How is the trend of Wearable Display Market in the Coming Years?

Image
The growing popularity of smartwatches, fitness monitors and other wearable applications is driving up shipments of the displays used in these devices, from 34 million units in 2015 to 39 million in 2016. Nearly six out of 10 displays used in wearable devices in 2015 were active-matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) panels used in smartwatches, according to IHS Inc. (NYSE: IHS), the leading global source of critical information and insight. “Smartwatch manufacturers are increasingly turning to AMOLED displays because they are thinner, lighter, have high color-performance and consume less power than other types of displays,” said Jerry Kang, principal analyst for IHS Technology . “This trend will continue in 2016, since flexible AMOLED display free-form design process enables narrower form factors and even folding bezels.” Apple, Samsung Electronics, LG Electronics, and Microsoft have all adopted flexible AMOLED displays for their smartwatches.

What does In-Cell Technology mean?

Image
In-cell technology refers to a standard of displays that emerged in 2012 and allow mobile devices, such as smartphones, to have thinner form factors. They also allow devices to keep a low weight even when the display increases in size. The term in-cell display emerged in 2012 in reports that Apple's successor to the iPhone 4S would include this new technology , thus reducing the thickness of the screen. In-cell displays are revolutionary in the sense that they combine a digitizer, use touch input, and integrate an LCD screen into a single-layer display . Some reports also suggest that in-cell technology displays provide better resolution compared to standard LCD screens.

What‘s different from IPS matrices and TN Film panels?

Image
In Plane Switching (IPS - also known as 'Super TFT') technology was developed by Hitachi in 1996 to try and solve the two main limitations of TN Film matrices at the time, those being small viewing angles and low-quality color reproduction.  The name In-Plane Switching comes from the crystals in the cells of the IPS panel lying always in the same plane and being always parallel to the panel’s plane (if we don’t take into account the minor interference from the electrodes).  When voltage is applied to a cell, the crystals of that cell all make a 90-degrees turn. By the way, an IPS panel lets the backlight pass through in its active state and shutters it in its passive state (when no voltage is applied), so if a thin-film transistor crashes, the corresponding pixel will always remain black, unlike with TN matrices. IPS matrices differ from TN Film panels not only in the structure of the crystals, but also in the placement of the electrodes – both electrodes are on

What to Do When I Drop Smartphone in Water?

Image
1. Grab it! Whether you drop your phone in a pool or it goes for a swim in the porcelain throne, the most important thing to do is grab it. The longer your precious handset takes a bath, the more likely water is to get inside of and ruin it. Get your phone out of the water right away, and there’s a good chance it will be fine. Of course, if your phone falls into a well or something like that, cut your losses and forget about it. I don’t need anyone blaming me for some kind of Baby Jessica situation. 2. Turn it off If you grab your phone and it’s still turned on, turn it off as fast as you can. Keeping your handset on while its wet is a surefire way to short its circuit board and ruin it for good. If your phone’s screen was off and when it hit the water, but you’re not sure whether the phone powered off or the screen is just blank, see if you can wake it by quickly pressing the power button. Should your phone wake up, shut it down immediately. If it doesn’t wake up,

What Are The Parts Inside A Cell Phone?

Image
There are two types of parts in all cell phones External parts Internal parts External Parts The external parts consist of snap on covers (casing) which can be detached and replaced by hand with the help of opening tools. Internal parts PCB: The green or blue coloured board inside a cell phone is called the PCB (Printed Circuit Board). It is also called motherboard. It is the most important part in a cell phone. All the ICs which perform various functions are fixed on this circuit board. All the parts are attached to this board. It is what an engine is to a car. Battery: It supplies power to the cell phone. In most phones the battery is easily removable after removing the back cover. In others, you will need to dismantle the entire handset to remove it. The output voltage of a cell phone battery is either 3.7V DC or 3.8V DC. Mic: It is also called microphone and mouth piece. It converts voice into electrical signal. Its function is to send our voice to the called
