Ink screen PC display has been released

With the Kindle’s hot in recent years, electronic ink screen gradually occupied part of the display of interactive life, ink screen, although the display screen is not cool, but the industry has specializing in the text for the display category can be described as work Is the middle of the ink screen can effectively simulate the book we read.

Ink screen itself can not shine, but it also created a small advantage on the eye radiation. Both LCD and OLED are light sources, will have radiation on the eyes, resulting in long-term use of fatigue characteristics. Ink screen compared to the traditional display Another advantage is that it is easy to read, looks closer to the printed text, and the physical book is a major drawback of the paper is too thin, prone to read through, but the ink screen will not.

Recently received a new ink-screen computer monitors listed, that is well-known channel from abroad, Indiegogo presented on the display of the Paperlike-like display, which claims to be the world’s first electronic ink computer monitor, with only a USB cable can be achieved Data show that no additional power supply, its manufacturer was actually a little known domestic technology companies. d2d-3104

Ink screen to make the eyes more relaxed

Ink screen to make the eyes more relaxed. The recent ink screen product resolution is gradually referred to the retina level, power saving is a major feature of the ink screen, due to the characteristics of the principle, the time to read the text is not power, only when the page refresh power consumption , So the mobile device life will be very long.

Although from the functional point of view, ink screen monotonous than ordinary LCD products, the use of the basic can only be used to read books or codewords, but from the text of the interactive feeling, or ink screen effect is good for a long time to use. For those who need to deal with the text for a long time, the demand for ink screen can be further excavated. b3u-1000p-b

Although the market has a lot of ink screen products, but because the cost is too high, has not been popular, the ink screen is said to occupy 45% of the cost of the product, the same size, almost and LCD panel costs. At the same cost, consumers are more inclined to have a more versatile use of traditional LCD display, so the next step ink screen manufacturers need to do is to reduce costs, the development of user pain points to grasp the new products, ink screen display is just the beginning.

Users in the mobile phone after the fall conference, ushered in the Apple iPhone and Samsung Note the new phone. Samsung in order to be able to dance with Apple on the same stage, but also skip the naming rules of 6, directly from the name to upgrade to 7.

“Hiss” ring iPhone 7 series phones and “a word” to the explosion of the Note 7 mobile phone, after the fall conference after the peak season, and finally “surprised at first sight” of the market. These two currently represent the top-level handsets in both the ISO and Android camps, and despite their small footprint, are still leading the way in terms of stand-alone shipments, representing the industry’s most advanced process technology Research and development and the most powerful supply chain management level.

In addition to Apple announced that its first iPhone 7 series mobile phone within a few days has been completely sold out, Samsung in less than a month and re-organized 500,000 new battery Note 7 to the United States, more than 90% of the Note 7 users choose a new, direct refund of less than 10%, which is less than 50,000 people. This ratio for a total recall of 1 million, the US market, the Samsung Note 7 is still very successful. Note 7 Due to the battery accident, 2.5 million cell phones with quality problems need to be recalled from the market.

Apple and Samsung have adopted a lot of innovative technologies in new phones, such as Apple’s A10 computer chip, imitation glass metal case, with AI learning extension of the “dual camera” camera, with W1 chip wireless headset, active waterproof Functions such as Samsung’s iris recognition, “three defenses”, flexible surface display, double-curved cover glass, S PEN underwater operation. Two leading mobile phone brands, in the smart phone technology, have reached the current industry’s highest level. 7201k2zge

However, as a pioneer in the development of technology, Apple and Samsung have to bear the product defects brought about by the market risk. Which Samsung Note 7 battery explosion, so that Samsung had to recall the use of the same batch has hidden batteries of 2.5 million mobile phones, can be described as heavy losses.

Samsung’s Note 7 phone, due to the use of double-curved cover glass, to control the weight of the phone made more stringent requirements. Although Samsung has adopted a thinner flexible AMOLED display, significantly reducing the weight of the touch display module, but Samsung did not give up to optimize the weight of their mobile phone control. Industry analysis, Samsung in order to limited space, enhance the capacity of the battery, some models sold in Europe and America, using the latest battery separator technology to produce thinner battery separator, so that the battery performance better.

