LG Display has started mass production of flexible OLED light panels at its Gen 5 (1.1 x 1.25m panels) plant in Gumi, Korea. At the same time, it launched ‘Luflex’, a brand for OLED lighting panels. The Gen 5 line will initially produce 15,000 sheets per month – a ~30-fold increase as compared to the previous ...

Artificial intelligence has been used crack one of the codes originally deciphered in the 1940s at Bletchley Park. It took just 13 minutes and cost £10. And involved a computer recognise German, from a standing start. A company called Enigma Pattern did it by combining machine learning and artificial intelligence, running its algorithms on cloud servers ...

LEDs can replace mass-market high power UV light sources, according to a German research team coordinated by Osram. The optical outputs are expected to be: >20mW at 300±10nm >140mW at 280±10nm >80mW at 260±10nm One of the project aims is to make sources that are sufficiently long-lived to replace mercury-based sources in production, disinfection, life ...

The causes of energy-wasting ‘three-electron scattering’ have been quantified in silicon carbide devices, as far as Mitsubishi and the University of Tokyo can tell. Factors limiting resistance under SiC interface “Although it has been recognised that electron scatting under the SiC interface is limited by three factors, namely, the roughness of the SiC interface, the ...

AMS has created a full-colour sensor that matches eye response with RGB, adds special blue sensors for 440nm and 490nm, and another for near-infra-red. Called AS7264N, it is a “tri-stimulus sensor which provides measurements of colour that closely match the human eye’s response to the visible light spectrum,” said the firm. “The sensor also accurately ...

Lattice Semi has announced 60Ghz modules with built-in phased array antennas for links up to 300m – in cities for example. Designed for point-to-point and point-to-multi-point operation, and branded GigaRay, the firm is demonstrating the modules in a complete terminal weighing less than 1kg. The modules are in pairs, together called MOD65412, based on technology ...
