Development of Industry’s Highest Output Power 638 nm Laser Diode by MITSUBISHI Electric
Pico Projector is an emerging technology gaining in popularity that applies the use of a projector in hand held devices such as mobile phones. The development of Pico Projector was a direct response to emergence of compact mobile devices such as mobile phone and PDA as well as digital cameras which offer adequate amount of storage capacity required to handle such application as presentation but lack the space in accommodating an attached display screen. The current pico size projectors employing LED as the light source are capable of projecting a wider range of colors in comparison to lamp-based projectors; however, they lack sufficient brightness for everyday use in a normally lit room. On the other hand the laser diode based pico projectors offer higher output power with less power consumption results in longer battery operation. Read more
Release of Industry’s Thinnest LEDs by ROHM
Rohm now offers to the world industry’s thinnest LEDs. The PICOLED series by the company comes in a tiny 0.2mm thick package offering a high brightness. The newly developed PICOLED offers no brightness degradation in comparison to conventional products and at the same time achieves a reduction in mounting area and volume of 53% and 74% respectively over the standard 1608 size contributing to device miniaturization.
