Wireless HDTV semiconductor solutions provider Amimon has announced an enormous increase in demand for its WHDI (wireless home digital interface) technology. Consumer electronics manufacturers Asustek, BOE, Changhong, Galaxy, Haier, Hisense, Malata, Panda Group, TCL, Winstar and 35.com, as well as multiple accessory manufacturers (among others) have rolled out new WHDI products using Amimon's WHDI chipsets, such as wireless HDTVs with embedded WHDI, PC-to-TV adapters, tablets with WHDI embedded and WHDI-based sleeves for mobile phones.With this announcement, Amimon revealed that four out of five of the largest Chinese TV companies are now developing products with its WHDI technology. Several of these products are already on the market with numerous more to begin shipping in the first part of 2011.As WHDI applications expand, a large number of the leading device manufacturers are already offering WHDI based modules and products, including leading companies such as Askey, Cameo, Foxconn, Gemtek, Gospel, LG Innotek, LiteOn, QMI and Zinwell. With this ecosystem of multiple ODM's and OEM's, WHDI is ready for mass adoption during 2011, Amimon believes.WHDI enables consumers to wirelessly connect all of the devices in the home to their HDTV's to access all of their video and interactive content, including Internet content. Consumers can now purchase games, HD videos and other content for their PC, tablet or mobile phone and instantly bring it to the TV. With WHDI-compliant devices, consumers just need to look for the WHDI logo to ensure that all of their devices will be able to work together.WHDI reliably delivers full HD image quality and 3D content. Also, WHDI's low latency enables consumers to wirelessly connect and play PC and portable-device games on HDTVs. WHDI's low power consumption and small footprint make it ideal for portable, battery-powered devices."The extensive development of new WHDI source devices and HDTVS shows the growing momentum of the WHDI ecosystem – where all products can interconnect," said Leslie Chard, president of WHDI LLC. "The variety of products demonstrates WHDI's robust capabilities and key differentiator: WHDI is the only technology that delivers wireless HDTV connectivity in all use-cases."WHDI is the dominant wireless video standard in the market, Amimon claimed. An industry report from West Technology Research Solutions (WTRS) stated that WHDI technology will grow from nearly 70% of the 2010 market share for wireless video products to over 75% of the 2015 market. This extensive commitment from these manufacturers reinforces this market forecast for Amimon's WHDI technology.Amimon's wireless technology is the basis of the WHDI standard, which delivers the highest image quality for in-room and multi-room HD wireless connections including uncompressed 1080p/60Hz HD video. WHDI utilizes a 40MHz channel in the 5GHz unlicensed band, and includes support for all 3D formats required by the HDMI 1.4a specification and range of over 100 feet (30 meters) through obstacles and walls. WHDI also supports HDCP revision 2.0, providing superior security and digital content protection, and full compatibility with HDMI.

Instead of building a fourth 12-inch (300mm) fab, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) might prefer to have its first 18-inch (450mm) production fab to be called "Fab 16" equipped for 20nm and below processes, according to Nobunaga Chai, analyst for semiconductor sat Digitimes Research. However, it all depends on whether fab tool suppliers are willing to devote their resources to supporting a limited number of players who can afford the costly investment necessary to build the next-generation facilities, said Chai.The market has to be big enough to encourage them to produce equipment for 18-inch facilities, and ultimately begin shipping in volume, Chai continued. If Intel and Samsung Electronics make their 18-inch fab plans more practical, TSMC might have a chance to receive full support from its tool providers.Around mid-2008, before the credit crunch, TSMC along with Intel and Samsung announced they had reached an agreement on the need for industry-wide collaboration to target a transition to larger, 450mm-sized wafers starting in 2012. Some believe that the target to begin the transition may have revised to a later year.At an annual supply chain management forum held earlier in December, TSMC's presentation materials mentioned that construction on a new 12-inch fab called Fab 16 is scheduled to kick off in 2014. But the foundry has not yet announced plans for Fab 16.A recent EETimes report quoted an executive at Intel as saying that the chip giant is building a new fab that will be 450mm compatible but could also support 300mm tools. To be known as D1X, the fab is slated for R&D startup in 2013.TSMC now runs two 12-inch fabs, Fab 12 and Fab 14, where the foundry continues to expand advanced process capacity. Fab 15, which is under construction at the Central Taiwan Science Park (CTSP), will commence volume production in the first quarter of 2012.

