OLED attracts attention and interest of numerous engineers and scientist in display development. What makes OLED outstanding? OLED brings humanity to whole new level with its advancing technology. Ordinary glass or window acts as a separator and protector that provide visible vision is no longer a glass, but posses the ability of information displaying with the assist of OLED technology. “Smart Window”, one of the innovations of Samsung company that having some unique touches function on the window such as applications and widgets. The device act as a transparent touch screen LCD that can be installed in any window. Reading article, watching TV, and viewing weather forecast on the window give user new and innovated experience. During day time, illumination is provided from outside while at night, the built-in light will activate. Basically, the glass works like a one-way mirror viewing from outside, providing privacy concern. Other than that, it provides the ability of changing room lighting condition. This concept also applies to car windshield. The invention of Global Positioning System (GPS) aimed to lead people to desired destination. It guide user to destination through shortest or fastest path which allow better and easier travel experience. Basically, traveler follows the path instruction by listen to voice indicator, but there are some vague cases that make traveler tends to look at the GPS navigation device screen for more accurate information which increase the risk of accident. By introducing OLED to car windshield, the GPS data is embedded in the windshield. Appropriate color and visibility of guidance arrow indicator can appear on any position of the windshield (changeable position that suitable for different user), w...

...e 10-inch screen. Imagine an ultra thin and yet flexible smartphone on the hand, user will never have to worry about the weight and difficulty to put a 5 inch large display phone inside the pocket. Besides, OLED has the potential to redefine the present lighting solutions. Many new types of lighting solutions will be possible in the future. For example, office ceilings may replace by luminous ceilings instead of ceilings that illuminated with strip lighting. The ceilings can also be designed to simulate an artificial sky and landscape for better experience. The modern city of the future could be enhanced by integrating OLED light surfaces. For example, colorful skyscraper with flowing lights that improve better night view of the city. The combination of reflecting or transparent panels and flexible design will definitely bring new kind of comfort to human in future.
A glow stick is a self-reliant, instant light source. It consists of a translucent plastic tube containing secluded substances when combined can produce light. It does not require any extra external energy sources. The light cannot be turned off after it is “lite”, but it is said that glow sticks can actually be used again by putting it in the freezer overnight then cracking it once more. Glow sticks are used in many ways some for emergency settings, recreation, entertainment, and in the military because they are portable and easy to activate. If you have seen a glow stick you will know that it is quite fascinating how the tube lights up with the bright glow. But just how exactly is that possible?
One of these new innovations is glow in the dark road markings. This new technology uses solar power obtained from the road throughout the day to “charge” the photo-luminising powder that is the glow in the dark lights. Expensive lighting will be replaced with this more cost efficient option that can glow up to eight hours a night. This innovation can already be found on the N329 highway in Oss, Netherlands. Other advancements in lighting to come include wind powered lights and interactive lights. Wind powered street lights will be powered by the gusts of wind created when a car passes by, reducing the need to burn fossil fuels to power the lights. Interactive lights will be turned off but as a car approaches they light up, then fade back away as the car passes by. Smart new technology has the future of roadway systems

