TPO developed a Self-Refreshing-Pixel (SRP)-Memory In Pixel (MIP) on a 3.47-inch nHD LTPS TFT Transflective display at 211ppi resolution with 1mw power consumption in reflective mode: a full screen display.   ChuNan‧Taiwan, April 21, 2009 –TPO Displays Corp. (TPO) today announced its new development based on TPO’s proprietary LTPS-based SRP-MIP technology, enabling a display with high transmittance at low power consumption for mobile devices.   TPO has been exploring MIP technology since 2004 and introduced its first design for mobile phone’s sub-panel TFT display sized at 1.36-inch QQVGA TFT display in June, 2007. With further enhancements, TPO has successfully migrated this technology to mobile phone main-display with its first demo panel sized at a 3.47-inch in 640x360.   The 3.47-inch nHD demo display has proved the key feature of TPO’s SRP-MIP technology- low power consumption, indicating only 1mW power consumed in MIP reflective mode at a full screen display. It has two major advantages: Firstly, it extends the battery life of a mobile device and secondly, it creates an additional benefit– a full screen display. The users of the mobile devices can enjoy full screen images in a reflective mode without sacrificing battery life.   By simplifying the pixel memory circuit,…

ZHUHAI, China, January 25, 2007 -- Actions Semiconductor Co., Ltd. (Nasdaq: ACTS), one of China's leading fabless semiconductor companies, today announced that it has introduced a new ear-friendly technology, Actions Ear-Friendly, or AEF Technology, designed to help promote safe listening levels for users of portable music players that utilize Actions Semiconductor products.http://www.actions-semi.com AEF technology enables automatic control of volume and TSL (Time Spent Listening), thereby assisting and reminding users to protect their hearing. Users can set their protection level through the menu function. Moreover, they will be advised whether the current volume is within a range considered acceptable and healthy. Compared with previous versions of ear protection technology, AEF will have no effect on the audio experience. As such, Actions' products featured with advanced audio technology, such as SRS (Sound Retrieval System) technology and this new AEF technology, will bring users cinema-like experience while effectively protecting their hearing. The AEF technology will be gradually implemented across Actions' entire product line. Initially it will be adopted in the Series 9 and 7500 products by the end of January, and then in Series 13 by the end of March. ?s a global leading PMP SoC provider, Actions values product security and the…