With T-Mobile's launch of Femtocell services targeting enterprises in Britain, Femtocell is now not only a service for the consumer and household market. Along with the expansion of its market, Femtocell is also seeing changes in its supply chain.A year after joining the Femto Forum, Broadcom, through the acquisition of chipmaker Percello, has entered the Femto AP (access point) chip market to compete with Qualcomm, Texas Instruments (TI) and others. The presence of these major chipmakers in the market means that although the present market size is only about one million units, significant growth can be expected in the near future.More telecom carriers are also entering the Femtocell market. In the third quarter of 2010, Japan's KDDI, Greece's Vodafone, Britain's T-Mobile and Spain's Movistar kicked off their Femtocell services. T-Mobile's move into the enterprise segment shows that telecoms now see Femtocell not only as a tool for improving signal reception for ordinary users, but also as an opportunity similar to that of RIM's Blackberry for increasing market shares through segmentation. The cumulative number of newcomers who had expressed interest in constructing Femtocell networks increased to 22 in the third quarter of 2010, six more than the previous quarter. The growing number of Femtocell players means a market with great potential and the likeliness of a fast rise in the number of users. In addition, the Femto Forum saw its membership grow to 56 telecoms in the third quarter of 2010, covering 1.55 billion users, or 33% of the global mobile phone user base, up from the previous 1.44 billion. Of the 15 seats on the Femto Forum's board of directors, four are occupied by telecom carriers - AT&T, Comcast, Softbank and Vodafone. These figures attest to telecoms' increasing interest in Femtocell. The monthly rates of recently launched Femtocell services are slightly lower than those in the past, and the prices of Femto APs have also been decreasing due to lower hardware and chip prices. But the number of simultaneous users allowed on a single Femto AP remains at four - the same as that when the service was first launched in 2007 - although the latest chips already support eight or even 16 users. In the past, the number was restricted by hardware support, but now it is because telecoms have yet to find a proper service model.Apart from the service rates and prices, there are some other issues that will play crucial roles in the development of Femtocell. The market needs to see whether telecoms will continue to expand their Femtocell services and extend the penetration of Femtocell APs. The big three telecoms in the US have been running Fetomcell services since 2007 and the number of Femtocell APs in the US reached more than 350,000 as of October 2010, surpassing the total number of large-scale base stations (both macro and micro, totaling 256,000) in the country. The number of Femto APs is expected to top 500,000 in the first quarter of 2011. The vast number of Femtocell APs means that the service and penetration is growing fast. But telecoms will have to address the issue of interference between base stations and Femtocell APs as the number of the latter continues to expand.

The excitement sparked by Apple iPhone's touch screen has created much hype about projected capacitive touch technology. However, in terms of market share or applications, projected capacitive touch is not as popular as resistive touch. Therefore, despite projected capacitive touch's advantages, such as multiple-touch, gesture recognition, response time, sensitivity, durability and optical properties, it is necessary to rationally analyze what possible effects these features may have on the overall touch performance. Issues that need to be addressed are as follows:1. How to judge touch performance? Is there any criterion?2. What is the difference when projected capacitive touch is applied to panels of different sizes? The difference between small-size panels, (3.5" and 4.3"), medium-size (7", 8" and 10.1"), and large-sizes (12.1", 13.3", 15" and bigger).3. In order to minimize noise, how do we carry out system integration and integrate individual modules (PCB & wiring materials) with touch panels as a whole?4. Environmental factors. How to work around them?5. OthersFor system integrators, the above mentioned are closely linked to the viability, implementability and complexity of a touch technology, and of course these form a cost issue.This article will address certain challenges and problems that system integrators would be confronted with when designing/implementing projected capacitive touch. Overlooking them or leaving them unsolved may result in serious problems giving rise to poor touch performance or even malfunction.Articles regarding projected capacitive touch technology can be found in many magazines, newspapers, websites and documents from various touch panel makers/vendors. For consistency, this article will deal only with the working principle of projected capacitive touch. For more details about it, please refer to the various possible sources mentioned above or visit AMT's website at http://www.amtouch.com.tw/.Let's look at the illustrations below, which can be found on AMT's website | Projected Capacitive Touch Screen | Basic.Figure 1Figure 2Figure 1 shows the interleaving electrode patterns and the signal acquisition of an average projected capacitive touch panel. In short, the electrode layers respectively marked in red and blue and oriented orthogonally to each other will charge or discharge their own axes. And theoretically, the values of the capacitances are much close to each other when the touch panel is not