In a series of benchmarking tests, Hexus has determined that Nvidia’s new Titan X GPU (Titan X: A Low-Cost Answer to Titan Z) is capable of driving UltraHD content at very high frame rates (from 84fps to 111fps, on average) when used in an SLI configuration. In fact, using the card for anything other than … Read more
Images that are claimed to display Apple’s much-rumoured large iPad Pro show the tablet with two ports. The images, from Dutch website Vandaag Apple, show an opening on the side of the tablet that looks very similar to a USB-C port. The usual leaked image disclaimers apply.

Silver nanowires are one option to replace ITO as a conductive material in displays – they are lower-cost and flexible – but research has been limited due to a lack of understanding about their mechanical properties. Horacio Espinosa is a researcher at Northwestern University in the USA, and has led an examination into nanowires’ behaviour. … Read more
Barco has again supplied display equipment to China Central Television’s Spring Festival Galaxy. The show, which was broadcast on 19th February (the eve of Chinese New Year), used eight HDF-W26 projectors. It was Barco’s 11th Gala.
US/Taiwan-based Light Polymers has developed a lyotropic liquid crystal material (CR006) that can be coated on substrates, or directly onto OLED panel glass, to improve the contrast and readability of OLED displays. The reflective transistors driving OLED displays can cause lower contrast in bright environments. Traditionally, a linear polariser and quarter-wave plate are added on … Read more
A new super-thin product has been added to Canatu’s range of transparent, conductive carbon nanobud films. The device is just 23µm thick, and targets thin devices and flexible applications. Canatu claims that it has less than 0.2% haze. The film is more than 50% thinner than Canatu’s other products, enabling one-layer touch at 23µm and … Read more
