Earlier this month we got our first glimpse of the Sony Ericsson Xperia Pureness, a candy bar styled phone with a transparent display.

Well, today, the same device has appeared at the FCC who have given the device the go ahead. Unfortunately, there isn’t much regarding specs other than what we already know but the good news is the Xperia Pureness is a few steps closer to hitting North American store shelves.

It seems the problem was a bit more widespread than we anticipated — Following a recent lawsuit brought before Amazon.com regarding the Kindle 2’s screens being prone to cracking, the company has released a press release stating that they will in fact replace cracked screens absolutely free.

If you are familiar with Amazon’s policy, they previously charged a $200 fee for the same repair. Perhaps Apple can learn a thing or two from Amazon.3

It seems that Kopin Corporation have managed to create what they are calling the world’s smallest VGA LCD display. At just 0.27-inches, I’m not arguing, but the fact that this little guy has a resolution of 600×480 makes this a true breakthrough.

But why? Well, prior to this manufacturers haven’t been able to cram that many pixels into such a small display. In fact, the pixels used are about the size of a human’s red blood cell, now that’s small! Kopin also noted that they are working towards creating a 2048×2048 display no larger than a postage stamp.

Why you would ever need such a small display to display such a high definition picture, I don’t know, but it sure is cool.

Samsung is proud to announce their newest AMOLED display that features a WVGA resolution of 800 x 600, 4 times more clarity than your average display and 300 pixels per inch.

The South Korean manufacturer is also touting this display as consuming less power while sporting improved brightness. Sounds like my kind of display.

There is currently no word on when these beautiful displays will actually be available in market-ready handsets but lets hope its sooner rather than later.

Multitouch capacitive displays are heading to netbooks and notebooks and we’re anxiously waiting for them. EETI will begin shipping 7- and 12-inch versions in the second half of the year. Manufacturers will have all the time in the world to play with them and we should expect them to arrive in netbooks and notebooks next year after CES 2010. Interested?

Here’s an invention we felt it was coming. The flexible touchscreen display in the picture above is the result of a joint adventure between ASU’s Flexible Display Center and the military. The display was designed mainly for military applications and it’s made out of really strong glass able to survive the battle. The glass isn’t solid glass but it’s made from a special material from DuPont Tijin Films. The display is really thin and it will bend without damaging the gadgets. The device comes with E-ink Corp technology which will let you write, store and erase content easily. ASU says this technology will be available in about 18 months and it’s probably going straight to the military.

Marking extraordinary leap in display technology, Casio has announced a two-inch display that features 960×540 resolution. What this means is that there are 546 pixels per inch supporting 16.8 million colors. By comparison, those seven-inch portable media players feature 800×480 resolution LCDs.

The Casio display uses a proprietary Hyper Amorphous Silicon TFT (HAST) LCD. They are yet to hit mass production, but damn, I can’t wait to see what they can do with four inches!

I have to tell you I like what I see here. First impression always counts a lot when making a choice, so I would definitely give this Shuffle XP19 touchscreen LCD a try. Sure I’d need Windows 7 or any kind of OS supporting touchscreens but I’d still give it a try. Mainly because it looks good. Let’s see what I think about it after we go through it’s specs!
