Apple, Samsung Win Praise for Display Technologies



Apple and Samsung this week won awards for display technologies on their mobile devices.
Apple’s iPhone and iPad earned gold Display of the Year and Display Application of the Year awards from the Society for Information Display. Both devices received praise for their usage of in-plane switching technology, in which crystal molecules are oriented so their motion is parallel to the panel, instead of perpendicular to it. The result is a very wide viewing angle — up to 180 degrees — with brilliant color.
Apple’s iPhone 4 high pixel-density “Retina Display” is reportedly manufactured by LG Displays, which is also the main supplier for the iPad’s display.
Meanwhile, Samsung earned silver awards for displays on its Galaxy S smartphones, as well as its on-cell touch active-matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) display technology. Samsung’s displays gained applause for using Super AMOLED technology, in which pixels emit their own light so the display does not require backlighting, to “deliver very high performance and exceptional display quality,” according to the society.
Also, Samsung’s on-cell touch technology integrates the touch sensor into the display itself, rather than putting the sensor on a separate piece of glass and laminating it on the display, which allows the display to be thinner and more responsive, the society said.
“[The award winners] demonstrate the remarkable contributions made by the display industry to broaden and enhance the lives of people,” said Bob Melcher, chairman of the SID Display of the Year Awards committee, in a press statement.
Display technologies take on an increasingly important role in the gadget industry as the newest mobile devices continue to shed physical keyboards and buttons in favor of touchscreens. Today, a smartphone’s display is as important as the software that runs beneath it.
Many display experts agree that Apple’s gadgets lead the game in the display industry thanks to their usage of in-plane switching, but Samsung’s AMOLED displays are not far from catching up.
“While OLED is still a relatively young display technology that has not yet been perfected to the performance levels of the very best mature LCDs [such as those on the iPhone and iPad], the Galaxy S is already an impressive display for an upcoming and rapidly evolving technology,” said Raymond Soneira, a display expert at DisplayMate, who has done independent testing on various displays.

Kurumsal Dijitalleşme mi yoksa Dijital Kurumsallaşma mı? (+Anket)

Eğer benim gibi siz de işinizin önemli bir bölümünü pazar araştırması yaparak geçiriyorsanız muhtemelen siz de en az benim kadar Türkiye'de pazar verisine ulaşmanın ne kadar zor olduğu hakkında defalarca şikayet etmiş ve sonunda yaratıcı yollar keşfetme yolunu tercih etmişsinizdir. Bunun sebebinin analitik düşünceye ihtiyacımızın olmaması mı, tembellik mi, kısa vadeli düşünmemiz mi yoksa insanüstü tahmin ve öngörü yeteneklerine sahip olmamız mı emin değilim. "Y  ou can’t manage what you can’t measure " - "Ö  lçemedeğiniz şeyi yönetemezsiniz " Her ne kadar bu söz, günümüze  yanlış  bir şekilde aktarılmış olsa da, kendi içerisinde kısmi bir doğruluk barındırmakta. Aslında bu söz ile anlatılmak istenen, ölçerek herşeyin yönetilemeyeceği fakat sonuçları iyileştirmek için süreçlerin ölçülmesi ve takip edilmesinin önemli olduğudur.  Sözün asıl sahibi W. Edward Deming, verinin ve gözlemin önemini aşağıdaki sözüyle çok güzel bir şekilde anlatmaktadır....

A Creative Way to Meet Investors - UberX

Have a cool startup idea, and want to get it funded? You could go the traditional route, blindly sending your pitch deck to every VC in Silicon Valley. Or you could follow investors on Twitter, hoping that through casual badinage you can win the hearts (and eventually, the wallets) of your startup's money source.  Or maybe, just maybe, you should drive for Uber. UberX Lowers The Bar Yes, Uber, the popular mobile app that connects drivers with people who need a lift. Founded in 2009 as UberCab, Uber has become the go-to app for hailing a sedan in markets like San Francisco, New York City and London. And while historically Uber operators have been commercial sedan drivers filling time between jobs their employer provides them, Uber's introduction of UberX in July 2012 has opened the service to cars and drivers of all kinds. This means that not only will you be picked up in a Toyota Prius or Volkswagen Jetta instead of a Lincoln Town Car, but you're also going...
