New ultra thin flexible screens available resolution up to molecular level

Screen is our one of the most direct ways to manipulate electronic devices, but also the power consumption of electronic equipment users. Hermes iPhone 6 plus flip case

Because of this, electronic-ink screen with its low power consumption and features such as perception and to obtain reuse. E-ink screen is one of the Kindle ebook selling tips.

Screen vendors at the present stage the main problem was how to color, life and balance between the thickness of three indicators. But the problem with the advent of a new ultra-thin flexible screen solution.

New ultra thin flexible screens available, resolution up to molecular level

United Kingdom, the daily mail reported, Sweden University of Chalmers in placing conductive polymer Nano accidentally got on a great new flexible screen performance. Because the polymer itself has a light absorption characteristics, so will affect the color rendering, either through human intervention displayed a variety of color effects.

The screen has the following characteristics: relying on reflected ambient light color, continued to perform well in bright light and only one micron, and can bend. In other words, this technology brings breakthrough resolution--up to the molecular level, compared with 2k, 4k, weak burst. Hermes iPhone 6 Plus leather case

Researchers said: "this paper thin display works and the Kindle electronic ink screen is similar. Normal monitor is power point debut pigment particles, while the Kindle is by reflecting ambient light to render color. "Screen in the Sun become smeared, because there is no screen light comparable to sunlight, Kindle can mimic paper shows that performed well in bright light. But this new technology of lower energy than the Kindle, only the latter one-tenth.

Currently, the simulation LED by researchers in experimental mixed red, green and blue pixels to display color, will continue in the future to explore broader display. But the new screen is some distance from the real commercial.

AIR 052 For the future of intelligent driving what these companies are doing

Smart driving is a major direction to confirm no doubt, but if there is no hardware, software, and other aspects of the match, everything is just empty words. Back-end supply market has become a hot sweet pastry. On the smart drive special seminar at the CCF-GAIR Conference, these back-end suppliers will tell us they are intelligent handling of what efforts have been made in the future?

AIR 052 | For the future of intelligent driving, what these companies are doing?

(From left to right in the order given) telematics Industry Association (TIAA) Secretary-General Pang Chunlin, sagitar poly CEO Qiu Chunxin, Minieye CEO Liu Guoqing, Quanergy China General Manager Tang Jinsong, China Institute data principal data scientists Yin Xiangzhi and QNX company greater China General Manager Jay.

Pang Chunlin: introduction to your company.

Qiu Chunxin: sagitar poly is a focus on the laser-radar company. In 2014, we introduced the first LiDAR product, mainly used in the field of static mapping, modeling, at present we mainly focused on research and development and provide high performance, high production of laser radar unmanned.

Liu Guoqing: Minieye was established in April 2013, we focus on the perception of in-car technology, we hope that the contribution to the perception of automotive automation and unmanned.

Tang Jinsong: our company is Quanergy, based in the United States in Silicon Valley. Focus on the development of high performance, energy in the future of laser radar for mass production and related software, we cooperate with many manufacturers already have depth. LIDAR M8 many of our existing machinery is in use. We will be introducing a breakthrough solid state laser radar S3, will provide the industry with true energy production of high performance, high reliability laser radar.

Yin Xiangzhi: we are now artificial intelligence competition held in the contest we will provide 50,000 vehicle traveling data recorder experience, developing algorithms associated with smart drive contest.

Zhang Renjie: our operating system is widely used in the familiar variety of models, including BMW, Volkswagen and others, we have made many contributions in the field of new generation autopilot.

AIR 052 | For the future of intelligent driving, what these companies are doing?

Pang Chunlin: about Tesla's in China and the United States to see how?

Qiu Chunxin: this reflects the deficiencies of the Tesla drive is currently, probably because it hasn't been used laser radar, so the perceived shortcomings that led to the judgment of white body.

Liu Guoqing Tesla for automated driving capability requirements definition has problems, you need to explicitly define automatic driving scenes, and constantly experiments to test these features. Another point is to have a mechanism, through multi-sensor fusion--not only has radar, laser radar, a problem, others can be connected.

