PLED TV, so does the ‘superplasma’ LG

‘Plasma? LED?, A strange combination of the two? The new display technology developed by LG and named PLED has attracted a mountain of questions about their operation, advantages and disadvantages.

First things first, PLED TVs are, as to how the image is formed, plasma TVs. In other words, the screen PLED is formed by two glass layers in which are small cells with neon gas and xenon which, when excited by an electrical pulse plasma become which makes the inner cover of the cell phosphorus shine. In other words, what we already know her as a plasma screen pure and simple.

What is the difference then the PLED? In terms of panel, PLEDs is a ‘Plasma steroid’ PLEDs cells are much smaller. In fact, each subpixel is an independent cell, and the gases are subjected containing therefore a much higher concentration. Moreover, each cell also has a much thicker layer of phosphorus.

This concentration means that it takes a lot less electricity to generate the plasma in each cell. As a result reach the first PLED advantages: Its power consumption is less than that of conventional plasma and is pretty close to what they consume LCD TVs.

By consuming less, it also generates less heat and less wear. Since at full power, a plasma TV lasts around 50,000 hours before starting to degrade. This figure is usually apportioned on what would be a normal domestic consumption. The resulting figure is about 100,000 hours, which is the figure we all know.

In the case of PLED, the highest concentration of Xenon and phosphorus increases its service life to 80,000 hours of use the wild (as in the panel of an airport, for example) or 160,000 in a home.

Autonomous pixel matte finish

LED and LCD is actually the same technology. From one to another only change the illuminated pixel. In PLED, as in the plasma, there is no backlight. Each pixel emits its own light, so the contrast is not subject to lamps that illuminate an area of several pixels. Each pixel can be turned off completely PLED while the next is lit.

This advantage is shared with the plasma that makes the PLED has better contrast ratio than the LED and not produce the phenomenon of contrails in the image due to the speed at which pixels are turned on and off is greater.

The finish LED panel also has an advantage over plasma, and it is completely flat and does not reflect glare. The very structure and characteristics of conventional plasma causes the glass is always bright. Some manufacturers attenuate this with anti-reflection layers but these layers also reduce glare and do not become completely dull as the PLED.

MSI: better overclocking cooler and configurable for HD 7000

MSI expands its graphics offerings by three so-called “Power Edition” models of the Radeon HD 7000-series. They should be distinguished in particular by a higher overclocking potential, which will allow more extensive through voltage settings and a spiked supply.

The Taiwanese company is bringing it a HD 7850, HD 7770 and HD 7750 as a Power Edition on the market and boasts such as “the first HD 7000 with Over Voltage Support”. Carried up, the voltage of GPU, memory and voltage transformers (VDDCI) can lift you above the normal level, according to GPU to achieve higher memory frequencies, respectively. Together with an improved PWM design is the overclocking potential therefore rise up to 45 percent.

Also interesting are the cooling solutions of the newcomers: While the r7850 Power Edition of the latest “Twin Frozr IV” cooler, which is also in the R7970 Lightning is used, is used, the power Editions of R7770 and R7750 with the possibility of a to install additional fan fitted. The second axial fan can be mounted directly above the first in order to increase the air flow, but that is noisy side product only available as an option. When the MSI R7770 Power Edition also offers the option to place the auxiliary fan in addition to the standard fan so as to transform the card into a dual-fan design.

Foxconn is reaching for the capacity of Sharp LCD

The Chinese contract manufacturer Foxconn is entering the Japanese electronics giant Sharp. The company bought a share of ten percent of the shares, becoming the largest single investor. If the deal is mainly about access to displays.

How Sharp announced that it goes in the deal at a sum of approximately $ 800 million. The contract signed between the company sees it not only the acquisition of an interest, but also closer cooperation in the display area. About this, the two companies led negotiations for some time.

Foxconn thus secured half of the production capacity of an LCDplant in Japan by Sharp. This allows the contract manufacturer to make sure each medium to obtain larger quantities of panels for its production – and the top of the latest technological developments.

This is probably also in terms of further cooperation with the Apple computer company is important. Indeed, in recent years a rapidly growing demand for good panels – for both notebooks and tablets and smartphones at the sales figures were up sharply. The high-resolution display of the new iPad put it before the supplier problems, because no one was able to offer the required quality in the required quantities.

So they went both Sharp and LG Display off once empty. With improvements but they have the opportunity to get back into the business – because currently, Apple had to contact Samsung, which due to ongoing patent disputes and direct competition in the booming mobile market probably represented the end only the absolute last resort.

The money from Foxconn is expected to help Sharp meet the quality requirements to Apple soon. On their own major investments are currently difficult to tackle on that is – after all, the company will complete the fiscal year ended in March with a record loss of an estimated $ 3.5 billion.

The amazing Amazon has bought robots in action

The logistics of which boasts the giant Amazon is no accident. With that muscle very fit your business have provided a great user experience and got who they are now. So they can afford to buy the company Kiva Systems for nearly $ 600 million.

A Kiva did not want anything else than for his amazing robots, which will now be responsible for the logistics giant’s Internet sales. These robots move like cockroaches stores and are capable of moving shelves and drawers full of products.

If you get an idea of how we leave you with a video of Wired where to see in action at these little ones who have much work ahead in the many stores of Amazon:

ARD and ZDF in HD received via cable and satellite

Who wants to see on his flat screen television ARD and ZDF in HD, must find out the HDTV frequencies of TV channels, to recruit them. An automatic station search saves a while, the manual entries in substance but in many TVs and receivers confused the list of saved channels.

Many owners of HD TV looks at the TV stations ARD and ZDF still in a simple resolution. Anyone who has bought about a new flat screen TV for Christmas, I watch the public broadcaster ZDF The first and perhaps still in SD (standard definition) rather than in HD (high definition), because he has made since then no automatic channel scan.

In February, ARD and ZDF switched to HDTV-control operation. Via satellite, the first HD and HD ZDF were immediately welcomed in the best picture quality that cable operators are fed only gradually, the HDTV channels ARD and ZDF in their networks. In any case, viewers had to get active if their HD receiver not independently verified the existence of new TV channels regularly. The easiest way to see ARD and ZDF in HD quality, is running an automatic station search. Read the rest of this entry »

Google fails in its initiative and will not sell more Nexus One in your webshop

Google to sell directly through the Google web Nexus One in an attempt to give a better start to the product, not something that the major mobile operators in the United States will do exactly jumping for joy. If this is joined by the dismal financial results of the initiative, it is not surprising the decision to throw the shop close to the Mountain View launched in his day.

The promised to be a revolution in the distribution system of mobile devices has exceeded the 200,000 units sold short, so we can speak of a relative failure that has caused Google to reconsider the conditions for placing the terminal, some of which did not meet adequate guarantees complete customer satisfaction.

Gestate the idea, to finish up the project and directly selling our own product, including distribution systems, are too many stages to be covered by a company specialized in another field. The failures in logistics and resolution of incidents were gradually undermining the credibility of the service.

Reason to decide to step back and settle for the “traditional” method of working with various operators, as they are currently doing in the European market. Read the rest of this entry »