However, it is this technology upgrade, so that Samsung’s battery in the assembly process, the need for more precise process tolerance control measures. Samsung itself also said that if the battery assembly process, subject to unexpected pressure squeeze, resulting in deformation of the battery separator thickness, it is likely to change the spacing between the electrodes in the battery is full or overcharge caused when the breakdown short-circuit, causing fire Explosion.

However, in the Note 7 for the full dismantling and analysis, there are mobile phone industry practitioners, Samsung Note 7 in other designs, but also to the battery more harsh use of the environment. “Samsung is also in order to improve the performance of the CPU to the CPU to increase the heat of a piece, but the root piece directly attached to the battery and the metal in the box, is equivalent to the CPU High temperature heat directly to the battery, once the user runs the phone at high load, heat will soon be gathered to the battery. 74435572200

He said that Samsung uses double-curved glass cover design, because the thermal conductivity of glass itself is now only one hundredth of the popular aluminum alloy body, thermal efficiency is poor, leading to Samsung’s battery is always in a high temperature environment. “And Samsung’s wireless charging sensor is also in the battery above, in the charging state of the battery with the charge sensor heat generated are not easily transmitted out.”

According to his analysis, Samsung should also take into account the impact of this area, so the user does not replace the new machine before the recall of hidden mobile phone, through the remote lock to limit the battery charge capacity of about 60% to avoid Charging and intense operation, the battery capacity is too high and lead to security incidents. “Samsung, like Apple, the components of the integration done very high, the motherboard as small as possible, the distance between the components are very close, so the limited space, the work of the energy components to disperse to go out very test Their design capability. ”

I do not know is not a coincidence, the market also verified the analysis of the industry. South Korea Herald Tribune reported that South Korea started the replacement of 100,000 after the implementation of replacement mobile phone after the new battery problems still exist. Samsung’s after-sales department found that some users get a new phone charging is easy to overheat, when the phone’s charging circuit to start the protection mechanism, the new Note 7 mobile phone power will quickly run out.

Apple’s new machine market, also encountered some of the risks brought about by technological innovation. Mentioned earlier, some users to buy the iPhone 7 mobile phone will be in high-load operation, A10 near the main chip came the “hissing” noise. Apple on this issue, although not given a specific explanation, but the mobile phone peer has been found from some of the Doubt.

Apple in order to hide the user has been criticized the antenna “leucorrhea” problem, not only redesigned the phone’s metal case, but also enhanced the phone’s antenna design. “But Apple still retains the 3D pressure on the new machine touch function, during charging or high-speed operation, baseband chip noise, functional chip noise, display and battery power management device noise, it is easy to be capacitive touch snesor sensor And pressure-sensitive snesor sensors to capture and amplify.And Apple has adopted a different from the traditional analog signal pure digital signal-driven audio program, it is not clear how Apple is dealing with its audio noise correction, it is difficult to say that the cries “The noise has nothing to do with Apple’s current structure.”

Apple and Samsung released the information are said that the next generation models will be introduced into the 3D surface double cover glass program. From the current two models revealed the information displayed on the show, Apple and Samsung are looking forward to the next generation models, all the components, are completely coated in the glass inside.

In order to achieve this effect, cover glass manufacturers in addition to overcome the difficulty of the current 3D processing bottlenecks, but also need to overcome the more optical coating technology. There are sources, Apple and Samsung are required to provide cover glass manufacturers can directly on the glass cover the processing of the camera lens optical layer to replace the current camera blue glass, reduce the glass digging holes.

At the same time in order to strengthen the strength of glass or thermal conductivity, to the glass cover composite materials of other technology has also attracted the attention of Samsung and Apple. “At least on the back of the glass, it is possible to integrate the metal frame layers of the various antennas and glue them directly onto the inner surface of a moderately thick glass cover,” said the source. “It is possible to solve the two Signal with battery problem. “

In recent years, India vigorously subsidy LED bulb replacement, hoping LED lighting policy to reduce dependence on imported energy. India Power Energy recently pointed out, the second half of 2016 LED bulbs daily shipments will reach one million by 2018 will be fully replaced by LED bulbs, the overall size of about 770 million, has become a war zone the global LED lighting market.

