What will you focus on in the coming year? Count CES technology miracle

Las Vegas Consumer Electronics Show (CES) is the best place to enjoy the latest consumer electronics market and future technological wonders, find the most interesting things is a difficult process, but fortunately, the iSuppli company to help you do this a tiring work, the next year, you should pay attention to.

The LG navigation device will indicate the route to the nearest store

LG said on CES, the first half of 2008 will be launched in the United States and the world, including six personal navigation equipment (PND) a product line. ISuppli expects the LG to establish a good brand image through television and mobile phones, will stimulate consumer demand for its stylish PND.

Digital copyright

Motorola introduced how its set-top box can exchange content with smartphones, laptops and other portable multimedia devices. Information assurance and digital rights management (DRM) has become a barrier to the integration of multimedia, which hinders the storage price, wireless network bandwidth, screen size, battery life or equipment costs.

Intelligent mobile phone

Manufacturers are expected to be held in February GSMA Global Conference on mobile communications (that is, the previous 3GSM Global Conference) published a lot of information related to the phone. In this CES, the number of mobile phone news release and product launch is not much.

However, iSuppli believes that a variety of mobile phones will blossom. Some mobile phone will only provide voice function, some will use mobile phone to become the best, such as mobile phone, mobile phone camera navigation, mobile phone, mobile phone, music video broadcast multi contact mobile phone, mobile phone or integration. This means that today's popular mobile phone will soon be replaced.

Wireless home

According to the dynamic shown on CES, it seems that all wireless families will soon become a reality. Wireless connectivity in the home is becoming the standard in the following applications:

Connect the PC to the camera, iPod, mouse, keyboard, camera, Internet and LCD photo frame

Home stereo body to surround sound speakers, as well as in the yard or other rooms in the speaker connection

Set top box to home TV connection

The connection of most TV sets to the set-top box is important for the video supply chain, including:

Reduce the installation cost of cable / Satellite TV operators

Drive home surround sound and wall mounted TV demand

Competitive pressure on suppliers of cables and accessories

Embedded connectivity components market expansion

Looks like iPhone

LG said in February it will launch its full touch, appearance similar to iPhone products. LG's suggested retail price is $250, while iPhone's price is $399. Is HTC, impressiveness, Samsung and LG are currently in Europe and Asia to supply a full touch screen mobile phone.

IPhone's multi touch projection capacitor system creates an attractive interface, but this is just one of many touch technologies.

Expect touch

A new display technology involves placing a touch sensor directly into the pixel /cELl, which brings a thinner and lighter touch screen solution. ISuppli know that there are several companies in the development of sensor-in-cell, but because of the cost and technical problems, the technology will take one or two years to achieve a considerable degree of commercialization.

TI show 3D

TI has demonstrated 3D movies and video games on a digital light processing (DLP) TV with enhanced processing capabilities. Even wearing 3D glasses, this experience is also very attractive. TI is optimistic that this technology may be implemented in two years after commercialization. Technical requirements include DLP TV in the new software, used to produce a special camera depth of field, two times the bandwidth and refresh faster tv.

MPEG-4 system bandwidth saving

Thomson exhibited a set of MPEG-4 systems that use 6Mbit/ seconds of bandwidth to deliver the same HD (HD) TV experience, while others require 8Mbit/ seconds. In this case, the increase in processing capacity to some extent reduces the bandwidth requirements.

Another example of compression is that now only 500Mbytes can be stored in a screen can be 3.5 inches below the screen to see clearly, the equivalent of a capacity of 4Gbyte on the memory card to save the eight movies.

DirecTV test PPV video service

DirecTV's Pay-Per-View (PPV) video service is undergoing beta testing, which allows viewers to use remote control to select a variety of content / movies sent via the Internet to their set-top boxes. The popularity of this video service will require the bandwidth of Verizon and Att Corporation (AT&T) wired infrastructure to increase to about 1-3Mbit/ seconds, the length of each film is 1.5 hours.

OLED TV

SONY officially launched its 11 inch OLED TV, the price of up to $2500, higher than the Japanese price. OLED TV picture is beautiful, and the thickness is very thin, but in the next few years, due to the lack of capacity and difficult to mass production of TV panels. Samsung SDI shows a 31 inch OLED panel, indicating that the size of this panel can be expanded, but the company said it would not really enter the market before 2010.

Corelle announces Jade Technology

The United States Corelle company participated in a press conference held during the CES, the meeting announced the Jade, which is used for low temperature polysilicon (LTPS) of the new glass technology for the realization of small displays. The company also disclosed its new packaging / sealing technology for OLED. OLED is more sensitive to oxygen and water vapor than liquid crystal.