touched. However, the yellow-marked parts in Figure 1 show that when the touch panel is touched by a finger or contacted with a conductive object, the capacitances will change, and the touched position can be located by measuring the capacitance change.There are several ways to trigger and measure the capacitance change of a projected capacitive touch panel such as by interleaving measurement based on the property of triggered signals. With capacitance measurement and consideration of panel structure, functions such as single-touch and multiple-touch can be realized, and Ghost Point can be eliminated. (Please see related published articles for details.)The inclusion of a projected capacitive touch screen into a system requires the following sub-systems:1. A projected capacitive touch panel2. Touch controller or control board, which is connected to the system and controls the touch panel.3. Firmware: A control software that is embedded inside the control board.4. Driver: The program that is installed on the system to interact with the firmware.System integrators should at least be aware of the following:1. Mechanical design, which underlies the firm installation of the touch panel, control board, and wiring.2. Touch kits placement inside the system, which should minimize the interferences from other internal devices.As the capacitance change that a human finger can trigger is merely a few pF (pico Farad), not only the measurement accuracy is important but also the treatment to those unfiltered signals plays a decisive role for the performance of a projected capacitive touch. Such treatment should include signal processing, noise immunity against interferences and the algorithm of control firmware. And as the differences between single-touch detection and multiple-touch detection have something to do with the algorithm of firmware, the system integrators have the following issues to consider:1. Basic touch performanceRegarding signal transmission, although the report rate decides the touch performance, the "quality" of signal transmission cannot be underestimated. For example, the touch performance would not be good enough even if the report rate is high.The touch performance concerns the percentage of the normal signals that are correctly read and analyzed through measuring the self-noise and a variety of noises spurred by the environment surroundings. Basic touch performance is the basis for calculating the "effective signals."To improve basic touch performance, what system integrators can do are:- Observe the signals when the panel is not touched, so as to analyze how a noise is interpreted as a signal.- Observe the signals triggered by the touches on specific touch positions for the same time length, so as to analyze how noise is triggered.- Take a straight line drawing test and curve line drawing test with the same speed rate, so as to analyze how noise is triggered and also the linearity.- Observe multiple-touch performance, touch-zone differences and inspect certain properties.In conclusion, before a touch panel can be integrated with the other parts of a system, the basic touch performance must be enhanced to certain standard.2. Size versus touch performanceBetween capacitance reading and algorithm, it is not proportional but forming a complex geometrical progression based on panel sizes, report rates and some other factors. Knowing this is very important because it will help system integrators with selecting and combining touch IC and adjusting firmware performance, and further defining the overall touch control performance. For bigger panel sizes, since the materials selection and wiring layout are more demanding, the system integration of bigger panel sizes is generally more difficult than that of smaller sizes. It is thus better to gradually include each subsystems into the system one by one and step by step while also seeking the assistance from testing instruments more often. As mentioned in the "basic touch performance" section, it would not be hard to find the solution if system integrators act cautiously.3. NoiseSystem integrators must be prepared for "debugging." A noise that does not make much impact on an ordinary digital circuit often causes a projected capacitive touch screen to false action when contacted by a human finger. Noise has always been the formidable enemy of projected capacitive touch.System integrators should first understand that the objects noise can possibly interfere cover the touch panel, touch controller, wiring material and so on. And for a projected capacitive touch system, there are quite many noise sources in the system to impact the touch panel. To overcome it, system integrators can first focus on the power supply, the wiring/circuiting and also on the surrounding low-frequency electromagnetic waves because resolving them will substantially smoothen the system integration. And of course the debugging varies from case to case. But remember not to damage the signals when eliminating noise since they are almost in the same scale and needs extra care.4. Definition of operation environmentIt is a very interesting question to ask if a projected capacitive touch screen can function well when having water on the surface. The answer is possibly yes, yet on conditions. As it has been resolved for a projected capacitive touch screen to work with water drops on the surface, system integrators need to know the operation environment for his product to make correct selection of touch technology. Generally speaking, the performance a projected capacitive touch product is subject to panel sizes, sensitivity, panel thickness, humidity, power supply and low-frequency electromagnetic waves.And of course