TECHNOLOGY GONE ADVANCE AS LG Unveils World's First Curved OLED TV

This year at CES Samsung decided to unveil its curved OLED TV. The Company unveiled this advancement as the first to produce curved television set and name this television as the world's first curved television set, Despite the fact that the company claims this is the world's first curved television set, another tech giant LG doesn't think so.
Moreover, LG says that it is going to become the world's first firm to begin commercializing the technology and that the first to obtain the Curved OLED TV in May will be people of South Korea.
It is worth mentioning that the new TV from LG is called 55EA9800 and it boasts a 54.6-inch screen with curved forward edges that provide "IMAX-like" viewing experience.
According to the company its researchers needed 5 years to come up with the optimum curvature so that the whole surface of the screen is equidistant from the eyes of the viewer.
LG's 55EA9800 is equipped with in-house WRGB technology, which adjoins a white sub-pixel to the traditional red, green and blue sub pixels. In addition, the TV has an infinite contrast ratio that cannot be affected by ambient brightness or viewing angle.
Another interesting thing about the new curved TV is its thickness, which is just 4.3 mm, and weight - 17 kg (37.5 lb).
For customer's comfort, the company ahs also developed a wall mount for its TV.
The initial price of the TV is 15 million Korean Won (around US$13,500). In the coming months LG will announce the price of its curved TV for other markets.

Latest Invention: World's Fastest Cat Robot

A team of Swiss researchers managed to come up with a cute cat-like robot that can run very fast.
In fact the robotic cat is able to reach a speed of 5 feet (1.52 meters) per second, being able to cover 7 body lengths each second.
The upper mentioned figures make the robot the fastest small quadraped robot.
In order to dodge obstacles, the robot can lean. This also helps it cover a rough terrain without much trouble.
It would be interesting to note that the new robot does not have a head - take a look at the video at the end of the story.
Researchers call their latest invention the "cheetah-cub robot". This is because the machine resembles a smaller version of MIT's "Cheetah" robot.
The team hopes to use their robot in search and rescue missions. Recently researchers published information on their invention in the International Journal of Robotics Research.

SIGHT FOR THE BLIND

 

The first bionic eye prototype was introduced by a team of Australian designers in early June. The bionic eye works by having a chip implanted into the user’s skull and then connected to a digital camera in the glasses. While the glasses currently only allow the user to see outlines, the prototype has a lot of promise to be improved upon in the future. Once the camera captures an image, the signal is changed and sent wirelessly to the microchip. From there, the signal activates spots on the microchip implanted into the visual cortex of the brain. The team of researchers is hoping to further the capabilities of the glasses while keeping them lightweight, adjustable, and comfortable for the wearer. It should be usable by 85 percent of people who are legally blind.

Latest Invention: Flying Bike

The mystery happens in Prague where the world's first flying bike was out to test on june 12.

It has been said that this revolutionary invention was developed and built by engineers that work together with three Czech companies.

Probably for security reasons, the companies did not use a real pilot. Instead that put a dummy on the bike during the test flight.

According to sources, the bike weighs about 209 pounds (95 kilograms) and it is able to fly thanks to battery-powered propellers mounted to its front and

rear.
