Kodak showcases underwater OLED display

What you see above are some Lego characters starting in awe at a glass jar. However, what’s actually in the glass jar is what’s important. Kodak has recently used this promo picture to let the world know that they are working on underwater OLED displays.

As of now, they are in their early stages of development but who’s to say in a few years we won’t be seeing underwater home theaters?

Crazy? Yes. Practical? No. Going to happen? Probably.

Sony Waterproof Universal Remotes

Sony is going to launch a whole new line of universal remotes and besides being able to control pretty much everything that lies around your house, they are also waterproof. That means you can afford to occasionally drop them in any kind of liquid and still be able to use them later.

The remotes will be available in Japan at first and starting with September 10 you will be able to get your new Sony universal remote control.

Ito Electronics Comes Up with Waterproof OLED Displays


We’ve seen various OLED products lately and we have more to show you. Today we have a waterproof OLED display made by Ito Electronics. You’re probably not going to have an OLED TV installed in your pool soon but OLED waterproof displays could be really useful when it comes to watches or cellphones. We have no actual products for now but given this new “packaging technology” used for making them waterproof we should expect prototypes soon.

IP65 Waterproof Outdoor LCD Display from Collevodo!


Say hello to the giant waterproof LCD display from Collevo. Why waterproof? Well because it is meant to be an outdoor display and survive all environmental circumstances. It features a satisfying IP65 water-dust proof classification, auto power saving, a top, side and rear case waterproof designs to protect against rain, splashing and even a wash down by direct hoes. And the difference it promises to bring, is the fact that it is readable even in the sunlight. It comes in different sizes from 26″ to 42″, displaying 16.7 million colors and running on 115W to 240W, which isn’t that much compared to other huge LCD outdoor displays.

If you feel like buying it for indoor use, be sure to get yourself a new house featuring a giant living room. And here’s a tip. Wear a big giant tent when using it outdoors. It be weird to sit through football in the rain without a tent just because this Collevo is waterproof.

We don’t know yet for how much it will retail, but stick around and you’ll know as soon as we will.
