We’ve seen double-sided LCDs before, but they’re generally quite small and prototyped for mobile phone use. This week, LG is showing off a prototype that’s conceivably TV-sized at (an admittedly still small) 15 inches. Running a resolution of 2048 x 1536 and offering a four-colour sub-pixel arrangement (red, blue, green and white), we could only imagine the implications of a tablet PC that could otherwise be a normal laptop (without an awkward Exorcist manoeuvre) or a TV that could accommodate Gears of War 2 and Grey’s Anatomy at the same time. Of course, even if the product were released, you know they’d just charge double for the privilege. [Tech-On]
Samsung SDI, the Korean manufacturer’s display arm, has been showing off a 12.1-inch laptop with an AMOLED display. With 1280 x 768 resolution, and a weird-arse keyboard, the prototype is being displayed at SID 2008. And what’s going on with on the backside of the screen? I can’t for the life of me figure it out.
