TECHNICAL SEMINAR ON ROLLTOP LAPTOPS
[attachment=56060]
INRODUCTION:
Laptops are continuously changing. From the compelling components, various applications and thinner designs; to the memory storage, Wi-Fi capabilities and television viewing; they’ve come a long way from the first bulky home computers, and evolved into a fashionable trend.
Advancements in technology have led to more precise touch screens, longer range of wireless connections, and more compact devices capable of streaming video and audio while providing driving directions to any location within the network, simultaneously.
German designer, Evgeny Orkin thinks he has found the answer with his Roll top concept. “The main goal was to combine the laptop monitor and graphic tablet into one gadget and avoid additional accessories,” he explains. He continued to say that consumers have the option to buy a computer and a graphic tablet with a touchscreen separately, but they are not able to use them as one laptop.
INCONVENIENCE IN CARRYING LAPTOPS:
ORKIN says:
“The main problem is that the laptop has two levels – the level you can write on and the level you look at. With two separate planes, the entire screen cannot be utilized because the fold will hinder you,” Orkin says.
Another problem with modern day laptops is the many accessories and gadgets that accompany them. Even with the smaller designs, big bags are required to carry everything around, which can cause inconvenience and discomfort.
ORKIN’S idea:
Orkin thought of the roll-up laptop when working on his thesis for school. He was interning at Schlagheck-Design in Germany under the direction of Julian Schlagheck, who specializes in product design, print design and product development. He also received guidance from Professor Peter Naumann of the University of Applied Science in Munich, and Georg Trost, Former designer of Fujitsu-Siemens Computers.
PROPOSITION:
Rolltop is not a "virtual and futuristic" gadget, existing only on the screen of your computer as in the most of similar concepts and visions! Most of the existing design concepts usually have been developed without any deep technologic and ergonomic elaboration and often could be difficult or even impossible realized. From the beginning Rolltop has been developed as a real future product. During its development a lot of different scenarios (e.g. usability, functionality etc.) were simulated. Moreover we have included in Rolltop the best worldwide ergonomic, mechanic and electronic practices.
TECHNOLOGY:
The device of the flexible display allows a new concept in notebook design growing out of the traditional "bookformed" laptop into unfurling and convolving portable computer. Rolltop incorporates both latest high-tech devices and a new brand design techniques into a computer that will increase the quality and productivity of the designers work. On top of everything else no laptop bag needed - all computer utilities from an interactive pen through power supply to the holding belt are integrated in Rolltop. This is really an all-in-one gadget.
COMPONENTS:
Most of the components for the Rolltop already exist within the modern day designs such as the main board, processor, memory (flash), working memory, etc.
The Rolltop does not have a CD/DVD reader or Floppy disc because [they’re obsolete]. Other components, such as the loudspeaker, Internet, web cam, USB ports and power supply are based in the cylinder in which the screen would roll around.
ROLLTOP LAPTOP DISPLAY:
The screen used is an OLED display. Imagine having a high-definition TV that is 80 inches wide and less than a quarter-inch thick, consumes less power than most TVs on the market today and can be rolled up when you're not using it. What if you could have a "heads up" display in your car? How about a display monitor built into your clothing? These devices may be possible in the near future with the help of a technology called organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs).
BRINGING ROLLTOP TO MARKET:
The Rolltop’s success hinges on the utilization of OLED Technology, or organic light emitting diode. This technology would be the main component of the laptop’s monitor. It is tough, flexible and energy saving. “All these qualitites are very important to me,” explains Orkin. “Flexible to roll it, tough to draw on it, and energy saving to have a smaller battery than what is already being implemented.”
ALL IN ONE ROLLTOP LAPTOP:
This newly designed laptop uses flexible Oled display on the panel and keyboard.
• Uses flexible Oled display on the panel and keyboard
• It replaces the conventional physical keyboard so the 13" laptop transforms into the graphics tablet with its 17" flatscreen
• Its a new concept in notebook design with a flexible display
• The Oled-Display technology has a multi touch screen
• All computer utilities from power supply thgough the holding belt to an interactive pen are integrated into this rolltop
• The shutter also incorporates the system's hardware itself
• The wireless station can recharge the PC which provides two USB ports for connecting peripherals.
STRUCTURE OF ROLLTOP:
Imagine a laptop so portable, you could roll it up like a yoga mat and carry it tucked under your arm with an attached strap. Now you don’t have to imagine; this is the concept behind the Rolltop laptop from Orkin Design.
The Rolltop laptop incorporates energy-efficient flexible OLED technology and a multi-touchscreen.
As you unroll it, you get a laptop with a 13-inch screen. Flattened out, it becomes a graphics tablet for use with the enclosed stylus pen. On the back the Rolltop laptop is a stand that can be pulled out into a 17-inch display for viewing videos. A webcam, loudspeaker and power/data supply are included in the core cylinder.
Imagine if you could roll up your laptop like a newspaper and open it when required, and what if you could turn your laptop into a primary monitor if you wanted to play some awesome video games.
Well all these are possible with the cool new conceptual ROLL TOP Laptop concept, which is being touted as a Future Designer Laptop. Orkin Design has unveiled this cool new concept with the support of Schlagheck-Design and the device comes with a flexible display which can be rolled and carried wherever you want. This goes beyond the traditional book like laptops which are cumbersome to say the least.