the countermeasures differ from case to case.As it is beyond the reach of this article to fully reflect the actual situation of every matter concerned, system integrators would need to pay more attention and caution when seeking for appropriate solutions. This article aims to address the matters needing attention for projected capacitive touch system integrators. From this article, it is not hard to find that it in fact requires an overall product view to develop a projected capacitive touch system. And the key to fulfill this requirement is a professional touch panel manufacturer that specializes in touch total solution. Apex Material Technology Corporation has put in a lot of efforts in projected capacitive touch technology and is very experienced in providing touch total solution. At this moment when various projected capacitive touch applications emerge on market, AMT hopes this article can offer a few references that might be meaningful to system integrators.

Tokyo, Japan, November 11, 2010 – Tokyo Electron Limited (TEL) and Seiko Epson Corporation (Epson) announced the conclusion of a joint development agreement for organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display manufacturing technology.Processes for forming a uniform film of organic material on substrates are essential in the manufacture of OLED displays, and the technique currently in general use is vacuum thermal evaporation (VTE), which uses masks in a vacuum to form the film on the substrate. However, manufacturers must improve productivity and develop efficient manufacturing technologies, such as those incorporating next-generation inkjet methods for film formation, before volume production of OLED displays can become a reality.Epson established organic material uniform film forming technology using the inkjet method and possesses many technologies central to the manufacture of OLED displays. Epson has also accumulated expertise in industrial inkjet technologies including the development and sale of large-size application devices for LCD TV color filter coating applicators.TEL develops and sells products including etch/ash systems and coater/developers for state-of-the-art ultra-large substrates in its flat panel display (FPD) production equipment business. TEL also has service bases around the world to enable provision of a range of high-quality services.This joint development project will make use of the strengths of each company to integrate OLED display manufacturing technologies using Epson's inkjet method with TEL's production equipment technology. The two companies will undertake the joint development with the aim of creating next-generation OLED display manufacturing technologies as a total solution package.

Broadcom Corporation has introduced a customized, highly integrated and cost-efficient DOCSIS Ethernet over Coax (EoC) for Ethernet Passive Optical Network (EPON) solution in support of China's Next Generation Broadcast (NGB) initiative that will help to drive the convergence of telecommunications, Internet and cable television networks in China.With a portfolio of high performance DOCSIS 2.0 and 3.0 cable modem, coax media converter (CMC), EPON and set-top box (STB) technologies, Broadcom is playing a key role in enabling the convergence of voice, video and data services in China and will be demonstrating these industry-leading solutions at this week's International Coverage and Transmission (ICTC) Conference in Beijing, booth #203.China's State Council has designated accelerated triple network convergence as an important policy in 2010, and local scholars estimate that triple network convergence will induce investment and consumption of 700 billion yuan (about $103 billion), Broadcom cited Digitimes Research as indicating.To help advance China's network convergence, DOCSIS provides a standardized technology for triple play services over cable networks with interoperability and powerful quality of service (QoS) methods that ensure a high-quality TV, broadband and telephone experience.Before the introduction of Broadcom's DOCSIS EOC for EPON solution, DOCSIS was considered too expensive to deploy in China's multi-dwelling units (MDUs).However, leveraging already deployed and successful EPON technology in China, Broadcom has developed a highly integrated DOCSIS EoC for EPON solution that will allow Chinese cable operators to take advantage of the benefits of DOCSIS while providing an economical architecture for implementing triple play services to MDUs throughout the country.The Broadcom DOCSIS EoC for EPON solution is a family of products that includes CMC, DOCSIS 2.0 and 3.0 cable modem and STB system-on-a-chip (SoC) solutions. The solution's CMC transitions DOCSIS customer premises equipment (CPE) from the MDU coaxial network to the EPON fiber network. It features Broadcom's TurboQAM technology that supports downstream speeds up to 400 Mbps, which is a 25% improvement, and upstream speeds up to 160 Mbps, which is a 33% improvement over downstream and upstream speeds in support of the DOCSIS 3.0 standard.The solution also provides advanced ingress and impulse noise mitigation technologies for S-CDMA (synchronous code division multiple access) transmission mode. Broadcom's S-CDMA Ingress Noise Cancellation or SINC technology allows operators to maximize use of the reverse path bandwidth for DOCSIS EoC applications for delivering fast, reliable and interactive services.By leveraging EPON standards and customizing DOCSIS as a cable access solution, Broadcom's complete EoC for EPON chipset and software solutions specifically meets the low cost infrastructure requirements for deploying triple play services to MDUs in China.

