OMRON equipped with flexible optical wiring module on the phone

OMRON in the "CEATEC JAPAN 2005" on the display for wiring module and flexible optical waveguide. The module is equipped with a folding mobile phone, and the body part is connected with the display part through an optical wiring module. In addition to the optical wiring module which is equipped with the mobile phone, a physical model of the optical wiring module which can reduce the number of signal transmitting packages (or signal receiving packages) is also displayed.

Will consider the application in mobile phone

Recently, with the improvement of mobile phone performance, the amount of data is also growing rapidly. If we continue to use electronic transmission, we will soon face the limits of transmission capacity and EMI. OMRON optical transmission technology as a means to cross this limit, the demonstration of the specific application examples. The module is designed for the mobile phone hinge position, from the lower side of the board equipped with a microcontroller to send the signal to the upper side of the LCD panel.

In the trial sample, the optical wiring module is used in the single channel communication of the 1 channels. Light wiring part width 1mm * 0.15mm * 60MM (thick long flexible optical waveguide module () ends with the signal transmission and signal receiving package package). The electrical signal is converted into optical signal transmission package part of the width of 8mm * 1mm * thick long 11mm, the electrical signal into optical signal transmission package part width 5mm * 1mm * long 10mm. In the development of the optical wiring module, these figures are wide 3mm * thick 1mm * long 6mm.

High speed transmission 1Gbit/ seconds

Digital transmission speed up to 1Gbit/ seconds. Compared with the current electronic wiring 20Mbit/ seconds to 80Mbit/ seconds compared to the speed has been greatly improved. In this way, the following advantages are formed - "the original image quality compared with the static image quality image can be improved". The required space is smaller than the electronic wiring. The cost is said to be comparable to that of the original electronic wiring.

The optical waveguide "of the company's SPICA (Stacked Polymer optical IC/Advanced Technology) as the polymer optical waveguide using a mold copy production process. The transmission loss is 0.07dB/cm (wavelength 850nm) on a thin film sample of 1mm x 0.15mm x 120mm. Minimum radius of curvature 1mm, minimum bending length 5mm, durability are 1 million times.
