Slashdot Mirror

The next iPhone will have a screen like this ...guaranteed. And it will be awesome.

My first thought was that they make FHD (1920x1080) LCD projectors that have a LCD screen of about 1" providing their display.

Well, the AC said 39 microns, unsourced. I found a source. Then found another that says 15.

Making it bigger while keeping the panel that small(IE increasing overall resolution) might eventually be a problem, but given what I'm seeing going 'retina' even with desktop/laptop monitors(my biggest remaining resolution gripe) should be readily possible.

or maybe someone has, the releases are only months apart after all. Daedalus is that Japanese cyber attack visualization thing http://www.diginfo.tv/v/12-0116-r-en.php

Light-controlling sheet switches between mirror and transparent states

Exactly, and it's going to use something like this display from Hitachi.

Export the technology to Japan and you get muscle suits to help nurses and factory floor workers. The military is not the driving force for technology in every country.

Makes sense since, you know, Japan doesn't exactly have a military. I think it had to do something with WWII. Not sure, since I'm on Slashdot and therefore know an insultingly small amount about history.

Video and interview with Shimizu engineer available here.

There is a video news release and interview with the project manager here: http://movie.diginfo.tv/2007/10/26/07-0502-r.php

the nice thing about this (that i forgot until now) is that they aren't just solar cells. working with AIST, a national research center in japan, the cells are also used as sensors to recieve infra-red data from an array of LEDs. this data is converted into electrical signals inside the receiver then sent to a speaker, so they've basically created a wireless, battery-less remote speaker unit. pretty cool... video here and product info here

You can find more info and a video with Kyosemi CEO here.

you can see the Haptic LCD monitors in action here: http://movie.diginfo.tv/ just do a search for Immersion, the company that developed this technology.
