Sony's connected BRAVIA HDTVs score Netflix streaming, PS3 left in the cold

partnership posts



Just under a year ago, we heard that the relatively unknown Cavalier (bizarre slogan and all) was looking to make a dent in the Hampton Roads, Virginia TV market. Not sure what all went wrong there, but now it's looking to television mainstay DirecTV to help it get things off the ground. The company will be offering locals the shot at a Triple Play package, with the high-speed internet and digital phone service coming directly from Cavalier and the TV service coming from DirecTV. We're told that this C3 bundle could save customers upwards of $240 per year compared to similar packages, but we'd definitely call 'em up and run the numbers before jumping in blind.
If you're setting out to develop PHOLED (phosphorescent OLED) technology, it can't hurt to have friends in the chemical industry, which explains why Universal Display and Korean company SFC have become industrial BFFs. The two companies have agreed to jointly develop and commercialize those super-efficient PHOLED materials that our HD-loving eyes will want to have in displays if we're to soak up visuals without putting the planet in meltdown. Universal Display will help SFC with non-emitter materials and in return, SFC will transfer "certain existing phosphorescent" materials to Universal Display. Sounds good to us, and we're hoping to see Universal Display's numerous industrial partnerships to pay off in the form of tangible tech soon.
