Q3 Global Semiconductor Sales Increase 11 Percent Compared to Q2
The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) today announced worldwide sales of semiconductors totaled $113.6 billion during the third quarter of 2020, an increase of 11.0 percent over the previous quarter and 5.8 percent more than the third quarter of 2019.
Breakthrough Quantum-Dot Transistors Create a Flexible Alternative to Conventional Electronics
Researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory and their collaborators from the University of California, Irvine have created fundamental electronic building blocks out of tiny structures known as quantum dots and used them to assemble functional logic circuits.
A Flexible Color-Changing Film Inspired by Chameleon Skin
Chameleons can famously change their colors to camouflage themselves, communicate and regulate their temperature. Scientists have tried to replicate these color-changing properties for stealth technologies, anti-counterfeiting measures and electronic displays, but the materials have limitations. Now, researchers have developed a flexible film that changes color in response to stretching, pressure or humidity.
OPD Optical Sensors That Reproduce Any Color
Photodiodes are optical sensors that convert the energy of light into electrical energy. Organic photodiodes (OPDs) respond quickly and have the advantage of being able to realize colors free from color filters because they can control the spectral response of wavelengths.
Veeco Announces Aledia Order of 300mm MOCVD Equipment for microLED Displays
Veeco Instruments Inc. (NASDAQ: VECO) today announced that Aledia, a developer and manufacturer of next-generation advanced display applications, has selected Veeco’s Propel 300 HVM metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) system for high- resolution microLED displays.
HKU Engineering Team Develops Novel Miniaturised Organic Semiconductor
Field Effect Transistors (FET) are the core building blocks of modern electronics such as integrated circuits, computer CPUs and display backplanes. Organic Field Effect Transistors (OFETs), which use organic semiconductor as a channel for current flows, have the advantage of being flexible when compared with their inorganic counterparts like silicon.
Aledia, French Developer of Next-Generation microLED Displays For High-Volume Consumer Markets, Announces €80M Closing of Planned €120M Investment Round
Aledia, a French startup that is pioneering a disruptive technology for microLED displays, has closed an €80M first tranche of its €120M D-round financing.
Global Semiconductor Sales Increase 4.9 Percent Year-to-Year in August
The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) today announced worldwide sales of semiconductors were $36.2 billion in August 2020, 4.9 percent more than the August 2019 total of $34.5 billionand 3.6 percent higher than the July 2020 total of $35.0 billion.
