Electronics giant LG may be the first to finally send flexible digital newspapers in the streets as the company just announced that it has begun mass production of a 6-inch, 1024 x 768 e-paper screen that can bend by up to 40 degrees. At 0.7mm thick, the entire display could be as thin as a protective film for a phone’s screen.

The plastic-based screen is reportedly being shipped to Chinese manufacturers to build e-readers right away. According to the reports, LG conducted 1.5-meter (about 5 foot) drop tests with the screen and smacked it with a rubber mallet without being damaged.

There are no other technical specifics regarding the e-reader or any pricing information as of yet. However, according to reports, the devices based on the technology could be available in Europe as soon as early April.

LG has announced its new 3D notebook named A540-T/D. The device is expected to be popular among fans of home theater entertainment.

The A540-T/D features stereoscopic 3D which requires users to wear passive 3D glasses to view the content. This technology also uses the computer’s webcam to track the location of the user’s eyes on the screen in real time and computes for the best possible 3D image for such view. It is also able to convert regular 2D content to 3D with a single push of a button.

To bring a maximal entertainment experience to users, the device is also equipped with SRS Premium Sound 5.1 with a 4.1 channel speaker with a subwoofer. This speaker system is known for delivering realistic sound quality, which would complement the 3D images on the screen.

At its heart is an Intel Core i7 quad-core processor and GeForce GT555M graphics, a powerful combination that is recommended for devices focusing on stunning visuals.

The notebook is made of light aluminum material and comes with a full-sized keyboard with a numeric keypad. Other information regarding its specifications such as its RAM, internal storage, connectivity options, and Input/ Output connections are currently unknown.

Meanwhile, a similar device that LG announced is the A540-P which has similar specifications as the A540-T/D. The former sports a HD screen but lacks the A540-T/D’s 3D capability.

LG just can’t wait for Mobile World Congress to introduce its Optimus Vu handset. Admittedly, this site does not cover smartphone news, and to some extent, Apple products. However, the lines that divide the various form factors are slowly getting erased, if not blurred out. The Optimus Vu is a Samsung Galaxy Note, a phablet, a phone and a tablet in one. The Optimus Vu has the following specs: 5-inch stylus-friendly IPS LCD display with 1024×768 resolution and 4:3 aspect ratio.

According to rumors, the Optimus Vu will have 1.5GHz dual core CPU, 8MP camera, LTE and will run on Android 2.3. ICS update is promised three months from launch. Also this gadget is only 8.5 mm thick.

The LG Optimus Vu has showed some live images. The large ‘phablet’ has a 5-inch display that uses a 4:3 aspect ratio, giving a wider 90mm body than the 5.3-inch Samsung Galaxy Note with 83mm width. The device shuld be unveiled at the Mobile World Congress, which is going to happen from February 27 through March 1. In addition to the 4:3 aspect ratio, the display is an IPS-type and has dimensions of 1024×768 pixels.

The Optimus Vu is also expected to run on a 1.5GHz dual-core Snapdragon processor paired with 1GB of RAM. It will include 8GB of onboard storage, but should have a microSDHC slot in case the need for extra storage is needed. Other features include Wi-Fi 802.11n, Bluetooth 3.0, an 8-megapixel rear camera, GPS and NFC.

As with most of the new mobile phones expected to show at the World Mobile Congress, the device will run Android 2.3 (Gingerbread), which does not include native support for its dual-core processor. However, an Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update is expected to follow after its launch.

LG has done turning 3D technology more readily available in its latest A540 notebook. The A540 is one of those computers that has everything needed to make people reconsider their view that a laptop should be as thin and light as possible.

Measuring 15.6 inches, the A540 has a Full HD (1920×1080) glasses-free 3D display, with an IPS panel to boot. This means that viewing angles on this machine aren’t half bad (178 degrees horizontal/vertical, or thereabouts).

Inside this notebook greets an Intel Core i5 or Core i7 central processing unit, which can be paired by up to 8GB of DDR3 RAM. More importantly, this mobile PC features a discrete NVIDIA GeForce GTX 555 GPU.

Additional specs include a 1TB HDD, Bluetooth 3.0, 4.1-channel audio, USB 2.0 and 3.0, Gigabit Ethernet and 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi. All are in total of 2.6 kilograms (5.73 pounds) and relies on a head-tracking camera, which is placed just above the screen.

While the CPU’s built-in GMA HD is enough to work for web browsing and other basic things, it can’t pull its weight very well in high-resolution 3D video as well as to games. Provided, the LG A540 is sure to impress gamers when it finally starts shipping in the second quarter of 2012. Unfortunately, no price tag has been attached to it as of now.

LG Promotes A540 Glasses-Free 3D Notebook is a post from: Eee PC

LG just made its comeback on the tablet competition in an unusual post-CES launch with the Optimus Pad LTE. A direct sequel to its original predecessor, it keeps the 8.9-inch, 1280×768 IPS screen and now uses 4G connectivity for Internet access. While LG moved from the dual-core 1GHz Tegra 2 to a similarly dual-core 1.5GHz Snapdragon, it offers extra speed to the machine.

The Korean company has stopped on pushing its 3D capabilities and just depended on a single eight-megapixel camera on the back. A front two-megapixel camera is still there as well as support for HDMI video out. Android 3.2 ships from the start and lets it use a microSDHC card slot. A slight battery upgrade from 6,400mAh to 6,800mAh may help offset the extra battery drain from the LTE link.

Details are short on when the Optimus Pad LTE will ship. However, LG plans to offer its home country first before rolling the product elsewhere. In North America, the first Optimus Pad came to Rogers in Canada and T-Mobile in the US as the G-Slate.

LG’s taking its first two ultrabooks to CES this year, and it’s going absolutely with its main plan. The previously-announced 13.3-inch Xnote Z330 and the 14-inch Z430 will be “Super Ultrabooks” as they launch in the first quarter of 2012. Prices were not mentioned, yet the ultrabooks sound usually alike, with up-to-Core i7 Intel processors, integrated Intel graphics, 1366 x 768 resolution screens, a small array of ports and either an internal SSD or 500GB hard drive with optional SSD caching.

However, both are outsandingly thin machines at 14.7mm and 19.9mm respectively, weigh 2.67 and 3.3 pounds and are relatively small compared to their screens due to their ultra-slim bezels. LG’s fit the 13.3-inch screen into a 12-inch laptop footprint, while the 14-inch screen into a 13-incher’s chassis.

LG will also be bringing the P535 as well as the A540 laptops to CES, with 15.6-inch 3D screens, with the latter equipped with an 1080p film-pattern retarder polarized display, a 1080p IPS screen for wide viewing angles, or even a glasses-free screen.

Last January, LG has vaguely announced a new member of its LG G-Slate. There was no follow-up since then not until photos of the Optimus Pad leaked. Though the tablet’s image shown is covered by a sort of plastic wrapper, the 4G LTE logo is clearly seen.

The rumored 8.9-inch tablet is said to run by Android 3.2 Honeycomb OS and seems to be upgraded to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. It is also reported as to be powered by 1.5GHz dual-core Qualcomm processor (MDM9600 + MSM8660) and might come with a 1280 x 800-pixel resolution NOVA display. The internal memory comprises of 16GB and expandable through a microSD card. Just like with other usual tablet slates, the rumored Optimus Pad is also be equipped with a 1.3MP front-facing camera and an 8MP rear cam with LED flash digitally capable for 3D video recordings.

Apparently, most reports are suggesting the new tab to launch before the year ends. Let’s just hope that LG will soon release official details about the Optimus Pad 4G LTE.
