News Focus: The Fire Next Time? Last week’s media feeding frenzy over Dell’s recall of 4.1 million laptop battery packs, followed by this week’s recall of 1.8 million Apple battery packs has some worrisome aspects. I wish I knew more than I do at this point. Here’s the short version: if you abuse a lithium battery, it can experience a “discharge with flame” and you can’t put it out...
September 1, 2006[Component View] 5-mm Thick PLED Displays Replace LCDs
The models in a new line of polymer LED (PLED) displays from One Stop Displays measure only 5 mm thick with lighting. Many systems that use reflective LCD technologies can't expand into backlit technologies because of the thickness added by backlit modules. These new polymer LED displays act as 16-by-2 drop-in replacements for comparably sized reflective LCDs. The OSD1602-3 is one of five sizes of 16- by 2-character yellow-green emissive PLED displays that can add lighting...