As a high-potential emerging markets, the Indian market has become the focus of many LED enterprises compete. Recently, Philips Lighting in LED Bulb tenders Indian government disclosure, resorted to “price Shazhao” with a price of just 0.57 dollars (about 3.8 yuan) of 9W LED bulb participate in the tender. The price is higher than the earlier bid price in March this year, 30.8% lower. It is foreseeable that Philips Shazhao prices will increase the degree of competition in the Indian market. smbd-101

Although the demand for LED lighting products in India jumped, but Philips, Osram and other international lighting giants have used the “price war” to seize the market, leading to the Indian market LED prices drop rapidly, China LED enterprise layout Indian market will face significant competitive pressure .

India’s favorable policies, LED lighting market potential

The global economy is still in the doldrums, the rapid economic growth in India has become a bright spot. India’s leading lighting products currently used or inefficient GLS, and other products, the implementation of the Government of India under the “efficient lighting plan” and India “State street plan” policy, India’s LED lighting market showing rapid growth, in 2015 the market scale reached 924 million US dollars in 2016 LED lighting market will reach 1.14 billion dollars, an annual growth of 47.1%, estimated in 2020 will rise to $ 1.715 billion. With the Indian domestic market rising, Make in India the concept of chance, such as zero tariff will bring more business opportunities for lighting manufacturers. 54hc123

With the Indian government intends to fight the East Asia and the Gulf States, India create lighting products export hub, Osram, Toshiba and other international companies have India as a production base for the global market, so the Indian LED lighting market in domestic and external demand is huge, next two to three the market will grow rapidly.

For today’s LED industry, although the Chinese market is a big cake, the view of the overcapacity and price competition, open up new markets is still very necessary. India, as a high-potential emerging markets, has attracted many of the world’s leading manufacturers started to attack, and as the next production base. Not only because China – India preferential tariff policy, but also because of its own market “feel good” of stimulation, China LED companies is also being accelerated layout Indian market.

China LED companies competing layout, product exports surge in India every year

Currently, the Indian government is strongly promote the popularity of LED energy-saving lamps, including government buildings, street lights and the general public to promote LED energy-saving lamps to promote family package at the beginning of this year, Moody’s announced the Prime Minister. “Package” plan quietly landing, which is bound to quickly pulled LED lighting market demand, the future of the Indian LED lighting market with a bright future.

India’s huge market potential has attracted many companies competing lighting layout. Although the international LED lighting giant price powerful offensive, but OFweek semiconductor lighting network Xiaobian opinion, China LED companies cost-competitive, is conducive to seize business opportunities in the Indian market. By 2015, LED packaging Linsen hand in leading Taiwan-based LED crystal grains leading power in the Indian joint venture set up factories, and gradually enter the Indian local winning tenderer LED components supply chain.

In addition, Foshan lighting, country star power, Hongli Opto-electronic and other LED manufacturers are also actively layout LED lighting market in India, due to the lighting standard case of Indian companies bidding must meet revenue, production scale and manufacturing capacity requirements, and about 5 to procurement cases will be provided to local lED factory, which is expected to drive Chinese lED manufacturers and local manufacturers in India to India to invest and build factories or allied boom.

Today, Chinese enterprises gradually open the LED lighting market in India, and the surge in exports year by year occupation of the market. According to Chinese customs data that, 2011–2015, China’s LED lighting products to India’s total export growth has been in a state of rapid growth. 2015 China total exports of India LED lighting products for $ 200 million, representing an increase of 42.1% over the same period in 2014. And the data show that from January to December 2015, India LED lighting products in importing countries, with China accounting for 75.4% of imports in the first row.

Opportunities and challenges, companies must develop appropriate strategies

LED industry development in India has been the Indian government’s support, the government issued a series of dimensions from various policies to support the development of the whole industry, the core of which is the Indian National street plan (SLNP) and India Efficient Lighting Program (DELP), which public works tenders two projects also covers the current one-third of the local market.

In order to promote the popularity of LED lighting products, the Government of India in the official standard case continue to drive down the price of the product, but also continuous improvement of LED product specifications, resulting in LED profit space is very limited, for manufacturers, business opportunities and challenges.

