CEA-Leti Combines Integrated Optics and Holography in Novel Lens-Free Augmented Reality Technology

SAN FRANCISCO – Feb. 6, 2019 – Leti, an institute of CEA-Tech, has developed a novel retinal-projection concept for augmented reality (AR) uses based on a combination of integrated optics and holography. The lens-free optical system uses disruptive technologies to overcome the limitations of existing AR glasses, such as limited field-of-view and bulky optical systems.

TVs and smartphones that project digital images emit light all around them, as quasi-isotropic sources. Because the images are projected generally over the air without directivity, many viewers see the same image. In typical AR glasses, images are transmitted close to the … Read More → "CEA-Leti Combines Integrated Optics and Holography in Novel Lens-Free Augmented Reality Technology"

Infineon extends its portfolio of CoolSiC™ MOSFET power modules for UPS and energy storage applications

Munich, Germany – 31 January 2019 – Addressing the fast growing demand for Silicon Carbide (SiC) solutions, Infineon Technologies AG (FSE: IFX / OTCQX: IFNNY) launches new devices in the 1200V CoolSiC™ MOSFET family. The CoolSiC Easy 2B power modules enable engineers to reduce system costs by increasing power density. In addition, they can also lower operational costs significantly. Owing to about 80 % lower switching losses compared to silicon IGBTs, inverter efficiency levels exceeding 99 % can be reached. Because of the specific SiC properties, the same or even higher switching-frequency operation can be realized. This is particularly attractive for fast switching applications such as Read More → "Infineon extends its portfolio of CoolSiC™ MOSFET power modules for UPS and energy storage applications"