Taipei, Taiwan, October 21, 2010 - LED production value is projected to reach US$8.25 billion in 2010, up 55.6% from a year ago on the rapid growth of the LED TV segment. LED TV shipments in 2010 are estimated to increase 10-fold on year from 2009 to 37.20 million units, according to a recent DIGITIMES Research Special Report titled "LED: TV and lighting overview."From 2011 to 2013, global LED production value will rise by at least 25% every year and surpass US$20 billion.By application, portable devices have been the mainstream in the high brightness LED market, accounting for 36% of the market in 2009. However, in 2010, due to a significant rise in LED TV demand, large-size LED backlight units (BLUs) will account for a 28% share, surpassing portable devices for the first time."Between 2011-2013, large-size LED BLUs will continue to represent the largest segment of the market, topping 41% in 2013," said Digitimes Research analyst Jessie Lin, who is author of the LED report. "In addition to the rise of LED TV applications, LED lighting will begin to replace conventional lighting technology in the market. LED lighting will grab more than 10% of the market starting in 2012 and quickly move up to 16% in 2013."However, while LED lighting's luminous efficiency is currently comparable to that of fluorescent lamps, LED lamps remain unpopular mainly because of their high costs. Obviously, high costs make it difficult to adopt LED lighting unless governments offer subsidies or consumers realize that total costs for LED lighting may not be higher if its power savings, longer service life, lower carbon emissions and other advantages are taken into consideration.The DIGITIMES Research Special Report provides an extensive overview of the high-brightness LED market, including a breakdown of the LED TV supply chain in Taiwan, Korea, Japan and China, an overview of government LED lighting policies by region, and a timeline for the transition to LEDs in the global lighting market.Source: Digitimes Research, October 2010For more information about the reportAbout DIGITIMES ResearchDIGITIMES Research is the research arm of DIGITIMES Inc., Taiwan's leading high-tech media outlet.

Following a Digitimes report on September 28 that Taiwan consumers are seeing their Windows Live Messenger accounts blocked due to entering a wrong password too many times, and despite officials from Microsoft saying the company is already working aggressively on the issue, many consumers still claim that the company is working too slowly and it seems that the company's official forums for Windows Live Messenger in both the US and Taiwan are being filled with complaints from users.Looking at the forum in the US, most threads appear to be from users unable to log in to their account because of the blockages, several of which have been marked indicating the problems have already been solved. But turning to previous pages, the number of threads that are still showing problems are a lot more than those checked. The same thing goes on the Taiwan forum.A Digitimes reader in Taiwan responded to our original report to comment on the issue:"I have to say after six days being unable to login to Hotmail, I am furious. Would you please escalate the issue through your media to make Microsoft feel that this is serious for it's user?"The users are feeling helpless, you can see the complaint on the website. People have trusted the service for over 10 years, their paper, email, file... business related, school related, or even medical related information are store on their server. All the sudden for no reason the service are being suspended. Called the Microsoft support, the answer is standard... to be patience, keep waiting. I know hotmail is beyond their support for Microsoft Taiwan. So what can we do? Nothing at all."I already submit the request like Microsoft told me to. But based on my understanding they need to check one request after one manually. How many are there and how long does it take? Hotmail has a reset password security scheme already, how come this is not working. Can I assume they completely lost our account information?"The industry is promoting cloud computing recently. This is the worse case for cloud computing application and could set back the cloud computing for 10 years."As a reporter, I appreciate every little thing you could have done for us."Microsoft has been working aggressively on its social network sites, aiming to compete against the giants Google and Yahoo, but its customer service handling of this incident has failed miserably; not only has the company not solved the cause of the problem, most of the users being blocked are still waiting for their problems to get solved.A successful social network site is propped up by its loyal supporters and users now can only hope Microsoft picks up its pace and does a full diagnosis over what is causing the problem, or they just have to move on to a new choice.