Currently, the Indian LED lighting market in the early growth stage, local supply chain is not complete, although India has a certain number of assembly, design and manufacture of LED lighting company, but the LED chips and LED packaging all rely on imports, some large-scale LED lighting companies and even directly from Chinese imports of finished or assembled their own purchase semi-finished products from China; small businesses become more dependent on imports. The next two years, although the Indian government will continue to encourage domestic manufacturing of lighting products over-reliance on imports will improve the situation, but in the absence of the upstream industry chain in a short time is difficult to change the situation.

In the downstream part of the lighting, the presence of a small number of local Indian lighting manufacturers with a certain scale, the Indian government on the policy and market opportunities are vigorously support these companies. In addition to local companies, as well as Philips, Osram, Panasonic and other international companies are local camp a long time, Chinese companies to enter the local lighting market is not easy. So we should choose four-pronged strategy, government relations strategy, channel strategy, product strategy, etc. to enter the local market strategy analysis, identify their own position, before they can successfully won a place in the huge potential of the Indian lighting market.

September 21, 2016, Beijing – Recently, Intel and South Korea’s SK Telecom signed a memorandum of cooperation, both sides will be networked device Web for real-time communication was (Web Real Time Communication, called WebRTC) technical cooperation, and publish application of the technology development Kit to accelerate the development of global networking equipment market.

W3C WebRTC is based on open standards and is supported web browser technology in real-time audio and video communication, after application of the technology, the browser may not require plug-ins for video communications, voice communications, and share data. In all interconnected trends, real-time communication functionality to mobile or networking device that allows users anywhere in the world can be unimpeded cross-regional voice and video calls, so from intelligent transportation, telemedicine, was networking, to online education, business video conferencing, to Internet banking, and through WebRTC technology, allows video communication, sharing voice communications, as well as data, applications WebRTC unlimited potential.

As South Korea’s top mobile carrier, SK Telecom has been working to enhance the user experience. Smart interconnected generation between your phone and how various non-mobile voice communications terminal equipment for video to enhance the user experience, WebRTC become a key technology. Intel IA architecture of computing power and leadership in the field based on WebRTC, SK Telecom and Intel signed a memorandum of cooperation, the two sides will focus on three areas of cooperation:?

For example, NEXCOM Co. for enterprise customers video tools “in e played” (ToGazer), Beijing Ocean Technology Co., Ltd. in Guangzhou on broadcasting and education video and audio solutions, and real-time Iqiyi interactive video communication services are based on WebRTC for Intel? cooperative communication development kit to achieve. The depth of cooperation with South Korea’s SK Telecom is the WebRTC technology to expand the field of IOT.

We may unlock from the real true power of quantum computing is still far, but the D-Wave through its commitment to significantly upgrade the quantum processor let us taste a taste of the future.

When it is released early next year, the Canadian company’s new chip will be able to handle 2000 quantum quantum bits of data (qubits), almost the existing D-Wave 2X system twice the number of processors available, but will be better than the previous generation product processing speed 1000 times faster.

D-Wave machine are millions of dollars worth of computers, which use “quantum transistors” to process the data, in addition to the use of liquid nitrogen to cool the tiny ring of niobium to absolute zero. Only a few places in the use of this system, including Google and Universities Space Research Association (Universities Space Research Association), Lockheed Martin (Lockheed Martin) and Los Alamos National Laboratory (Los Alamos National Laboratory). In addition, D-Wave also provides Cloud services allow users to access its quantum computer system. 38634-5108

Most of quantum computing is still in the theoretical stage, its main research how strange and counterintuitive way to develop a very powerful machine at the atomic level. For certain tasks, a quantum computer has the potential to be significantly more than the existing system is many times faster, and more energy efficient. But GM does not currently exist in the quantum computer, D-Wave systems with different atomic behavioral characteristics (such as entanglement and superposition state) to solve a series of difficult computational problems.

“We chose the direction of development is very rapid, almost every year the number of quantum bits will double.” D-Wave business development and strategic partnerships Colin Williams said.

Lift D-Wave quantum processor makes the system a bit closer to have the ability to challenge traditional computers, while new processor also supports adding new features (allows for more efficient operation). tda7580

“From internal testing, this is a very worthwhile thing. By using this feature we have accelerated 1000 times to solve those problems.” Cambridge CW TEC’s William says.

