Samsung Electronics catapulted to the top of the optoelectronics supplier ranking in 2012 from 12th place in 2011 after it gained full ownership of Samsung LED, a 50-50 joint venture in light-emitting diodes that was created in 2009 between Samsung Electronics and affiliate Samsung Electro-Mechanics. In April 2012, the venture was absorbed into Samsung Electronics to strengthen and expand the use of high-brightness LEDs in displays, LCD TVs, and ...

Despite facing five consecutive quarters of decline and a slowdown in consumption in smartphones and tablets, the global market for NAND flash memory pulled off a surprise growth spurt during the last three months of 2012, causing sales to reach a record high.

Toshiba have revealed the launch of new microSDHC Memory Cards based on SeeQVault technology that will provide a flexible platform for storing and distributing high definition content. SeeQVault is a leading-edge content protection technology developed by NSM Initiatives LLC (NSM is an abbreviation of Next Generation Secure Memory Initiative), a joint venture of Toshiba, Panasonic, Samsung and Sony.

Toshiba and IAR have today introduced an embedded systems ‘starter kit’ that will speed development of smart meters, weighing scales and other applications that demand ultra-high-precision measurement. The new Starterkit is built around Toshiba’s TMPM061FWFG microcontroller, which is the first Toshiba microcontroller to use the ARM Cortex-M0 core.

Toshiba introduce a pre-configured development board for rapid implementation of motor control applications using its ARM Cortex-M3 family of microcontrollers. Developers can use the low-cost ‘SigmaBoard’ as a starter kit, as a reference design, or as a stand-alone solution for field-orientated control/vector control of brushless DC motors with ratings to 36V and 2A.

More than one quarter of installed wafer capacity worldwide is dedicated to producing IC devices using process geometries (or feature sizes) smaller than 40nm, according to data in IC Insights’ Global Wafer Capacity 2013—A Detailed Analysis and Forecast of the IC Industry’s Wafer Fab Capacity.

Toshiba has announced European availability of the company’s first ARM Cortex-M4 microcontrollers. The TMPM440 series meets the high-speed, ultra-low-power digital processing requirements of applications ranging from digital cameras, audio equipment and computer peripherals to communications systems, digital home appliances and sensor/detection systems.

Toshiba have announced that it has launched P-ch MOSFETs for switches of high-current charging circuit switches of mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. Toshiba's new SSM6J505NU and SSM6J216FE are the company's latest additions to its high-current P-ch MOSFET line-up of high-power dissipation packages.

by Raghu Das, CEO, IDTechEx LCD panel makers in Taiwan, Japan and Korea have been suffering. Despite the growing demand for LCDs the high number of panel makers and new competition from China has resulted in tough price competition for panel makers, to the point that many panel makers are no longer profitable. In 2012, Samsung Electronics moved their LCD business units into a separate entity. One report suggests that the Taiwanese have investe...

Toshiba Electronics Europe has announced a photocoupler* that will reduce PCB space and power consumption in IGBT and MOSFET designs that need galvanic isolation. Target applications include factory automation equipment, motor drives, digital home appliances and photovoltaic power micro-inverters.
