Samsung and LG show prototypes of flexible displays
Samsung’s OLED display can be both backward and forward bending .
Samsung and LG have at the fair Flat Panel Display International presented in the Japanese Chiba prototypes of flexible displays. The displays use different technologies, but which can be combined.
LG showed a E-PaperScreen with 19 inches, which can bend backward, without distorting text and image. Samsung presented a OLEDScreen that can be bent both forward and backward, and the image is still clean (see Video).
LG’s e-paper display is aimed at low-cost low-profile reader who may in future books and newspapers or even replace business documents. Samsung’s prototype was developed, however in view of the next generation of multimedia devices and computers.
OLEDs use a completely different technology than is used today LCDs. Liquid crystal displays have a separate background lighting that illuminates the display from behind and so is the pictures. In OLED screens light up each pixel on its own if it is live. For this reason, it is possible to produce OLED displays much thinner, making them flexible again.

Intel CEO says to fight the iPad
Intel’s platform for Oak Trail Tablets.
Intel CEO Paul Otellini has the call to the most recent quarterly results used to Apple’s iPad to praise 鈥?and to announce that Intel is willing to conquer this market segment. The unusually strong words gave the impression that the Intel Tablet sector seriously enough has not taken before.
‘I know that everyone asks secretly, such as Intel responds to the new computer areas in which it has no presence, especially tablets. We find Tablets exciting and welcome their presence. Apple has done a wonderful job to this category of “revitalize,” said Otellini. “Will they have an impact on the sales of PCs? Certainly, in a border region that will probably be the case.”
Otellini then went to a business implications of: “We will use all means available to us to capture this segment.” It will in the coming months and quarters, “a series of products provide,” as the Windows operating system, Android or MeeGo used – “in a number of sizes and at different prices.”
A similar change in the market have found Intel, than it was three years netbooks came up, “said Otellini. “In the last three years is, both the PC and the netbook has grown considerably. We believe that it will be similar with Tablets.”
With regard to the Atom processor, the Intel Tablets provides for, said the Intel CEO, “we have with Oak Trail a good semiconductor “the” full multitasking “dominant. For business customers the opportunity was important to use Windows. This would have the Intel chips to their strengths.
According to Otellini, Intel is also 3G and 4G mobile communications, for example, UMTS and LTE, its nuclear-platform integrated in. The technology, the company had with Infineon’s wireless division acquired in August .

Green power semiconductor industry will play an important role in innovation
Now that the global financial crisis may be over too soon, but the financial markets and the economy seems to have made progress and hope to restore economic stability and growth. The current economic environment, the value of the business comes from selling your innovative ideas and solutions from the past is more the product of small profits. Clearly, those who succeed in today’s business market must be committed to innovation and customer services. Now many companies are speeding up research and development, the goal is to market new products as soon as possible, even though these new products, customers now may not be large.
Rising energy costs make it the green power generated great interest. Users can now also understand that the data center or base stations and other large facilities, energy costs can match with the device itself. Therefore, users are now more concerned about energy efficiency, more concerned with the overall solution cost, not just a simple component cost.
Hybrid or electric vehicle to the direction of the engineers brought many new opportunities. All the next generation of vehicles will use lithium-ion batteries, compared with existing battery technology, lithium has a higher energy density, and the design of sophisticated battery management system can make lithium-ion battery performance and life to achieve a huge leap forward. In addition, hybrid and electric cars also electric solution in lieu of the mechanical or hydraulic system, which requires electronic products can withstand the harsh automotive environment, when the vehicle stalled, the low quiescent current can reduce power consumption, and wide input range in order to prevent cold-crank and load dump when the voltage transients.
Concern in hybrid and electric vehicles at the same time, also requires a lot of traditional automotive electronics improvements. Initially used for status indication LED lighting, and then the tail lights, new high power LED is now used for automobile headlights. LED lighting power consumption advantage is many times less than regular incandescent, but life up to 5 million hours. Although car manufacturers are now facing severe challenges of the market environment, but our customers tell us that the number of new cars and electronic products will continue to increase, and will pay more attention to energy efficiency and reliability. For these reasons, the auto market is still the focus of Linear Technology’s areas of concern.
Interest in green power also led to new ways to solve old problems. The environment around us there are a lot of energy, has been the traditional method is to use solar panels and wind turbines to collect this energy, but now use of the environment and even small differences in temperature to convert the vibration energy (low-power products for storage or use) of the new products are emerging. These products can be placed in their own work in remote areas, do not rely on batteries or wires, the energy can be stored in supercapacitors, which is between traditional capacitors and batteries of new niche markets. Compared with batteries, supercapacitors can be smaller in size to provide higher peak power, a longer charge cycle life, while providing a wider temperature range.
As you can see, no shortage of Linear Technology’s innovative product design ideas. Our engineers face the challenge of understanding and determine the future needs of our customers and inspire their future new product design. The current focus on green power opens up many product areas, although this in itself can not solve the world’s energy needs, but be sure, the semiconductor industry will play a key role.
