OLED-Displays.net has the news of several big OLED announcements coming out of CES2010. In particular, Samsung has several things coming out like the new “IceTouch” MP3 player with integrated transparent OLED touchscreen.
The Samsung IceTouch (YP-H1), featuring the world’s first 2-inch, full color, transparent Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode (AMOLED) touch-screen display, functions as a DVD-quality video player, studio quality audio player, an ultra-portable photo album, an FM radio and even a portable storage device.
The stylish IceTouch is a 16 GB player and made of tempered glass.
In addition, they’ve got news of an OLED Digital Photo Frame, several different 14-inch OLED prototypes from Sansung, a new Sony walkman with OLED display, and pictures of several displays in the partially assembled booths of LG, Sony, and Samsung. A korean company IDTV also plans to announced the ‘World’s First Portable Digital TV’ called the myGoTV, sporting a nice 3.4″ AMOLED display.
Could 2010 finally be the year that OLED makes mainstream? Nothing in the “absurdly large” category, but it seems to be quickly gaining momentum in the embedded and mobile device spaces.

We are entering a transparency time. First the LG GD900, then the Samsung IceTouch. What’s next? Maybe a transparent computer display from Apple?
