Billed as the ultimate immersive desktop display, the 42.4in Ostendo CRVD wraps around the viewer and delivers billions of colours with better than 300cd/m2 brightness. Ostar-Projection LED modules from Osram Opto Semiconductors are used to backlight a novel ultrawide curved display from Ostendo Technologies The Ostendo CRVD curved display measures 42.4in diagonal and provides a 2880 x 900 pixel resolution (double WXGA+)

Units are IP54 certified and UL1310 Class 2 recognised, and so are suitable for outdoor and other locations where they may be exposed to moisture. A new range of high-power LED drivers from Marl Optosource are designed to power the Lamina TitanTurbo, billed as one of the world's brightest LED light enginesLED light engines can now match the luminosity of a 100W tungsten lamp - but this new generation of products imposes a much heavier load on the drive electronics.

Leadis Technology, Inc., an analog and mixed-signal semiconductor developer of color display drivers, power management ICs, LED drivers, and audio ICs for mobile consumer electronic devices, today announced sample availability of the LDS6000 and LDS6020, the first two products in a new family of low power controllers designed for capacitive touch applications. Targeted at both mobile and non-mobile applications, the devices support a variety of touch input types including buttons, sliders, and scroll wheels.

Hotbeam  has added CeeLux D08 to its range of recessed LED powered light fittings.The CeeLux D08 is a complete unit (bulb and housing) designed for ceilings, walls and cabinetry. Installation is easy with spring-loaded mounting clips. The CeeLux D08 light head pivots to 45°with an ideal white powder coated aluminium body. It produces light equivalent to a 20w halogen, whilst consuming an economical 6.5 watts of power. The CeeLux D08 is available in:

Addressing the high level of interest in solid-state lighting, TPS62260LED LED develoipment board from Texas Inatruments enables lighting designers to develop and evaluate a variable-color RGB-LED lighting system using an RF lighting control for management of lighting intensity and color. The board combines three OSRAM high-brightness LEDs (red, green and blue) with an MSP430F2131 microcontroller to control the brightness of each LED using the output of three dedicated TPS62260 solid-state lighting drivers (SSLD).

Semisilicon Technology Corp. announce two 3 wires full color LED driver IC, One is 3 wires RGBW LED PWM driver IC，Part number is「DJ5111」.The other is 3 wires RGB LED constant current driver IC，Part number is「DJ5091」.

Future Lighting Solutions, a division of Future Electronics, Inc., with NEC Electronics America, Inc., today introduced the world’s first intelligent constant High-Current Driver (HCD) with microcontroller (MCU). The new HCD/LED MCU can be used in lighting applications that employ multiple LEDs, in addition to industrial control applications such as stepping motors, solenoid drives, and switch-mode power supplies.

'Tactical'flashlights - torches for shining into people's eyes - are already popular in the US amongst certain special interest groups and now a Californian firm has taken the concept one stage further. With $1m from the Department of Homeland Security, Intelligent Optical Systems of Los Angeles has created the LED Incapacitator.

Adding a new category to its TV business, Recently,Sony of Canada Ltd. announced that it will launch the XEL-1, an 11-inch Organic Light-Emitting Diode (OLED) television. Aiming to expand its overall TV business, Sony will add the new XEL-1 model to the lineup of televisions that is currently centered on the "BRAVIA" line of LCDs. The new OLED TV model features an "Organic Panel", which was independently developed by Sony and has exceptional features. The XEL-1 has a unique structure that achieves brilliant deep blacks and extremely high

The MBI5039 is a 16-channel constant current LED driver with smart error detection functions released by Macroblock. The MBI5039 supports constant output current from 3mA to 90mA and sustains up to 17V at the output ports. In addition, the high clock frequency (30MHz) satisfies the system requirements of high volume data transmission. The MBI5039 includes two error-detection functions: in-message error detection and silent error detection.

austriamicrosystems expanded its LED driver portfolio with the AS1112, a full color LED driver ideally suited for full color applications such as LED video displays, LCD TV backlighting, indoor/outdoor full-color LED displays and large-size stadium displays.

Allegro announces a new, high-brightness, adjustable constant current LED driver to complement its existing portfolio of display driver ICs. Targeted at the automotive lighting market, this LED driver is also an excellent fit in industrial and consumer LED applications. This new device is designed to operate over the typical automotive battery and temperature ranges.

Researchers at the University of Michigan have discovered a way to get 50% more light out of organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs), bringing them one step closer to more widespread adoption as a general lighting source, while increasing their value in displays.

It appears MacBook Pro keyboards will come with OLED touch panels after all, Cult of Mac has leaked photos of the OLED panel enhanced notebooks, which it obtained from an Apple supplier.