If you follow today’s computer analogy, then, D-Wave system is not a general-purpose computer.

D-Wave can do far more than any of you have requested a computing tasks, it is designed to deal with specific tasks (like unconstrained binary Optimized sampling and related issues). Such optimization issues can give a very simple example, you have to develop a plan of the house, it is possible to meet your ideal of conditions, details, but while keeping in your budget range.

D-Wave specific work a processor can execute can also be applied to a number of areas, particularly in the training of machine learning models.

However, the establishment of universal quantum computer enormous difficulties remain, there are several unsolved engineering problems before. UCL nanoelectronics and photonics chip Professor John Morton by past trends projections, forecast first-generation universal quantum computing processor will not appear until the 2030s.

John Morton mention just a calculator and words can not be called a computer, so the D-Wave systems can not be said to be a universal quantum computer. When “A calculator can solve many specific problems. A lot of people are using it, and you can use it in various industrial fields. Therefore, when D-Wave demonstrated a number of industrial applications can use their machines perhaps indeed it can be applied to the field, but it is still only a specific device only. ”

Although Google does not currently apply to the D-Wave machine learning system itself, but the credibility of D-Wave Processor (academics have been questioned) verified in a test last year, Google’s.

In Google’s experiment, when dealing with the same size as the amount of data required for D-Wave annealing time is several orders of magnitude less, the following figure shows the simulated annealing (SA), quantum Monte Carlo method and the D-Wave 2X in execution annealing operation time by comparing the results.

The experiment found that D-Wave 2X processor performing an operation similar to the conventional processor faster than 1 billion times, but Williams said that more importantly, it proves the feasibility of D-Wave chips in the future.

Experiments also show us the D-Wave 2X processor handling weak – strong cluster layout aspects of network problems several instances (see figure below). It is shown in three different size of network 295,490,945 qubits. Each cluster consists of an 8-bit quantum unit Chimera map. Orange dot is described by a strong local field of quantum bits, quantum bits blue-green dots represent the weak field. Blue lines represent magnetic coupling, the red line represents the strong anti-magnetic coupling. Note that since not all of the 1152 qubits are operational, the resulting image may appear irregular.

“The main results of this experiment is not entirely the speed increase, because in other classical algorithm can do better. This experiment shows that quantum tunneling is really happening in the D-Wave chip. This shows that even if the range of tunneling limited, it is still a useful calculation tool. ”

“Google, like us understand that when we make further chip more closely connected, the current well-run classical algorithms will soon complete failure.” Williams also mentioned.

D-Wave has been there from many investors to raise millions of dollars, investors including Goldman Sachs investment bank, In-Q-Tel (CIA Investment), Bezos Expeditions (Amazon founder Jeff Bezos) and BDC Capital , Harris & Harris Group and DFJ.

A machine capable of imitating human speech

D-Wave chip too specialized, but to restrict its usefulness, which is another critical perspective on the chip, however, Willams not agree with this view.

“That D-Wave single chip uses too, I do not agree with this view. In fact, this kind of chip in one area can be extended to more different areas,” he said.

Williams did not directly mention which companies in this way using the D-Wave chip, he said, this type of processor is used in business transactions to optimize the track, in the biological sciences to study how proteins are combined and build protein sequence filter to accurately detect every potential protein sequences, D-Wave chip, this application helps to improve the detection of terrorists lists security services, while also helping to develop AI and computer vision binary classifier.

However, the theoretical basis of D-Wave chip unsupervised machine learning, training data to provide a neural network, pattern recognition by machine learning. Williams believes, D-Wave processor will have a huge impact, Google may be able to explain the research interest in the art.

“We believe that this is the machine learning and AI machine optimal application case .D-Wave chip will make it possible for the field of machine learning, especially for the generation of unsupervised learning research, bring about a complete revolution,” he says .

“With this quantum chip, we will have the ability to solve challenging field of machine learning problems appearing earlier – ‘How to make unsupervised-forming machine learning can be effectively put into practice?’”

If we can solve these problems, you will be able to apply machine learning to achieve many incredible breakthrough. By training machine, you can make it generate new data from statistical terms, the new generation of data can be achieved with the data used to train the machine itself highly similar effect.

