Empowering display industry professionals with cutting-edge insights and analysis
A more efficient way to transport electrical charge has been discovered by a team of researchers. Led by David Barbero of Sweden’s Umeå University, it was discovered that semiconducting polymers, placed on a layer of graphene, transport electrical charge more efficiently than when placed on a silicon substrate. When placed on a graphene substrate, there … Read more
Crocus Technology, based in Switzerland, has developed a sensor solution for flexible displays, built on its Magnetic Logic Unit (MLU) technology. MLU is a CMOS-based architecture using magnetic fields. The new solution can detect the position and shape of flexible 2D surfaces. Crocus envisions it being applied to flexible shape-sensor foils in displays and solar … Read more

Heraeus has partnered with DaeHa Mantech of Korea to develop dry heat and UV antistatic and conductive materials. The new materials will be marketed under the name of Clevios F DH (based on PEDOT:PSS). Clevios F DH materials are intended for temperature-sensitive substrates. The formulations have lower drying times and improved temperature stability when used … Read more
Following last week’s announcement that Hon Hai Precision and Innolux are to set-up a joint venture 6G panel production plant in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, it has emerged that the panels will be used in Apple’s products (Display Monitor Vol 21 No 46). The new plant is expected to begin operations in April 2016 with a monthly … Read more
Imagination Technologies has said that it is working on coherent interconnect technology; this would enable Imagination’s newest multicore MIPS processors to be combined with ‘large arrays’ of its PowerVR GPUs. The intent is to enable the company’s IP customers to create chips that would directly compete with Nvidia’s Kepler and Maxwell devices. “As we go … Read more
New GPU IP has been introduced by Imagination Technologies. PowerVR Series7 range from 16 to 32 (Series7XE) and up to 512 (Series7XT) arithmetic logic unit (ALU) cores. The GPUs feature full hardware virrtualisation and Android Extension Pack (AEP) support, with hardware tesselation. Each GPU includes features including geometry shaders; PowerVR triple compression (PVR3C) 364 for … Read more
