For retail labelling, E Ink has developed a display that operates in freezers.
Called Aurora, it works down to -25°C, and has been optimised to work at 5V.
“Aurora has been tuned for non-eReader applications, and is ideal for electronic shelf labels and smart cards in retail, medical…
E Ink will go into production with flexible displays this year, using thin-film transistor backplanes developed by Sony.
Called Mobius “displays can weigh less than 50% of the weight of an equivalent glass-based TFT. A 13.3in display weighs approximately 60g,” said E Ink.
The companies have worked…
Osram is to develop glare-free adaptive headlights, where modulating multiple LED die within a headlight allows the shape of its beam to be varied in response to data from forward-facing cameras in the vehicle.
Low-beams that adapt with vehicle speed are another aspect: at high speed the…
Toshiba has finalised a technology collaborative agreement with LED lighting device manufacturer Bridgelux. Originally announced in April, the collaborative agreement will see the companies transfer Bridgelux’s gallium nitride (GaN) on silicon technology assets to Toshiba.
The GaN-on-Silicon LED collaboration will also include a licensing and manufacturing supply…
Cambridge Nanotherm is to build its first prototype manufacturing plant in Haverhill, UK following the award of £250,000 in matched funding from the UK Innovation Agency – Technology Strategy Board (TSB).
Cambridge Nanotherm has developed and patented a nanoceramic-aluminum substrate for thermal management of electronics, which can be used…
This year, the market size for high brightness (HB) LEDs is expected to reach $12bn and grow to $20.2bn by 2015. One application area driving this growth is the use of LEDs in backlight of TFT-LCDs, writes Tony Armstrong (pictured), director of product marketing for power products at…