Williams predicted that the future of D-Wave chip can train a machine, for example by painting masters to train the machine, the machine is capable of generating new works have artistic value, or enable the machine to highly realistic imitation of the human voice.

D-Wave chip has been used in the machine learning experiments conducted to construct a kind of Boltzmann machine, a stochastic recurrent neural network can also be called “Quantum Boltzmann machine”, Willams said, “This species quantum Boltzmann machine is different from the previous machine learning models “in nature.

Williams believes, D-Wave chip, or other types of quantum processor will not replace some of the classics of computer chips, on the contrary, will be used together with these classic chip users.

“We believe that quantum computing will not replace the classic machines, this calculation method to change the world by strengthening the classic system”, Williams expressed.

For example, you can get a quantum computer’s output and will be used as input to a heuristic search algorithm. The key point is that quantum algorithms can help you get closer to not be able to find a good solution, a classic algorithm is able to contribute to ultimately find such a solution.

We can also choose a difficult problem from a number of pre-processing technology, the use of such a quantum chip this problem into a series of small problems.

Williams said that in addition to handling qubits 2000, D-Wave will be based on all the experience we have learned, the use of a new type of topology design a “next-generation chips.”

For more detailed information about the new D-Wave chip

For those professionals interested in the substance of the issue, Williams on 2,000 properties qubit chip made depth explanation.

Each designed to a D-Wave quantum annealing processor is used, the use of quantum physics knowledge to find a state of minimum energy consumption, which will help to solve optimization problems and related sample problem mentioned above. The new chip on how to more effectively control the annealing process, Williams also made a detailed explanation.

After reference Hamiltonian equation (in the state of a given system conditions, the use of this formula can output energy in the system), he said, “This new chip is not only capable of handling more qubits, we have to use it changed a lot of other features. using the previous D-Wave chip, we can only observe one kind of track annealing. currently, we can only do basic initial Hamiltonian closed loop, open loop Hamiltonian final. ”

Now use qubits capable of processing 2,000 chips, we will be able to better control parameters to control the trajectory.

We can use a lot of features abort the annealing process, and be able to quickly accelerate the process. It is no longer required at a constant rate of an annealing process.

It will be very interesting, because you can progress in the annealing process, the detection of quantum state, which is a quantum Boltzmann machine is a very important feature.

We also have a rapid thermal annealing previous generation system, it is possible to complete the operation within 20 microseconds annealing process. However, the use of our new system can be achieved in 5 microseconds to complete this operation.

The federal cabinet has the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) introduced Nanotechnology Action Plan adopted 2020th This has the aim, business and research to strengthen international – and at the same time to ensure a safe production of nanomaterials.

“Nanotechnology has long been our everyday lives. Your application, whether in medicine or in information technology brings us many benefits, such as the compatibility of implants. However, we need more research, because the potential of this technology has not been exhausted. At the same time we also need to keep potential risks in view of the technology continues to dominate safely, “said Federal Research Minister Johanna Wanka. Accordingly, the risk research for investigating effects of nanomaterials on human health and the environment will continue to play a central role. “We are looking for a public dialogue about the opportunities and risks of nanotechnology and expand,” said Vanka. udz8812

The “Nanotechnology Action Plan 2020 ‘aimed particularly at research-intensive small and medium enterprises that are active in the field of materials research and nanotechnology. This includes the training of skilled workers in the area. In addition, the BMBF intends to use internationally for a science-based and open use of nanotechnology. It is the third action plan of its kind after the Nanotechnology Action Plan 2015 and the original Nano-Initiative Action Plan of 2010.

The BMBF will provide around EUR 190 million for the promotion of nanotechnology available this year. Around 2,200 institutions and networks from industry, the service industry, science and organizations are currently active in the field of nanotechnology in Germany. Half of these players comes from the industry, 75% of which are small and medium enterprises. sma809

The action plan is part of the new high-tech strategy, which the federal government expresses the objective to promote innovation and to establish links between science and industry. An “Nanotechnology 2020″ next to the BMBF are the Federal Ministries of Labour and Social Affairs (BMAS), Food and Agriculture (BmEL), Health (BMG), Defence (MoD), Economy and Energy (BMWi) and for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Construction and Nuclear safety (BMUB) involved. Thus, should a strong linkages between public research funding, departmental research and regulatory activities be ensured.

