The American jeans producer Levi’s has announced its cooperation with the Google Corporation within the framework of the “Project Jacquard”. The goal of this project is to confront the historical limitations of wearable technologies by decoupling the touch interface from the digital device.
During Display Week 2016 at the Moscone Conference Center in San Francisco, California, the eMagin Corporation’s senior vice president of R&D, Dr Amal Ghosh, presented a paper entitled “Directly Patterned 2645 PPI Full Color OLED Microdisplay for Head Mounted Wearables”. Immediately following the presentation of the paper, eMagin demonstrated for the first time in public a direct-patterned OLED micro-display that can reach a maximum luminance of 4500 nits with vivid colours and in full video mode.

Henkel Adhesive Technologies from Düsseldorf, Germany, and ContiTech Elastomer Coatings (Hannover, Germany) will now be working more closely together in the fields of functional printing and printed electronics. The two companies made an announcement concerning the agreement in question at the printing trade show drupa in Düsseldorf. The aim is to develop products that can be produced using cost-effective roll-to-roll processing in flexographic and other printing processes.