Tang Jinsong: from a technical point of view, it is because their system in strong light and side detection is not reliable enough. Need to guarantee the safety and reliability of the technology in the future, is coupled with a laser radar using sensor fusion--the forth, fifth-level goals, set the automatic driving mechanism to ensure security of the system.

Yin Xiangzhi: this incident highlights is at present the biggest obstacle AI: machines can only recognize what we taught and can't understand and judge the additional events. So algorithms need to identify towards understanding and awareness, so as to better prevent accidents from occurring.

Zhang Renjie: now our system security is divided into two types: functional security and system security. From the functional safety, Tesla in-vehicle systems that are not currently and system security, there is no backup, so this system is both a very weak.

Pang Chunlin: smart driving the car does need a black box in the future? Judging the signal instruction trace sources and what is the device? Moschino iPad 4 case

Qiu Chunxin now found to be judged by means of vehicle traveling data recorder. Installed on the driverless car is relatively large in the black box, when the accident happened, it can record from a context-aware information, DMU, motion control, and define responsibilities. In the era of unmanned, LiDAR is not only in the car, also like street lights, surveillance cameras installed around the road, traffic conditions are clearly present, as a result, finds it much easier.

Liu Guoqing: I think this is necessary. There are two thoughts: one is how to tamper data? Is this information going to upload?

Tang Jinsong: possible directions for the future were, each sensor at run time are recorded, and stored in the cloud.  Role in the black box on the one hand, on the other hand is also a large part of the data. Did not rule out the possibilities of using black box on some record. In this way, intelligent sensing devices is very important, our solid state laser radar for the future, has great advantages and potential in this area.

Zhang Renjie: I think a black box approach to mend the way and cannot alter the fragile nature of the system. Automatic driving system from a security point of view into security area and not a security domain, how to do the isolation of these fields are very important issues, to addressing safety concerns at its source. There is a power problem, black box will have their own power, and when recording, when not recording, or SD failure ... ... Fraught with uncertainty. Now more popular software-defined vehicle, the software's growing role in the system, we can be more independent hardware functionality is implemented through software.

Pang Chunlin: currently on the self-driving car, do you think the sensor should be attached to an interface or multiple interfaces? Moschino iPad Case

Qiu Chunxin: external sensor input data directly into the car, is very big, I feel in this process is the front of the camera, laser radar have a certain data-processing capacity, provided to the information necessary for decision making the car itself. These simplified and effective data and information can be entered through an interface.

Liu Guoqing: I think they can share one channel, but not packaged with all of the information. On the mosaic of information, I think it is to think about, because the data is particularly important for unmanned, whether developing or testing. When we have clear requirements definition will need to do a lot of testing, must have an information feedback to help us to form a closed loop iterations, gradually improving feature.

Tang Jinsong: the future of computing platform, can do is to be effective and safe, reducing the computational burden, now it's hard to say what structure in the middle. May need to be involved, to find one of the best platforms, including GPU manufacturers.

Yin Xiangzhi: sensor of the unit as a whole has a lot of professional and complex algorithms, through a platform that is difficult to solve. For a variety of occasions has a different algorithm, if you really do not encourage innovation model. I think after the data is processed through a standard API will be transmitted to the central system can, but needs are defined around them with related companies involved in developing standards. Transmission accuracy depends on the performance of the company.

Zhang Renjie: I am more in favour of the integration trend, because the cart is a very powerful computing platform of the future, a variety of sensors, cameras and laser radar are there I/O line cards, all manufacturers follow the I/O line cards, the whole system becomes very simple. In addition to using such a framework can easily increase its computing power. For example the processor die, you can upgrade without redundant backup, backup I can do part of the GPU ... ... I/O line cards that can be used in several similar functionality to solve part of the problem, and continuous improvement.

Pang Chunlin: what about future cost trends in the development of automotive sensors and systems? Second is a practical subjects has any good suggestions, you can push this thing?

Qiu Chunxin: automatic driving more beginner's mind is to reduce the accident rate, which was unchanged. Sagitar poly laser radar are doing, now I can better answer your question, the current price is not your main reason. The main question then is how to meet the requirements of the depot, how to make devices more stable behind the other to say. Perception of unmanned sensors, more expensive is the radar, everyone is concerned, I believe that the price will come down soon.

