Side note: Roll this tech out into book sleeves so I can get my dust free sports almanac!]]>Nov 15th 2007 1:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/15/lg-philips-readying-smudge-free-computer-displays/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/15/lg-philips-readying-smudge-free-computer-displays/
Sounds like a Teflon-coated LCD... but if it works I'm all for it.]]>Nov 15th 2007 2:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/15/lg-philips-readying-smudge-free-computer-displays/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/15/lg-philips-readying-smudge-free-computer-displays/

Bad news for my gecko.]]>Nov 15th 2007 3:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/15/lg-philips-readying-smudge-free-computer-displays/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/15/lg-philips-readying-smudge-free-computer-displays/
Seriously, if it doesn't reduce the sensitivity of the screen's, this will be great on iPhones, ITs, and all manner of touchscreen gadgets.

But they aren't talking about handhelds, they're talking notebooks. I suspect there's a reason. :(]]>Nov 15th 2007 4:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/15/lg-philips-readying-smudge-free-computer-displays/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/15/lg-philips-readying-smudge-free-computer-displays/http://ezinearticles.com/?Chemical-Peel&id=781895]]>Nov 16th 2007 3:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/15/lg-philips-readying-smudge-free-computer-displays/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/15/lg-philips-readying-smudge-free-computer-displays/
My MSE 367 professor is working on this and is one of the leaders in this field. Here is a press release on it, followed by some follow up reading on how this works for those who are interested. Well reading through one of the links it seems that this would be possible on a flexible substrate as well so perhaps this is the same tech.

That said, smudges are a non-issue to me, generally speaking. It's funny that we are seeing all these tacky gloss laptops and desktops and monitors now, and this comes out. Har. Would be interesting to see just how effective it is. I doubt it's 100% resistant.]]>Nov 15th 2007 7:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/15/lg-philips-readying-smudge-free-computer-displays/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/15/lg-philips-readying-smudge-free-computer-displays/Nov 15th 2007 10:50PM
