L.A. Chapter of SID Technical Meeting - April 29th, 2010
REFLECTIVE AND TRANSFLECTIVE LCDs
Learn about the displays that will be in your next cell phone and eReader!
There will be two speakers tonight, Mr. Richard K. Grace of Renesas Electronics America representing NEC LCD Technologies and Mr. Tom Gattinella representing Sharp. NEC will present their super reflective technology known as SR-NLT where for direct sunlight applications, you can turn off the backlight saving power with its obvious advantages. They offer a choice of 2.7" - 4.3" and 6.5" - 15" sizes, with multiple viewing characteristics, resolutions, and image optics. Mr. Grace has worked for NEC for 3 years and previously worked for Sharp, Wyle, and Proxima.
L.A. Chapter of SID Technical Meeting - Thursday, March 25, 2010
Geoff Walker, Marketing Evangelist and Industry Guru at NextWindow will present "LCD In-Cell Touch Screens Technology". This survey, completed in January 2010, will give the details of light sensing, voltage sensing, and charge sensing in-cell touch. How each technology works, who is working on it, advantages, disadvantages, and products in the market or coming to the market are all explained. The one-hour talk concludes with a comparison of the technologies, a market forecast, and a prediction of the overall impact of in-cell touch technologies. Geoff is a mobile-computing industry pioneer, starting at GRiD Systems in 1982. Geoff has served at Fujitsu, Handspring, Walker Mobile (his own company), Elo Touch Systems, and currently at NextWindow, the leading supplier of optical touchscreens. He holds a BS-EE and a BS-English from Polytechnic Institute of NYU. Presentation Slides for Metting: LCD In-Cell Touch (March 25, 2010).pdf |
