitement for years to come.

Adaptive forward lighting, which is glare-free camera-controlled headlamps that react instantly, will help drivers even more in the future thanks to additional intelligent functions. This functionality requires the integration of microelectronics and optoelectronics. Osram is contributing its expertise as the project coordinator and market leader in LED lighting for the automotive sector.

This framework can provide the basis for adaptive forward lighting systems (AFS) that will offer drivers and passengers increased safety. The design of adaptive lighting will come for example from glare-free high-beam, and low-beam that adapts to the speed of the vehicle. At high speed the range of the light is automatically increased. In city traffic, a wider distribution of the light can help illuminate more of the sidewalk and margins. These functions will be fully electronic so there is no need for mechanical actuators.

Osram’s Specialty Lighting division will be developing new electronic control gear for controlling the LED headlamp system. The Fraunhofer Institute for Reliability and Microintegration (IZM) is contributing its expertise in interconnection technology and materials, and Infineon Technologies is offering its experience in automotive electronics and LED drivers. The automotive industry supplier and lighting specialist HELLA KGaA Hueck & Co. will develop the entire optical system for the LED module and the headlamps, and will build prototypes. Daimler, an engineering company in the automotive sector, will carry out the vehicle tests.

Project coordinator Stefan Grötsch is responsible for LED applications in automotive lighting at Osram Opto Semiconductors. Grötsch said, “We have brought together major-league players in their respective sectors, assembling a wealth of expertise for this pioneering project around one table.” The project is being sponsored by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (FMER) under reference number 13N12510 and is scheduled to run from February 1, 2013 to January 31, 2016.

The company says that the LEDLB-24E-UV-365NM can effectively cure objects as its 400 watt metal halide counterpart, without producing heat and while using third of the amp draw. These light bars operate on low voltage direct current and can utilize voltages ranging from 9 to 48VDC without the need for a transformer, making them ideal for use with vehicles and automotive batteries that commonly provide 12 or 24 volt DC power. This can enable cordless paint curing systems.

Alternatively, Larson Electronics provides AC to DC transformers, enabling operators to power this light from any 120-277V AC power source. The housings are constructed of extruded aluminum, and an unbreakable polycarbonate lens gives these light bars unparalleled durability and the strength to withstand rugged use that would destroy typical gas burning lamps. These ultraviolet lights have a 50,000 hour operational life.

"The LEDLB-24E-UV-365NM ultraviolet LED curing light is a direct replacement for traditional 400 watt UV curing lamps,” said Robert Bresnahan of Larson Electronics’ Magnalight.com. “This UV light can be used with vehicle body repair, tank coatings, aerospace, powder coating, and any applications that utilize ultraviolet curable products. The beauty of this compact ultraviolet emitted is it produces no heat, resulting in longer exposure times without risking overheating from the lamps. Combined with a 50,000 hour life span and no warm-up times, this ultraviolet LED light is a must have for all curing applications.”

“We are really excited about the scoreboards and audio system at Huskie Stadium," said NIU Head Coach Rod Carey. "We already have one of the best home crowds in the Mid-American Conference (MAC) and a 21-game winning streak on Brigham Field, so I'm happy we're able to make these improvements to make game day even better for our fans.”

The new display, which measures 15.5 feet high and 39.5 feet wide, effectively doubles the width of the previous display. It features a 15HD pixel layout that Daktronics says will combine better image clarity and contrast with multiple display programming options. Examples of the display programming options include: showing one large image to highlight live video and replays, sectioning the display into multiple windows to show a variety of animations and graphics, showcasing up-to-the-minute statistics, or showing scoring information, sponsor messages, and other announcements.

“Daktronics has been really supportive to NIU over the past ten seasons as well as assisting us with the new video displays and sound system,” said Patrick Gorman, director/producer at Northern Illinois University media services. “The new video display system will significantly upgrade the fan experience at NIU Football games providing more vibrant, detailed video and graphics on the displays.”

Additionally, a new ribbon display featuring 20 millimeter line spacing will stretch 100 feet along the east and west sides of the grandstands between the 35-yard-lines. These displays will showcase sponsors throughout events and display other game-day information, statistics, and graphics.

“The most visible change will be the LED ribbon boards on the east and west fascia. They will have an immediate impact providing more avenues to advertise, improving statistics and game information, as well as a great way to engage with our fans with prompts adding to the aura of college football,” added Gorman.

Daktronics will also install a custom audio system, which will be integrated with the video and scoring system. The audio system will provide full-range sound reproduction and will offer upgraded quality to the east and west grandstands.

Along with the installation, Daktronics Creative Services will provide creative content tailored to the university including: animations, crowd prompts, and sponsor messages. These will be delivered prior to the start of the season to help the Huskies pump up their fans with the newly installed displays.

“We have been really pleased with the services and attention that Daktronics has provided NIU in the past and really look forward to continuing this relationship in the future,” Gorman said.

“We’re proud to be able to continue our strong relationship with NIU, and we look forward to seeing these upgrades in action on game day,” said Joey Hulsebus, Daktronics sales representative.
