Meet SRD: Bodle's e-paper display technology based on PCM materials.

While E Ink is certainly the clear leader in the e-paper market, some companies are developing what they hope will become next-gen e-paper displays. Bodle, based in Oxford, UK, is developing a technology it calls SRD, based on research that started in Oxford University a few years ago.

SRD, or Solid-State Reflective Displays, creates color using light interference inside an ultra-thin film. The film contains a phase-change material, the same one used in writable CD-R discs. When this material is switched between its amorphous and crystalline phases, the color is changed.

SRD displays do not require any pigments, dyes or liquids - and can reportedly achieve bright and vivid colors. Bodle says that its technology, compared to other reflective and e-paper displays, offers a wider color gamut, high brightness, lower power and a fast response time - enough to show videos. SRD displays can also achieve very high resolutions, over 1,000 PPI.

Bodle's VP of business development, Dr. Richard Holliday, updates us that while the techonology is still in a "laboratory phase", the company has already proven that SRD displays can achieve vibrant colors and fast switching. The company is now busy building its first full-scale prototype. The production process itself is simple and uses only solid-state films, which the company hopes will enable it to be cost competitive with other displays.

Retail Statistics.

The new retail buzzword is real-time retailing. It’s all about giving the customer what she wants, how she wants it and as close to when she wants it as possible. There is no more multichannel or omnichannel – it’s just the retailer and the customer. This makes the retail industry the one to gain the most from digital signage, especially considering how fragmented the customer journey is.

Projection mapping magic.

ISE 2017 saw Panasonic making an addition to its large venue projector range, with the introduction of the PT-RZ21K. It adds a laser light source companion to the PT-DZ21K, which is Europe's best selling high-brightness projector. RZ21K was incorporated inside the showstopper that really drew the crowds.

LG shows off the world's first 88-inch 8K OLED display

Just as 4K and HDR are finally going mainstream, the ambitious folks at LG Display have also been busy pushing its OLED technology to 8K. Come CES, the Korean manufacturer will be letting attendees get up close with its new 88-inch 8K OLED display (can we just call it the "Triple 8?"), which is both the largest and the highest-resolution OLED panel to date. But as far as specs go, that's all we have for now.

Previously, the largest OLED screen size was 77 inches, and it "only" came in 4K. While this combination is currently offered to consumers by the likes of LG Electronics, Sony and Panasonic, they all source their large OLED panels from LG Display.

With its main rival Samsung Display having long shifted its focus from OLED TVs to QLED TVs, LG Display is now the sole large-size OLED display maker in the world. That said, with potential competition from other countries like Japan, LG Display has made huge investments to ensure that it continues to have the upper hand by ramping up OLED production capacity, as well as to make a bigger push into mobile OLED panels -- a market dominated by its Samsung counterpart. Part of this includes the construction of a new OLED plant outside of Korea for the first time -- in China's Guangzhou city, no less, and this was recently approved by the South Korean government.
