STMicroelectronics’ Backlight Driver for High-Tech Handhelds Saves Power, Time and Money - Miniature control IC for energy-efficient white-LED backlights simplifies circuit design
STMicroelectronics has extended its portfolio of energy-saving solutions for mobile devices with a new IC that simplifies the design of power-efficient LCD and keypad backlights comprising white LEDs. Backlights built with white LEDs, instead of traditional fluorescent tubes, consume less power enabling longer battery life for portable devices such as smartphones, games and GPS terminals.
STMicroelectronics’ Powerful New FingerTip Touchscreen Technology Stifles Electrical ‘Noise’
STMicroelectronics has announced its new FingerTip technology, which enables a single-chip solution for capacitive touchscreens up to 10 inches in diameter with multi-touch capability.
Researchers have now developed an optical sensor for the windshield that can tell the difference between fog and darkness.
Driver-assistance systems help prevent accidents. Quite simply, the more a car knows about its surroundings, the more intelligently it can respond to them. Researchers have now developed an optical sensor for the windshield that can even tell the difference between fog and darkness. The system will also be available for small cars.
