OSRAM Opto Semiconductors' RGB Multi ChipLEDs are used in the FormoLight display. Their compact size
permits a special image format in LED video displays ranging in size from small
to large screens. In this display, for interior use, the LEDs are not used as
backlighting light sources that are hidden from viewers such as in LCDs, but in
this application the LEDs are clearly visible on the surface of the display. They
remain undetected by viewers because of the Multi ChipLEDs small size of 1.6 x
1.6 mm and 0.9 mm thick, and virtually invisible through the black LED housing.
Multi ChipLEDs produce a
homogenous image from virtually any viewing angle. This homogeneity is based on
two principles. The LEDs can be packed very closely together because of their
compact size - the distance between pixels can be as little as 2 mm. Also, the special casting material ensures a
perfect color mix. The LEDs contain three chips (red, green, blue) manufactured
using OSRAM's Thinfilm or ThinGaN technology, each of which can be controlled
separately. The color impression is constant across the entire viewing angle
and remains brilliant even when viewed from the side. Thanks to the LEDs' sharp
contrasts and high output, this high image quality is maintained even in high
ambient light environments. The LEDs are characterized by low power consumption
and long life.
As energy efficiency becomes more and more a concern for makers of electronics devices, researchers are coming up with new ways to harvest energy from sound vibration, footsteps, and even electromagnetic fields in the air.
The government wants to study your brain, and DARPA wants to use similar information to give robots true autonomy beyond any artificial intelligence developed to date. Sound like science fiction? It's not.

A quick look into the merger of two powerhouse 3D printing OEMs and the new leader in rapid prototyping solutions, Stratasys. The industrial revolution is now led by 3D printing and engineers are given the opportunity to fully maximize their design capabilities, reduce their time-to-market and functionally test prototypes cheaper, faster and easier. Bruce Bradshaw, Director of Marketing in North America, will explore the large product offering and variety of materials that will help CAD designers articulate their product design with actual, physical prototypes. This broadcast will dive deep into technical information including application specific stories from real world customers and their experiences with 3D printing. 3D Printing is
