Sony to Exit Desktop Display Market

August 19, 2006

Due to stiff price competition, sources (Var Business) is reporting that Sony will exit the desktop display market.

Palm Treo 700P: Delayed Mass Production

August 3, 2006

The Treo 700P improves on the 700W with a 320 x 320 resolution screens, instead of the puny 240 x 240. Of course, it’s not Palm’s fault; it’s Microsoft’s. But no bashing Microsoft, not in this article. The TFT LCD touch display can display 65,536 colors. Before I go dive into the main point, I [...]

NEC will launch its NL4827HC19-01B in June. The 4.3" TFT LCD panel is wide and has a pixel format of 480 x 272. A bit on the low side, but enough to be a drop-in replacement for Sony's PSP. Sony's PSP maxes out at 200 cd/m2 brightness, but this panel has 300.The target of the [...]

Motorola Q

May 18, 2006

This smartphone or pdaphone or whatever you want to call these convergence communication-multimedia devices has a lot going for it. I won’t discuss all of it since there are many other sites that do a much better job. I’m here to talk about the display. The pixel format is 320 x 240, better than the [...]