The ergonomic product that I have researched is the Thin Film Transistor Liquid Crystal Display (TFT-LCD). This product is a computer screen display that produces a variant of liquid crystal display that utilizes thin film transistor technology that produces better image quality. This product boosts visual work performance, as well as space and energy savings because of its new technology and low luminosity and eye-saving color combinations. Although I will be focusing largely on the computer screen, the TFT-LCD also comes in televisions, flat-panel displays and projectors (Ivergard and Hunt 130). Th...
Thomas Alva Edison lived one of the most constructive live of any American ever born. According to (“Thomas Alva Edison Biography”) He held over 1,000 patents on inventions he created or claimed he created.
The use of technology makes our daily tasks easier, such as a better sense of direction while driving via a GPS, safety features in our cars such as Auto Drive and Auto Park. These technologies have made driving an easier and enjoyable experience as well as reducing our chances of getting into accidents. The research presented in the following article “Driven to Distraction [in car technology]” provided surprising conclusions. Professor John D Lee from the University of Iowa states the following issue: “Technology is changing very quickly. Many of these things coming into the car were not designed to be used in it.”(Edwards 8). He proves that there are a lot of in car technologies in today’s society that can demand our full attention without us even knowing, and can lead to tremendous consequences that can become dangerous distractions on the road. Satellite navigation (GPS) makes our lives easier because it can give us the correct directions to a desired address. This is unlike the past where the navigationally challenged would consider it a nightmare to drive to a new location.
The monitor is likely the most important part of the computer. Without it, you would have no idea what you were doing. Imagine trying to write a term paper, or surf the Internet without one. It would be impossible. While the technology powering the displays doesn’t change as fast as it does for other parts of the computer, there are advances which provide consumers with many choices for displays. Today, the most popular displays come in two types, Cathode Ray Tubes (CRTs) and Liquid Crystal Displays (LCDs). CRTs have been around longer, and are the most common due to the fact that they are cheaper. However the convenient size of LCDs along with falling prices has made them a popular choice as of late. This paper will examine the similarities and differences of the two, and try to determine if one is better than the other.
"Technology is like fish. The longer it stays on the shelf, the less desirable it becomes." (1) Since the dawn of computers, there has always been a want for a faster, better technology. These needs can be provided for quickly, but become obsolete even quicker. In 1981, the first "true portable computer", the Osborne 1 was introduced by the Osborne Computer Corporation. (2) This computer revolutionized the way that computers were used and introduced a brand new working opportunity.
Technology has changed the way we communicate through our smart phones. These cordless phones have a variety of apps used to play games, maps, as musical players, alarm clocks, and even maintaining a healthy diet. Having all these fun things put all into one handheld device can come in handy in many situations, but it can put strain on your eyes and cause you to be something called isolated away from the world. It can also be distracting while sitting in a class; you pull your phone out and begin playing these games or amuse yourself with the collection of apps. I remember the first time get...
What Edward R. Murrow meant was that television was a great thing if used correctly, if not it was useless.

Augmented Reality (AR) is an influential user interface which is consolidating in to the reality and can be in the Pc created data ideal model improving a user's recognition environment.
In 500 B.C. the abacus was first used by the Babylonians as an aid to simple arithmetic. In 1623 Wihelm Schickard (1592 - 1635) invented a "Calculating Clock". This mechanical machine could add and subtract up to 6 digit numbers, and warned of an overflow by ringing a bell. J. H. Mueller comes up with the idea of the "difference engine", in 1786. This calculator could tabulate values of a polynomial. Muellers attempt to raise funds fails and the project was forgotten. Scheutz and his son Edward produced a 3rd order difference engine with a printer in 1843 and their government agreed to fund their next project.
I have been waiting for such a perfect opportunity to purchase my dream computer; the MacBook Pro, manufactured by Apple that weighs 2.02 kg. Getting the right specification was the breakthrough because, even more, my desire for the 15-inch laptop computer. The 15-inch computer has over 5 million pixels, which gives it a stunning look, with images taking a new level of pragmatism. It has an impressive 2880-by-1880 resolution that enables the eyes to view more of high-resolution images. Besides, it has a Retina display , which minimizes glare, maintaining an incredible quality and color. As a result, the high contrast ratio makes black images look blacker while white images look whiter. The inclusive IPS technology allows the user to view everything on the screen at a 178-degrees angle.
Thousands of years ago calculations were done using people’s fingers and pebbles that were found just lying around. Technology has transformed so much that today the most complicated computations are done within seconds. Human dependency on computers is increasing everyday. Just think how hard it would be to live a week without a computer. We owe the advancements of computers and other such electronic devices to the intelligence of men of the past.
