Tom Friedman to Deliver Keynote Address at 2020 SIA Leadership Forum & Award Celebration
The Semiconductor Industry Association today announced Thomas L. Friedman, longtime foreign affairs columnist at The New York Times and bestselling author of The World is Flat, will deliver the keynote address at the 2020 SIA Leadership Forum & Award Celebration.
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.
