LG may develope webOS smartphones later.
WorldWide Tech & Science. Francisco De Jesùs.
As we know LG now plans to showcase an Internet-connected television model powered by webOS in January at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
The LG WebOS smart TV would retain the “cards” system, or a stack of pop-ups that allows users to navigate multiple applications, originally used in the webOS mobile devices launched by Palm and later by HP.
LG didn’t comment on the company’s plans to market the webOS-powered TVs but said the operating system may be developed and later adopted for LG’s other consumer electronics, including smartphones.

Slimmer Pocket Photo 2.0 is the Perfect On-the-Go
Companion for Customizing, Printing and Sharing Images
LG Electronics (LG) will showcase its new Pocket Photo 2.0 (Model PD239) smart mobile printer at the 2014 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas from January 7-10. LG’s latest Pocket Photo device provides wireless connectivity with NFC and Bluetooth, enabling users to print custom 5.1 x 7.6cm (2 x 3 inch) pictures from most of today’s tablets and smartphones. Compatible with Android and iOS, the versatile Pocket Photo 2.0 is an excellent travel companion.
The eye-pleasing LG Pocket Photo 2.0 is one of the smallest mobile photo printing devices on the market The new versionis 4mm thinner than its predecessorbut manages to deliver more prints per charge.Moreover, the LG Pocket Photo 2.0 prints pictures rendered at a crystal clear 313dpi — perfect for sharing or displaying. After downloading and installing the free Pocket Photo editingapp, users can wirelessly connect their smartphone or tablet and begin printing immediately.

LG expands ‘Knock’ as standard feature in L series II
Popular Feature Introduced in G2 to
Make Its Way Into Key Future LG Mobile Devices
LG Electronics (LG) announced that its popular Knock feature (formerly known asKnockON) will be included as a standard feature in the company’s key mobile devices in the future while its line of L SeriesII smartphones will receive Knock through a global Maintenance Release upgrade starting in January 2014.1
Knock was first introduced in LG G2 as a convenient way to turn the smartphone on and off by tapping twice on the display since the power button was located on the back of the phone. Then Knock was featured in a tablet for the first time with the LG G Pad 8.3 followed by the G Flex curved smartphone which also shared the rear button design of the G2. The reaction of audiences to this new feature was so positive that a version for LG’s best-selling L SeriesII was developed to offer the feature to as many customers as possible.
“Knock is distinctively an LG UX and a great example of what happens when you marry the latest in mobile technology with consumer-centric insights,” said Dr. Jong-seok Park, President and CEO of LG Electronics’ Mobile Communications Company, “No one ever thought that a power button needed to be improved until our engineers wondered why they couldn’t turn the entire screen into a power button.”

Flexible OLED technology will dominate global display market. Todays aren`t truly flexible.
Flexible OLED technology will dominate global display market. Todays aren`t truly flexible.
WorldWide Tech & Science. Francisco De Jesùs.
The flexible displays currently on the market are not “truly flexible” products.
“The flexible displays do not deserve their name since they were just stretched by force into a curved shape,” Kim Yun-hi, a chemistry professor at Gyeongsang National University in Jinju, South Gyeongsang Province said.
Organic polymers recently developed by Kim and a group of researchers are expected to help developers overcome the limitations of the existing technology, such as inorganic thin-film transistors and oxide thin-film transistors, paving the way for the truly flexible display era.
The materials have better pliability and stability than other OLED technologies, and have a record-high level of charge-carrying mobility, she said.
The researcher expects that the materials with high electron mobility will help us develop much lighter and cheaper smart gadgets equipped with flexible and bendable displays.
The organic polymers can also be used for various products, ranging from photovoltaic panels and radio frequency identification devices to biometric recognition gadgets, according to the professor, who has been working with Samsung Display in developing materials for OLED technologies and nurturing students in the field.
She has received calls for collaboration from global chemical and display firms, which she declined to identify, in developing new displays.
Based on the findings of market research institute DisplaySearch, Samsung Electronics forecasted, that the flexible OLED displays will take up around 40 percent of the mobile display market by 2018.
Yoon Boo-keun, Samsung’s consumer electronics chief, recently said that the Korean tech firm would likely unveil flexible TVs next year.
Earlier this year, Samsung and LG both rolled out curved OLED TVs and curved OLED smartphones.
The world’s first curved products failed to appeal to customers, mainly because of high price tags and an absence of unique features other than the curved bodies.
Another challenge for the tech firms is the lack of key fundamental technologies, according to Kim.
The Korean tech firms are indeed eager to obtain related patents for OLEDs.
In 2009, LG Electronics acquired the OLED business unit of Kodak, which first created the OLED technology in 1979. This year Samsung Electronics and Cheil Industries, a subsidiary of Samsung Group, purchased Novaled, a German firm that owns around 500 intellectual property rights for OLED technologies.
Kim has predicted that the era of truly flexible organic light-emitting diode displays will come as early as next year as major electronics firms plan to churn out a slew of smart devices that can be folded and rolled up.
“Consumers will likely see various types of flexible or bendable displays applied to smartphones and wearable gadgets,”
”For example, the next generation of the Galaxy Gear and Google Glass, featuring fully flexible displays, will come out within a couple years,” she said.
Stressing that the OLED is indeed the technology of the future, the professor predicted that the technology will dominate the global display market down the road as the OLED displays become cheaper and lighter than those currently used.

LG’s Director of the Enyo Framework and Tools, Gray Norton (GN),answered questions made by DeveloperTech (DT) about the company’s recent SDK update and what it means for the future of TV development.
The question:
DT: LG is attending AppsWorld in San Francisco next year; can you speak a little about your participation there?
The answer:
GN: We will be able to show-off at that point all the work we have been doing on the next-generation LG TV. We’ll also be showing not only the types of apps that can be built but also talking to developers about the framework and how to build them.
One of the interesting things about the Enyo framework we use is that it’s loosely coupled with WebOS but it can be used separate as well. It’s a cross-platform framework so the promise is developers can use Enyo to build apps that run on LG Smart TVs but can be run on other TV platforms as well; potentially including the types of devices such as consoles.
