LG Displays showcases some interesting use cases for flexible OLED screens

Flexible OLED display panels have found meaning in gaming monitors and foldable devices, which are certainly growing in popularity every passing day, but that’s certainly not all there is to the tech. At the upcoming CES trade show, LG Displays will showcase a couple more innovative applications - a reclining Media Chair and a Virtual Ride.

Media Chair

The Media Chair is basically a rotating reclining chair attached to a 55-inch curved OLED TV with just the optimum space between the two for a comfortable and immersive TV viewing experience. There are speakers in the chair and there is also LG’s Cinematic Sound OLED technology where the panel vibrates to produce sound.

The display itself has a 1500R curve that LG says is best suited to keep the media in perfect focus. The TV also repositions itself for the optimum viewing distance as you recline the chair. Users will also be able to switch between portrait and landscape orientation using the button on the right armrest.

Of course, this is just a concept for now and doesn’t come with a price tag attached. This could, however, someday be available to consumers for an exorbitant price and by then it could also integrate massage pads.

Virtual Ride

Virtual Ride combines three 55-inch Curved LED displays with one curved at a tight 500R bend to create an immersive outdoor riding experience. LG is also pitching this as a more pragmatic VR headset alternative for riders, but we doubt if it would feel as immersive.

Anyways, the good thing is that with more products using foldable OLED displays, the technology will gradually become a tad more accessible to the masses. Let’s wait and watch.

First ever drone-delivered kidney is no worse for wear

Drone delivery really only seems practical for two things: take-out and organ transplants. Both are relatively light and also extremely time sensitive. Well, experiments in flying a kidney around Baltimore in a refrigerated box have yielded positive results — which also seems promising for getting your pad thai to you in good kit. The test flights were conducted by researchers at the University of Maryland there, led by surgeon Joseph Scalea. He has been frustrated in the past with the inflexibility of air delivery systems, and felt that drones represent an obvious solution to the last-mile problem. Scalea and his colleagues modified a DJI M600 drone to carry a refrigerated box payload, and also designed a wireless biosensor for monitoring the organ while in flight. After months of waiting, their study was assigned a kidney that was healthy enough for testing but not good enough for transplant. Once it landed in Baltimore, the team loaded it into the container and had it travel 14 ...