In recent years, the evolution of the smart phone, PC, tablet PCs and other computing devices and not the past so fast, but they are a new way to promote innovation. For example, hardware vendors for chip performance slowdown largely responsible way to build custom chips for specific tasks.

PC and mobile phone hardware Why are “squeezing toothpaste”? The truth in this

Outside of Apple’s new iPhone 7 release early evaluation can be summed up in the word “boring boring.” Reviewer for a number of improvements to the device to be a praise, but there has also been recognition of existing iPhone users Apple did not give a convincing reason to upgrade. bsm50gd170dl

Why is this so? Why Evolution iPhone and PC, tablet PCs and other computing devices is not so fast as in the past it? There are many reasons, but the core question is: to promote the progress of the prior art is becoming more difficult than at any time in the past – higher technical difficulty, cost more expensive, more time-consuming. Our equipment is complicated, so that a more fundamentally, they push further tantamount to pushing the limits of physics.

Evolution of new and innovative ways

Of course, we need not despair. These devices built-in technology evolving manner, new equipment and new experiences to open possibilities.

Production PC chip Intel and Apple in a similar situation. Both are usually every two years for its core product to conduct a major upgrade, but they slow down the pace. fs50r12ke3

Intel said it will launch once every three years to make it more transistors in a chip inserted into the new technology. It its latest processor called Kaby Lake– to previous generation technology, “optimization.” That means that the amplitude of PC upgrades and related equipment will be smaller, it will slow sales in those areas.

After two large-screen models iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus advent of two years, iPhone this year should usher in a significant redesign. But Apple has just brought a new model to longer battery life, faster processor, and better waterproof camera –iPhone 7 Plus is equipped with dual rear camera. With Wall Street Journal technology columnist Geoffrey Fowler (Geoffrey Fowler) words, these upgrades “very pragmatic, but did not make phenomenal men can answer.”

However, some careful research, technology companies will make more and more new features and applications possible.

In Intel’s latest microprocessor for example. It is in dealing with traditional computing tasks may only be a little faster than the old, but it’s evidence with an estimated speed of twice the old graphics processor. The chip can also handle four times the pixels than traditional HD video 4K video. This in itself may enhance the sound is not great. But in virtual reality next year is expected to become a killer application of the PC, it is not a small thing.

Apple to the core components of the new iPhone A10 chip to create a better graphics processor. This gives new camera brings support for Apple’s director of marketing Phil Schiller (Phil Schiller) referred to as “super computer pictures.” Apple stressed that the iPhone 7 vastly improved graphics capabilities will give gamers bring great benefits, but it has the potential to lay the foundation for the iPhone support virtual reality or augmented reality. Reportedly, the company is involved in this emerging field.

Dedicated custom chip

The emergence of these features is just the beginning. For chip performance slowdown, the main coping hardware vendors is to create custom chips to handle specific tasks.

Such speed chip processing tasks than has long been known as PC and smart phone “brains” of general-purpose chip is much faster. Gartner research vice president Mark Hung (Mark Hung) indicated that they can be applied to artificial intelligence, machine vision, audio processing and other tasks.

For example, with improved graphics and display functions, Apple and its competitors are coming towards 3D – virtual reality in the form of 3D video and 3D playback. Other ASIC enables an unmanned vehicle machine vision and drive Apple Siri, Microsoft Cortana, Amazon and other virtual assistant Alexa depth learning AI.

As Mark Hung said that ASIC is part of the “heterogeneous computing” trend, which refers to the tendency for different purposes by different chip device driver. For example, Apple last week’s conference, the company highlighted three new chips: iPhone A10 7′s, Apple Watch Series 2 S1 through improved chip and chip AirPod W1 wireless headphones.

In other words, the layout of the Apple ecosystem of using a custom chip equipment consisting of various custom chips for different tasks. This is a heterogeneous computing chip itself beyond form, visible at the device level.

Apple is not alone in taking this road. Intel has been aggressively expand mergers and acquisitions, has been working on a number of annexed vision, artificial intelligence, servers and networking chip company.