Several consumers in Taiwan, on a Chinese-language-based online discussion forum, claim that they have seen issues regarding the connection of their Windows Live Messenger as they are unable to log in even with correct username and password.They said after they entered the username and password, the program will simply give them an error message, stating that they have the wrong username and password as well as an error code 80048823.When contacting the company's technical support through phone, Microsoft provides a voice message asking consumers to refer to the company's webpage for its standard procedure to solve the issue, or they can search the company's technical support forum for further assistance; however, the solutions the company provides are unable to unlock the blocking accounts the users claimed.Some consumers claimed that they have been blocked from connection for three days and the company's customer service personnel are unable to provide any working solution.However, a few consumers have noted that they are already able to reconnect to the network, but most of the others are still seeing the issue troubling them.Commenting on the issue, Microsoft responded that the company is currently working aggressively to assist consumers to resume their account. The company pointed out that Windows Live Messenger has a tight security system, and the problem is triggered if users enter the wrong password too many times, and this is a measure that the company has taken to protect users' data. Microsoft also pointed out that several of the account blockings are caused by aggressive hacking activities recently.Microsoft also pointed out that if users forget the information they registered for the account, they can simply visit its support page (Chinese-language) and leave their current personal data to receive immediate assistance, or they can call its customer services for help as well.

Taipei, Taiwan, September 14, 2010 – Triple network convergence in China is expected to induce investment and consumption totaling about 688 billion yuan (about US$102 billion), according to a recent DIGITIMES Special Report titled "Network convergence in China: Government policy and market effects." The report indicates triple network convergence will stimulate development in the equipment manufacturing industry and information services industry, to the tune of 688 billion yuan of investment and consumption in the next three years, including 249 billion yuan for the construction of the IT service system for video content and 439 billion yuan for IT services and final end-user consumption. It will also create 200,000 job opportunities. The Chinese government has actively been pushing for the convergence of the country's three big networks - the Internet, telecom networks, and TV broadcasting networks - via various measures, most notably through the Triple Network Convergence Policy it laid out early in 2010. While the Triple Network Convergence Policy reiterates many government policies set out previously, one area that is expected to have significant effects on the market is the government's step to grant permission for TV broadcasting firms and telecom carriers to enter and do business in each other's realms. This DIGITIMES Research Special Report examines China's Triple Network Convergence Policy from a macro and micro point of view. In addition to outlining triple network convergence details, DIGITIMES Research analyzes the effects the promoted policies will have on players in China's telecom and broadcast industries. The report also highlights the business opportunities and challenges triple network convergence will have on the development of services such as broadband, IPTV, connected TV, mobile TV, and future physical network infrastructure, among other areas. State Council's push for accelerated triple network convergence More information about the report Questions addressed in the report Who are the key players in China's telecom and TV broadcast industries and how will Triple Network Convergence Policy affect their future business development? How has conflict between SARFT and MIIT, the respective government bodies charged with regulating China's broadcast and telecom industries, shaped the current market for converged network services, and how will Triple Network Convergence Policy change the dynamic between these two bodies? What are the barriers for telecom carriers in starting an IPTV business in China, and how will these challenges be overcome under triple network convergence? How will triple network convergence in China affect development and investment opportunities for services including mobile TV, connected TV and cable TV broadband access? What are the expected business opportunities in various provinces and local markets under triple network convergence in China?
