Sales of Apple’s iPad device will certainly grow in 2011 according to a report from DigiTimes. So it will need more screens. LG Display could receive orders for 35 million iPad panels from Apple in 2011, with Samsung and Chimei Innolux (CMI), who are scheduled to join Apple’s iPad supply chain in the first quarter of 2011, each possibly receiving orders for as many as 15 million units.

Apple’s 9.7 inch screen is making it difficult for competitors to match and the iPad’s screen size will likely lower component pricing in a way that only benefits Apple. This forces competitors to design and build 5 and 7 inch screens that don’t benefit from the scale of Apple’s high volume sales.

Samsung has announced an interesting handset in China, the W899. This flip phone features Android 2.2 along with dual Super AMOLED touchscreens on the flip portion. Each screen is 3.3 inches and has the same 480×800 resolution.

There’s also the hardware keypad, a 5-megapixel camera that can record 720p videos and in China, it supports both CDMA/EVDO and GSM networks. Then there’s Wi-Fi, a GPS sensor and a microSD card slot.

Danger. Danger Will Robinson. Apple’s screens are a silent danger just waiting to mess you up. So says an advisory recently published by Queensland University of Technology, which predicts a rash of injuries as a result of users straining to get a clear look at Apple’s “high gloss” screens, due to the ergonomically unsafe postures and positions that result.

If you have such a display, Queensland Tech offers many suggestions for staying healthy: One is placing the monitor so that screen is at a 90 degree angle to overhead lighting, another is closing the curtains or blinds to minimize glare, and adjusting the contrast / turning down the brightness. Most importantly, do not panic!

Pixel Qi is showing off its latest line of displays that are more energy efficient compared to your standard LCD display. The screens will feature two modes: A backlit mode with full color saturation and an ePaper mode that will not use the backlight in order to use less energy.

The ePaper mode also makes the display easier to read when in bright sunlight compared to most displays. The image above is of a Pixel Qi display modified to for an Acer Aspire One in ePaper mode, chillin in the sun.

Electrical engineering researchers at the University of Tokyo have developed a flexible, stretchable OLED that acts like rubber. It doesn’t tear or break when stretched. They produce the material by spraying a layer of carbon nanotubes with a fluoro-rubber compound, which creates a rubbery, conducive material.

At 10-centimeters square, the current monochrome display prototype has a resolution of just 256 pixels and can apparently be folded about 1,000 times with out degrading, falling apart, or tearing. In short, our future may be filled with rubber bouncing balls that have OLED screens.

The U.S. Navy apparently desires a laptop capable of displaying 2 animated frogs at once. On two separate displays. Well, they got it in this multi-screen, rugged, battle-ready laptop. The gScreen TITAN M-1 dual screen workstation, which is the most rugged version of the G400, built specifically to specs requested by the NAVY.

It will withstand extreme environments and meets MIL-STD 810F standards. Some features include: Intel Core 2 Quad QX9300 processor, 4GB of memory, and 500GB hard drive. And of course the two frog displaying screens for cartoon frog multitasking.

This allegedly leaked photo of new Nintendo DS screens has everyone scratching their heads. Apparently the difference in the updated display is a screen size from 3 inches to 3.25 inches. Though it’s not the widescreen system that many of you were hoping for, the new screen size shouldn’t mess with the aspect ratio of existing DS titles. Could this be a sneak peek at the new DS’ upgraded screens? We’ll find out soon enough.
