Sunnyvale, CA – July 26, 2011 — QuickLogic Corporation (NASDAQ: QUIK), the leader in low power Customer Specific Standard Products (CSSPs), is proud to announce the receipt of the first volume production order for VEE and DPO technologies for the new Pantech Tablet Phone dual-core Snapdragon smartphone which has been released this month in South Korea.
VEE allows Tablet Phone users a great viewing experience with the WVGA resolution, 5-inch LCD display in all viewing conditions, in contrast to other smartphones whose viewability “washes out” in challenging ambient light situations. DPO technology enables Pantech to provide Tablet Phone users a product with a greatly extended single-charge battery life, which is especially important on a smartphone that features typically higher-power consuming items such as a 5” display and 1.5GHz dual-core processor.
“OEMs and ODMs focused on improving the user experience are constantly looking for solutions to improve outdoor display visibility and extended battery life,” said Brian Faith, VP of worldwide sales and marketing for QuickLogic. “We are very excited to announce our first smartphone production win with VEE and DPO alongside Pantech, and look forward to many more in the future.”
