Little-known LCD TV manufacturer Konka has an LCD TV of its own with the Konka LC47DT68DC, an ultra-thin body designed LCD TV that should fit in perfectly in any modern home theater setup or home. It comes with a dual-colored traceless injection display to complement its red and black curved design for that idealistic LCD TV look.

As most LCD TVs in the market, it boasts of a 1080P HD IPS ultra-thin screen and comes equipped with a 1G-speed chip that makes it possible to achieve its 1920×1080 HD resolution without compromising its imaging.

At the same time, the i-sport68 has adopted energy-saving technologies used in intelligent control that can automatically detect the various parts of each image brightness level, and based on the varying brightness of the images themselves, utilize an intelligent adjustment storage capacitor on signal electrodes.

A group of Japanese researchers working with green OLED at the Kanazawa Institute of Technology under Akiyoshi Mikami have announced that they are able to double the efficiency of green phospor-based OLEDs. They were able to pull it off by using a 0.7mm thick glass plate with a refraction index of 2.03 which were capable to boost the light-extraction efficiency by 2.3 times. That means the green OLEDs will get you a light efficiency of 210lm/W compared to just 94.3lm/W without the glass plate. The researchers will probably not stop there and future OLED displays will probably be able to offer consumers even more light efficiency.
