  Sharp today announced that they’ve developed a 3D camera module that can be fitted in mobile devices to capture 3D videos in 720p resolution. It’s the industry’s first 3D camera module that comes with dual camera and captures two simultaneous images, one for the left eye and another one for the right. The camera [...]

  Wireless Gigabit Alliance (WiGig) and Wi-Fi Alliance have agreed to cooperate on the development of the next-generation Wi-Fi certification program. In this program, both the associations will align their technology specifications so that Wi-Fi can be operated without any issues in the 60GHz frequency band. This will allow Wi-Fi to a faster short-range transmission [...]

  Fujitsu has developed a new color e-paper that is touted to give the best color image quality. Fujitsu’s e-paper project team achieved it by redesigning the panel structure completely and image re-write methods. With the new technology in place, the color e-paper boasts reflective property that helps the e-paper to be bright by 1.3 [...]

  Toshiba Mobile Display has developed a unique 21-inch 3D Display that does not require any special glasses. The autostereoscopic display makes use of the integral imaging system that helps to reproduce 3D images that can be viewed without any glasses and also claims to reduce eye fatigue, which is said to be one of [...]

  Samsung has announced to ship industry’s first Multi-chip package (MCP) with PRAM from this quarter. The PRAM touted as the next successor of NOR flash is apt for use in mobile handsets and the new MCP-based 512Mbit PRAM is said to be backward compatible with 40nm-class NOR flash memory. PRAM uses phase change characteristics [...]

  Samsung has announced the industry’s first 20nm-based NAND flash chips aimed to use in SD memory cards and embedded memory solutions. Samsung says memory cards based on this process tech give faster write and read speeds. Samsung had created 30nm-based NAND flash a year before and today these 20nm MLC NAND touts to give [...]

  Samsung has developed 2.1MP and 1.3MP CMOS image sensors that will bring high-definition support to webcams and cameras requiring video capture. The 1.3MP (S5K6A1) and 2.1MP (S5K5B3) image sensors are specifically created to accommodate in thin LCD notebook panels without compromising on the capture quality. The imagers boast improved low-light sensitivity of 70Lux while [...]

  Sharp today announced the development of their small 3D LCD in Japan that does not require any glasses. The screen measures 3.4-inch in size, supports touchscreen and uses parallax barrier to show 3D images. The parallax barrier tech is integrated in a normal LCD and features a series of vertical slits that helps to [...]

  3-Dimensional content is expected to be supported by most electronic devices but South Koreans have developed a technology that shows off 3-D in a book. The smart scientists at Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology have developed two story books for children that come to life as the kid triggers some cues. The animation [...]

  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 [...]

  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 [...]

  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 [...]

  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 [...]

  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 [...]
