Red MicroLEDs Three Orders of Magnitude Smaller in Surface Area
By Technical Paper Link - 08 Nov, 2022 - Comments: 0

A technical paper titled "N-polar InGaN/GaN nanowires: overcoming the efficiency cliff of red-emitting micro-LEDs" was published by researchers at University of Michigan. The researchers created "red-microLEDs that are nearly three orders of magnitude smaller in surface area than previously reported devices while exhibiting external quantum efficiency of ~1.2%," according to the University o... » read more

Chip Challenges In The Metaverse
By Marie C. Baca and Ed Sperling - 24 Oct, 2022 - Comments: 0

The metaverse is pushing the limits of chip design, despite uncertainty about how much raw horsepower these devices ultimately will require to deliver an immersive blend of augmented, virtual, and mixed reality. The big challenge in developing these systems is the ability to process mixed data types in real time while the data moves uninterrupted at lightning speed. That requires the integra... » read more

Design And Security Challenges for VR
By John Koon - 10 Aug, 2022 - Comments: 0

Virtual reality is no longer just for gamers, and as this technology is deployed in everything from health care to industrial training, the requirements for processing more data faster over a high-speed connection are growing. Designing these devices continues to be a study in contradictions. They must be extremely low power, with a small enough batteries to make them comfortable to wear. Bu... » read more

Three Technologies Enabling The Next Decade Of Hyperconnectivity
By Frank Schirrmeister - 27 Jan, 2022 - Comments: 0

As it has become a tradition in my 15 years of blogging, January is a month of both reflection and outlook. At the beginning of 2022, I am excited that key themes from 5 and 10 years ago—3D integration, artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML), and ubiquitous needs for more connectivity driving 4G and 5G networks—clearly have exceeded expectations and forecasts from that time. L... » read more

Smart Glasses, Augmented Reality, And Time-of-Flight Imaging
By Edmund Neo - 20 Dec, 2021 - Comments: 0

By Edmund Neo and Rolf Weber Augmented reality (AR) is frequently discussed for providing new, exciting, vision-related products for consumer and industrial applications. One popular AR implementation uses AR glasses. While the global market for smart augmented reality glasses was only 255,600 units in 2020, market researchers predict robust growth and a volume of 8.8 million units by 2026 [... » read more

Get Ready For The Next Generation Of Wearable Tech
By Brian Bailey - 18 Oct, 2021 - Comments: 0

Wearables have attracted a lot of attention recently, due to both their successes as well as failures. They bring together requirements for packaging, new substrates, power scavenging, low-power, novel connectivity, flexibility, durability, as well as fashion. While some of the challenges remain formidable, the long-term potential is driving the industry to look at what is possible. They are... » read more

Data Overload In The Data Center
By Ed Sperling - 25 Jan, 2021 - Comments: 0

Dealing with increasing volumes of data inside of data centers requires an understanding of architectures, the flow of data between memory and processors, bandwidth, cache coherency and new memory types and interfaces. Gary Ruggles, senior product marketing manager at Synopsys, talks about how these systems are being revamped to improve performance and reduce power. » read more
