In case you’re having trouble seeing it, the LED is right in the middle of his eye. So what compelled Krasnow to do such a thing? Not that a man needs a reason to stick electronics into his vital organs, but Krasnow was inspired by a very similar project. A group of researchers (isn’t it always a group of researchers? I have no doubt the news announcing the apocalypse and/or the singularity will start with “A group of researchers…”) were able to construct a wirelessly powered, single pixel display mounted on a contact lens and placed their device on a rabbit’s eye. But Krasnow is no puny researcher.

I can’t even put an ordinary contact lens on my eye, so I’ll just tape some Christmas lights on my glasses and use my imagination.

Unfortunately we don’t have any concrete proof of Nu-Screen HD’s effectiveness – a demo video would be nice. But even if it does give gadget screens that brand new look and make them easier to clean, I’d still rather use my plain old screen protector on my phone to protect it from scratches. So I guess I’ll hold out for a, uhm, screen protector polisher. The Nu-Screen HD is available here for $20 (USD).

That’s almost as thin as a single hair strand. As you can see, the display is not just thin, it’s very flexible too. According to Dvice, a Samsung representative told them that you could even roll this display to a cylinder with a radius of just 1cm (0.4 inches), although the rep refused to actually roll it up. Better safe than sorry.

Can you imagine the applications of such a display? We’ll have portable gadgets that fold into even smaller sizes, more wearable gadgets with displays, ultra lightweight TVs – hell, we could use it as a wallpaper or cover our desks with it.

I wonder how long it’ll take before AMOLED finally becomes mainstream. Check out Dvice for a couple more shots of another AMOLED screen on a smaller media player prototype.

E Ink recently introduced their Triton color ePaper, which has all of the advantages of the black and white variant, plus the ability to display colored images and text! Watch the video below for a basic explanation of E Ink’s Triton technology, and how it could lead to umbrellas with maps on them:

According to Akihabara News, Triton technology is actually already in commercial products, like Seiko’s Active-Matrix watch (I don’t know why the watch only displays in black and white though). It’s only a matter of time before we get devices that display magazines and comic books!

Hyundai has now shown off their new S90D 19-inch LCD TFT monitor which claims an astounding 1 millisecond seponse time. The monitor operates at a native 1280×1024 resolution and features an on-board analog TV tuner and stereo speakers if you wish to use it as a television. The monitor also has both DVI and VGA inputs. There’s no word yet on when the S90D will hit the streets or how much it will cost.
