Glance mobile phone design is based on the idea where we utilize our mobile phone to read the time, calendar, emails, text messages, and social network updates. Usually, you have to get your cell phone out of the pocket just to read the time or check incoming mails. Glance objective is to design a cell phone which allows you to do all those activities without the need to take out the phone from your pocket.
Slyde company has introduced a unique digital watch HD3, developed by designer Jörg Haysekom (Jorg Hysek). Watch is equipped with LED touch screen (OLED possible option) with moving vertically and horizontally different virtual screens. User can choose whatever background and layout he wants with a touch of a finger.
Flexible gadgets are undeniably sexy – but Japanese electronics giant Sony wasn’t content stopping there. For their newest display, they decided to also throw in ultra-thinness (just 80μm or a bit thinner than a human hair) and the energy-saving power of OLEDs into the mix. The new prototype is so bendy that it can be wrapped around a pencil. From electronic newspapers to LED garments, just think about the applications such a display could be used for!
The US Army is testing a prototype wrist watch designed by L-3 Display Systems of Alpharetta, Georgia. The new display model uses efficient OLED materials that are lightweight, flexible and have long enough lifetimes. The watch has been made from newly developed energy efficient phosphorescent material that converts electricity into red, blue, and green light. Although there has been no worn on the power consumption specs it is believes that the device uses just one-fourth the power of a conventional OLED.
In the efforts to satisfy our visions of the future, the relationship between technology and sustainability is a pressing issue of concern at all the levels. This is the reason why designers are increasingly moving towards sustainability to bridge that gap. In yet another example of blending technology and sustainability, a designer has created a sustainable mobile communication device dubbed as Infinite. The device clearly looks like a Windows phone 7 device from the interface along with a touch screen feature. According to a brief by the designer, this sustainable mobile phone has a life expectancy of 5 years along with super quick charge time, 8.1MP camera, WiFi, 360 OLED screen and 32GB memory with an upgradeable feature. Featuring the casing in Kenaf bio plastic, this device is fully recyclable and biodegradable. Whilst deeply deploying the pursuit of sustainability, the designer has maintained the essential and luxury user requirements to conform with today’s fashion.
