Embraer announced that it has delivered the first Praetor 600E aircraft to Flexjet. The new aircraft has a newly design cabin with all-new seating - and includes technologies aimed at elevating comfort, productivity and connectivity.

One of the new technologies that Embraer implemented is the Smart Window - which is a 42-inch touch-enabled OLED panel that can be used for conference, video streaming - or to show real-time external views (using three externally mounted cameras).

Shenzhen-based display maker HKC announced that it has shipped the first batch of flexible smartphone OLED panels out of its H6 5.5-Gen AMOLED production line in Shenzhen, a production line it has acquired from Royole early last year.

This is a great step forward for HKC, and marks its entrance into the (small) club of OLED panel producers.

In recent years, we have seen increased demand for OLED monitor panels, mainly from the gaming industry, as OLED makers managed to offer panels that offer high resolution, high refresh rates, and an excellent image quality. 

Omdia estimates that OLED monitor panel revenue grew 74% in 2025, generating around $2.8 billion, and will grow to $3.6 billion in 2026 - up from 30% from 2025. Most of the demand, currently is from gaming monitors, and so OLED panel makers have focused on increased refresh rates to improving the gaming experience.

The Korean ministry of trade, industry and resources is launching a new project to develop AMOLED displays for fighter jet cockpits. 

The project will utilize LG Display's OLED display technology, and Hanwha Systems' defense fighter jet system experience.

Researchers from Korea's Kyung Hee University, in collaboration with researchers from the University of St Andrews, are proposing a new architecture to increase the light output of phosphorescence OLED devices. Experiments have shown a 30% increase in EQE.

This novel architecture includes a new colloidal quantum dot (QD) interlayer as a plasmonic coupling medium in an inverted phosphorescent OLED device. This new layer helps to mitigate the efficiency and stability losses arising from waveguide and surface plasmon polariton modes.

A year ago, Garmin launched the world's first microLED wearable, the Fenix 8 Pro MicroLED smartwatch, with a 1.4" 454x454 round microLED display (produced by AUO), that offers up to 4,500 nits of brightness.

That display was received quite well, and reviewers praised the high brightness, and excellent viewing angles. The microLED, however, came with a price: the watch is much thicker than the AMOLED alternative (the touch layer was not integrated into the display), the power consumption is almost double, and at launch it had a $700 premium.
