Dialog Semiconductor ramps up production of translucent displays for Lenovo S800
We did a double take last fall when we saw Lenovo's S800 phone with a see-through display, and now it seems the futuristic handset is more than just proof of concept. Dialog Semiconductor, the company that makes that passive matrix OLED display, said the S800 will be the first commercial product to incorporate its SmartXtrend translucent screen, which claims superior picture and color quality, viewing angles, and video playback. The company also said the technology is particularly well-suited to displays with QVGA resolution -- a miniscule tidbit about a device that, unlike its screen, leaves a lot to the imagination. Still no word on when it will be available, but at least we can rest assured it's not a fantasy.
