Boards/Backplanes
Tailored backplane for monolithic microLED displays
Plessey Semiconductors has announced a strategic partnership with Jasper Display Corp (JDC). Plessey is going to utilise JDC’s innovative silicon backplane to drive its own monolithic microLED displays manufactured on its proprietary GaN-on-Silicon (GaN-on-Si) wafers. Unveiled by JDC earlier this year at CES in Las Vegas, the eSP70 silicon backplane is tailored for the needs of microLED devices.
Next-gen HDMI interface board with optimised form factor
Provider of video interface solutions, AIVION, has announced the next generation of the HDMI interfaces for the Tamron Ultra-Compact Camera Modules MP1010M-VC and MP1110M-VC. The Interface Board TL8652 can be mounted on the side of the camera.
Sensor demo boards cover ambient-light applications
The latest Vishay SensorXplorer kit and 10 compatible sensor demo boards for ambient-light, proximity and bio-sensing applications are available at RS Components (RS). The associated sensors, available from RS in small packs for prototyping or tape-and-reel for production, meet project needs from proof of concept to volume assembly.
