Here’s an app that allows you to virtually join together multiple screens of any kind on any device running any OS and make those screens sync to display one single large image. It’s called Junkyard Jumbotron

Created by Rick Borovoy at MIT’s Center for Future Civic Media, Junkyard Jumbotron is a super cool tool as it requires no software installation and you can make a large display almost instantly anywhere. All you need is a web browser.

To setup the Junkyard Jumbotron, you arrange the screens as desired and then display a web-page with a QR code on each of them; snap a picture and send it back to the server and the server takes any image you feed it and splits it across the screens.

Hit the jump for a video demo of how Junkyard Jumbotron works. It’s just awesome!

Samsung Mobile Display has showcased what seems to be the first ever Samsung Galaxy Tab with a 7″ Super AMOLED screen. According to OLED-Display, this 7″ screen capable of displaying 1200×600 pixels which is slightly more than the current 1024×600 pixels that we get from the current TFT-LCD Galaxy Tab.

Do note that this is just a prototype on display by Samsung Mobile Display at FPD International 2010. It is unknown whether Samsung will release such version for the Galaxy Tab but this demonstrates Samsung’s capability of making such display. Other interesting products on showcase also includes a flexible 4.5″ AMOLED display with 800×480 resolution.

With HTC announcing its switch to Sony’s Super LCD display, many are wondering how does Super LCD compare to AMOLED? Howard forums had recorded a video to compare LCD (Motorola Droid/Milestone), Super LCD (HTC Desire), AMOLED (Nexus One) and Super AMOLED (Samsung Wave) displays.

Overall, the Super LCD is very similar to AMOLED display unless it is viewed sideways where the AMOLED reign supreme. Contrast for the Super LCD still loses out to AMOLED display but it is barely noticeable. HTC did mentioned that using Super LCD will give “better” battery life compared to AMOLED but so far we haven’t heard anything that proves this.

Check out the video after the jump to see it for yourself.
