Intel Shows Off Notebook Prototype With 3 Multi-Touch OLED Displays
Intel has just unveiled their latest notebook that will definitely be expensive, but it’ll definitely be awesome. This new notebook concept / prototype by Intel has three (yes, three) OLED displays right above the keyboard. “They can be used to play media without taking up space on the main display but can also interact with each other: a video queued in one can be played on the other. Content can also be dragged to and from the sub-displays as well as the main LCD.” We don’t know if / when this will hit the shelves, but if you’re really interested you should start saving your money now.

I’ll just get right down to it. At IFA, Samsung stated that OLED-equipped notebooks could become a reality as early as the second half of next year (2010). “The netbook car drives at 100km/h, some of our competitors drive at 150km/h. The target for [us is] 200km/h.” That’s really all they’ve said right now. For now, you can enjoy their proof of concept above, which looks pretty neat – although that keyboard could take some getting used to.
LG Shows Off 15-Inch Possibly MacBook Bound OLED Displays
LG has just unveiled their 15-inch OLED display. The best part here is that this could be the same OLED display that LG could be dishing out for Apple to use. We heard rumours about this back in March (here) and in early August (here), but they are just rumours right now. The good thing is that MacBook Pros from Apple may be the first laptops out there with an OLED display; the bad news here is, of course, going to be the price. Apple notebooks are already expensive as it is, add in the rumoured Blu-ray drive and this rumoured OLED display and then you’re definitely looking into $4,000 to $5,000 USD.

We already know about flexible OLED displays and last week we heard about the first flexible LED display. Well, you may or may not know, but flexible OLED displays dislike water – until now, that is.
