Barco is proud to introduce a brand-new LED projector. The single-chip FL33 projector offers training, simulation and visitor attraction industries an affordable, yet durable high-quality product. The FL33 will be presented to audiences across several industry events in the coming months.

One problem in developing more efficient organic LED light bulbs and displays for TVs and phones is that much of the light is polarized in one direction and thus trapped within the LED. University of Utah physicists believe they have solved the problem by creating a new organic molecule that is shaped like rotelle – wagon-wheel pasta – rather than spaghetti.

Investigators at University of California, Santa Barbara, led by material scientists Kristin Denault and Michael Cantore, have devised an alternative means of creating high-power white light by using a different excitation source -- a laser diode in combination with inorganic phosphors, instead of the traditional LEDs.

Making reading in the dark easier is the aim of a new range of attractive LED Glasses being launched by Vision Enhancers at the Young at Heart Show in October.

Ian Williams, Linear Applications Engineer at Texas Instruments tackles printed circuit board (PCB) solder flux issues that affect circuit functionality in a recent blog entry. When troubleshooting non-functional or poorly performing circuits, engineers often run simulations or other analyses that consider the circuit at the schematic level. If these methods fail to resolve the issue, even the best engineer might be left feeling stumped, frustrated, or confused. I’ve felt this pain myself. To prevent you from reaching a similar dead end, I present to you one simple, but crucial, tip: keep it clean!

Researchers from UCLA's Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science have developed a transparent, elastic organic light-emitting device, or OLED, that could one day make all these possible. The OLED can be repeatedly stretched, folded and twisted at room temperature while still remaining lit and retaining its original shape.

Signaling the end of a patent battle lasting for almost three years, Korea’s Intellectual Property Tribunal (IPT) rejected an attempt to invalidate Dow Corning patent 10-976075. The patent is among Dow Corning’s rich intellectual property (IP) portfolio covering the company’s proprietary high refractive index (RI) phenyl-based optical silicone technology, which offers numerous high-value benefits to LED devices. These benefits include improved light output, excellent mechanical protection of LED components and enduring gas barrier properties for enhanced reliability. Handed down by the IPT on August 9, the decision in favor of Dow Corning significantly strengthens its intellectual property position for the technology in Korea, as well as in other key global LED manufacturing centers, including the U.S., Japan, Taiwan, China, Malaysia and Europe.