Through these developments, Apple and Intel technology will be handed the hands of developers, who will be able to build the future of essential functions from the 3D interface and indoor maps, gave birth to a new human-computer interaction of artificial intelligence.

It is worth remembering that “incremental” upgrade from Apple and its competitors spawned by far the most valuable part of the start-up companies, from Uber to Airbnb. Seemingly insignificant innovation can set off a classic case of great change is about 2003, it began to appear in the Android smart phone a new feature that until 2010, iPhone 4 just came off the biggest waves. How Who would have thought to increase the front camera would spawn Snapchat it?

With applications led display more widespread, the use of the occasion has become increasingly complex, past the traditional single PC control led display can not meet the needs of users, while Daktronics company, Lighthouse companies have launched led display dedicated image processor to improve display led display.

Depending Jazz Asahi Optical to you on the next image processor dedicated led display four functions:

First, image processing technology

For different occasions, using different image processing technology to display images to be displayed pretreatment to improve the display effect of the display.

For example: As the fast-moving images caused by incoherent questions, can be moving image processing technology to ensure the smooth movement and display the best image; diagonal compensation check the video image of a diagonal pattern, so that the edge of the image It becomes smooth. Image sharpening technology highlights the edge of the image, so that the display is more clear and smooth. xcr5128-10pq100c

Second, the video signal conversion function

It supports VGA, SVGA, XGA format digital signal or an analog signal into a led display dedicated video signal format. Image Effects Daktronics company DV-Link image processor enhancements, the ability to PAL signal into an image signal 50 images per second screen, and the image signal of the NTSC signal into a 60 frames per second. After improving the picture playback speed so fast motion on the screen becomes coherent.

Third, adjustable GAMMA correction function

Gamma correction can improve the image of dark and bright areas, contrast transition or eliminate blur. Gamma correction realizes the image brightness adjustment, can enhance the image of the dark and light areas of the effect on the led display. 2SD466

Fourth, the color space conversion function

Since led display color space color space than the existing TV signal is much larger, and therefore, if the direct use of RGB three-color television video signal to control led tricolor luminescence display, will produce color deviation, so led displays color image and the original image is a clear distortion, seriously affecting the display. Image processor NTSC and PAL color values ​​are converted to color values ​​led, thus ensuring perfect video signal reproduction.

Today, semiconductor ring toughest thing in the Moore’s Law is about to end, the researchers had to find a replacement for silicon semiconductor material to improve performance, and the carbon nanotubes are considered to be the most likely one to replace silicon material.

Recently, the University of Wisconsin-Madison has been made in the development of this material by leaps and bounds breakthrough, school materials scientists successfully developed 1-inch carbon nanotube transistors, and for the first time while in the performance of silicon transistors and beyond gallium arsenide transistors.

As the name suggests, carbon nano-channel transistor is composed of carbon nanotubes as a conductive material made of transistors, which wall only one atom thick, this material is not only conductive properties, and the volume can do than it is now 100 times less silicon transistors . In addition, the carbon nanotube transistors ultra-small space makes it possible to quickly change the direction of current flowing through it, so they can reach 5 1/5 times the speed or power consumption of only silicon transistors silicon transistors.

However, because of technical bottlenecks in the past for a long time researchers have not been able to develop a better performance than silicon transistors and gallium arsenide transistors of carbon nanotube transistors, not to expect their applications in various types of electronic equipment.mds690

It is understood that, in accordance with traditional practice, usually carbon nanotube hybrid metallic nanotubes, but these metallic nanotubes can cause a short circuit the electronic device, thereby undermining the conductive properties of carbon nanotubes. University of Wisconsin-Madison researchers this another way, they use a polymer replace almost all of the metallic nanotubes, the content of metallic nanotubes down to 0.01% or less, this approach greatly enhance the conductivity.

In addition, the team also made to improve the process, they developed a successful method to remove the residue dissolved carbon nanotube production process produces.

Materials engineering professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison Mike Arnold, said: “Our research while overcoming multiple barriers faced by carbon nanotubes, eventually won the first super-performance silicon transistor 1-inch carbon nanotube transistors many ideas Carbon. still to be achieved, but we finally realized after two decades to catch up. “adsp-21020kg-100

So the question is, graphene and carbon nanotubes who will become the next generation of semiconductor materials?
