Samsung Promises Flexible Displays and Fewer Smartphone Models in 2015

With some delay on the proposed 2013 calendar, Samsung has promised to bring fully flexible smartphone market by the end of next year displays. However, the Korean company has not yet determined the device details to continue in the footsteps of the Galaxy and Galaxy Note Round Edge.

The confirmation of the plans of the manufacturer comes through VP Strategic Business Team at Samsung, Lee Chang-hoon. The management has taken the stage at the Samsung 2014 Investor Forum in New York to chart the roadmap of the company in the coming years.

"We will ensure a production capacity of between 30,000 and 40,000 flexible displays per month by the end of next year. We plan to offer consumers a product that has a flexible year-end display. However, it has not decided anything about the product completed. There will be no company other than Samsung who has this large production capacity by 2016 ".

Samsung Flexible displays would lead to similar to those shown at CES 2013. That same year concepts, Samsung placed the arrival of the "foldable" screens at some point in 2016, but not before overcoming certain technological barriers.

Lee also announced that the company expects to reduce the cost of their AMOLED panels to facilitate migration from LCD technology. "We are prepared to compete directly with the LCD AMOLED are similar in price to the LCD, but better in terms to capacity. We are confident that more people will buy AMOLED. "

On the other hand, the executive vice president of Samsung, Robert Yi, has confirmed that the company "will reduce the number of smartphone models between a quarter and a third" for 2015. This move responds to the saturation recognized in the catalog from the company has weakened the brand in highly competitive markets.

Apple is Working on a New 3D Display

3D displays level phones are not popular to say. Amazon already experimented with this concept in his Fire Phone Smartphone and things did not go well at all, in fact the device has virtually failed in the market. With this in mind, companies should invest in other similar developments? The idea is undoubtedly good, just need to hit the mark and create a screen that the audience likes. Of course this can be a risk for some firms, but for others like Apple, that's not a big deal. The apple products are sold very well, and if you then want to continue reinventing a 3D display seems to be a good option.

New rumors indicate that Apple is working on a screen with 3D capabilities and also will not require the use of 3D glasses by the user. But that's not all, because apparently the Cupertino Company is also developing software for it. Will we see this screen in the future iPhone 7? Maybe, but it's still a bit early to tell.

According to information provided Apple's suppliers in China, 3D screen would be a revolution for the company, as they would have to put aside your current screen technology to move to a new type of panel. It is said that making them would be in charge of the TPK firm specializing in touch screens.

In the past Apple has already registered some patents 3D user interfaces, but so far not been used. These are the first rumors that the company would be putting into practice these ideas. While iOS 8 and 7 and play around with the 3D thanks to the parallax effect, they are still far from providing true 3D.

Sprout HP PC: 3D Projector and Scanner Keyboard Instead

Technology in computing devices and telephony increasingly pointing towards the simplification of processes and expanding uses fewer resources through, making him touch the all-in-one that makes things easier, but not in matters of calculation it has been possible to separate the people from the mouse and physical keyboard, these being absolutely necessary for the use and operation of laptops and desktops in the same way.

This is precisely what you are looking for cover-ups of HP, the HP Sprout PC, a desktop computer that has a projector and 3D scanner, which together do what is necessary to provide not only a viable solution for use without mouse and keyboard, but covering other needs.

Technology and uses HP PC Sprout

The Sprout HP PC has a touch screen of 23 inches, Full HD, Intel Core i7 processor, video memory with 2GB Nvidia graphics card, 8GB of RAM and hard disk space of 1 TB.

But these data are certainly conventional, what really separates Sprout HP PC from others, is that it has a projector projector that working closely your 3D scanner may be able to capture real objects and create a virtual version of these to handle the PC, it makes very efficient with 3D objects and 2D way, which must be placed on the template also includes equipment and only scanning. This is ideal for designers, architects and anyone who works with media and especially with Photoshop. It is indeed a tremendous saving of time.

Besides this, the template you mentioned, is tactile, is 23 inches in dimension, and is capable of recognizing up to 20 touch points simultaneously, so that the same is made of the keyboard, which projects on it and has great tactile response when typing.

This is not the only function of the touch template, since it has the special functionality and attractive that it can also serve as a second touch screen, where you can manipulate images, video, data, virtual objects and even play games so much friendly and intuitive.

The projector and scanner located at the top of the screen has RealSense 3D technology created by Intel, also has a 14.6 megapixel camera, the HP DLP projector, and is supported by an LED lamp.

There is a good future for HP Sprout PC

It provided for the creation of special apps to take advantage of the virtues of this PC, like your scanner and tactile template, so its use can be expanded as imagine, since it has considerable freedom in this regard.

In my opinion it is a team that has so much potential, has no gimmicks that sound too crazy to work, as if we have seen in other cases, is a very good option and could become a pioneer in the design of the PC future.
