Sports fans jump, yell at the top of their voices and though it helps to motivate the supporting team, it generally is the lost energy as far as fans are concerned. But a Japanese stadium is trying to put that waste energy to some good use – by generating power. A football match between J1 [...]

 
Samsung has grabbed another industry’s first title by developing a low-power 4Gb (gigabit) DDR3 RAM using 40nm class process technology. This memory promises to bring significant power savings and double the density as compared to 40nm-based 2Gb DDR3 developed last year. For instance, a 16GB module based on 4Gb saves up to 35 percent power [...]

 
Mitsubishi’s latest tech will help you to make the full HD content look more in-depth and detailed. This unnamed technology helps to upscale 1080p content to higher resolution of 4K x 2K. However, despite it being able to churn a larger than the current 1080 resolution, the technology does not support Blu-ray upscaling. It only [...]

 
We’ve got few laptops that come with discrete GPUs and a dedicated switch that can be turned on or off as per user’s needs. It’s good to have such a switch since it can help optimizing notebook’s battery life but most notebooks with discrete GPUs are devoid of such a switch, which is why Nvidia [...]

 
To address today’s electronic products’ increasing quantities of internal data transfer, Sony has devised a very short-range wireless transfer communication that will allow manufacturers to replicate the same functions of wired components but save on the cost such electronic components.
This tech is based on millimeter-wave wireless data technology that transmits electromagnetic waves at [...]

 
Intel and Micron’s joint venture, IM Flash Technologies (IMFT) has achieved a major breakthrough by developing the world’s first 25nm-based NAND flash. Using the 25nm process technology, Intel believes the NAND can give consumer electronics manufacturers a way to integrate larger amounts of storage in a cost-effective manner.
Intel and Micron has developed an 8GB [...]

 
Samsung today unveiled industry’s first DDR3 RAM using the 30nm-class process technology. The 2 gigabit (Gb) memory module has successfully completed customer evaluations and is claimed to increase productivity while reducing power consumption.
Mass production of these RAMs is expected in the second half of this year and when applied with the 30nm process tech, [...]

 
LG Display, the second largest display maker is looking to open a new avenue for e-content providers and manufacturers. They’ve created the industry’s largest bendable e-ink display (measuring 19-inches), making it an appropriate choice for newspaper companies.
The display is just 0.3mm thick and to make it more bendable, the screen uses a metal foil [...]

 
In the bustle of 3D TVs and e-book readers, Haier was showing an interesting product on the CES show floor. Haier introduced a prototype of a wireless HD television that was powered from the energy created by a nearby magnetic field.
Haier’s TV was using MIT’s WiTricity technology that converts the AC power to a [...]

 
HDMI Licensing LLC., group that licenses HDMI specs has announced its plans to add 3D broadcast support in HDMI v1.4. The group will be meeting in late January to finalize and add the latest format, known as Top/Bottom so that a mandatory 3D broadcast format is established.
HDMI 1.4 already supports various 3D display structures like [...]

 
Back in May LG had created the world’s thinnest LCD TV panel measuring 5.9mm. Now, they’re back again reclaiming the title from Samsung by showing off a panel that is more than 50 percent thinner than LG’s previous one, measuring at just 2.6mm. LG claims the slimness is an achievement from use of “slimming” technologies, [...]

 
LG, Samsung, Sony Pictures and Valens Semiconductor have come together to form the HDBaseT alliance. It’s a cross-industry alliance to promote HDBaseT technology that will allow users to watch uncompressed HD video (full HD), audio as well as internet on their HDTVs using a simple CAT5e cable.
The alliance wants to standardize the tech, helping [...]

 
Wireless Home Digital Interface (WHDI), a consortium formed by Amimon, Hitachi, Motorola, Sharp, Samsung and Sony has announced the completion of WHDI specification that will enable users to transmit full HD content without any wires.
Amimon, had initially proposed the tech to transmit content only up to 720p but with the latency coming in under [...]

 
Epson has created what is said to be the world’s first 4K-compatible high-temperature polysilicon (HTPS) TFT liquid crystal panel for 3LCD projectors. The prototype display measures only 1.64-inches but it boasts a mammoth resolution of 4096×2160 pixels, four times higher than the full HD (1080p) resolution.
Epson reckons the use of projectors has expanded from [...]

 
Samsung has developed the world’s thinnest multi-die memory package that is just 0.6mm thick and packs a whopping 32GB of storage. The new memory package is 40 percent thinner and lighter compared to the conventional memory packages stacked with eight chips. The ultra-thin package consists of eight dies (chips) of 4GB NAND flash that are [...]