Moschino iPad 4 case

Liu Guoqing: sensor main determining factor is the price of its production, cost reduction is just a matter of time. Reality promotion, I recommend using the camera, there are a few benefits: one is a lower-cost, more friendly; there is it on a new car has a big market, it's in the stock market, but also to improve traffic safety.

Tang Jinsong: laser radar to automatically while driving up to 30 cm to 200 meters, the amount of data a second over point cloud data, is a very complex technology development and research costs are huge. Traditional Lidar is spinning, is a combination, each factory-a is to be debugged, costs are more difficult to come down. Future of our solid state laser radar, no mechanical parts, fully realized by semiconductor and software. Through this technological breakthrough and repercussions, on the premise of future mass production, the price is down.

Yin Xiangzhi: I think the commercial is an effective approach. Business buyout even subsidized way may be more effective.

Zhang Renjie: we do really need 16 line LiDAR? Single camera + 4 lines of laser radar must be cheap, do better than single camera, why don't we make some low-end attempts? We always think very well in theory, actually we went too fast. Laser radar may wish to present selected high prices of low-end configurations. For China, the current mainstream economic models of the basic price of around 200,000, looks more like no candidate; but for commercial vehicles, 1.5 million cars to increase a $ 8000 laser radar is no problem. So can lead to promote in commercial vehicles. When the market reaches a price down, the last civilian cars are also popular.

Ambitious shortcomings obvious Samsung Gear s review

 

Ambitious, shortcomings obvious Samsung Gear s review

Samsung of products strategy has always been are is "more net wide fishing fish", in past of one years among, Samsung amounted to launched has 6 paragraph intelligent watches, each paragraph are personality obviously, and latest launched of Gear s is is Samsung intelligent watches among most ambitious of a paragraph, because it even can as a Taiwan independent of phone to using, and Samsung also very confidence to opened has 350 dollars of price.

 

Ambitious, shortcomings obvious Samsung Gear s review

In began evaluation zhiqian, translator first also is wants to said two sentence, given domestic for Google of shield, makes Android Wear this platform temporarily cannot through official channel into domestic, and into domestic zhihou many function also by limit, may Samsung is realized that has this is, so Gear s abandoned has Android Wear platform and using has Samsung himself of Tizen OS, while gives Gear s more function, on the, Can also officially in China sells this watch, the translator personally, and was quite impressed by the practices of Samsung.

 

Looks and hardware:

 

Ambitious, shortcomings obvious Samsung Gear s review

Gear s instead of a watch, is a rather worn on the hands of smart phones, not just because of Gear s owned and features a similar phone, but because Gear s looks like a cell phone. Now the smart watch designs are different, such as MOTO 360 LG g r this handsome WATCH is also a good few, but Gear s really is different.

 

Ambitious, shortcomings obvious Samsung Gear s review

Gear s arc of a dial is a 2-inch AMOLED screen, around the metal reinforcement of the border, looks like Doraemon holds narrow light on Galaxy S5 photos and then sat by Gian bend, let be a silicone Kamei strap things.

 

Ambitious, shortcomings obvious Samsung Gear s review

Then Gear s of appearance on looks is science fiction, but Dang I real put this chunks head wearing in I of wrist Shang zhihou, glass, and metal, and silicone of combination and no let Gear s looks like a high social of Darling, instead more like is very guest of toy, and screen border also compared wide, makes Gear s of screen looks to than it actual of screen size more big.

 

Ambitious, shortcomings obvious Samsung Gear s review Ambitious, shortcomings obvious Samsung Gear s review Ambitious, shortcomings obvious Samsung Gear s review

Gear s wearing with also is compared comfortable of, although due to screen size of reasons, Gear s than many intelligent watches are more heavy, but and strap perfect convergence of arc surface let Gear s can fitting most people of wrist, for strap I only of complained is no using standard size of strap has, although Gear s can replaced strap (currently Samsung for its provides has black, and white, and red and blue four species color of strap), but cannot using standard strap always also is limit has user personalized of needs. DVF iPhone case

 

Ambitious, shortcomings obvious Samsung Gear s review

But Gear s natural also has is better than other intelligent watches of place, and this is screen size's, in many intelligent watches Shang I had complained said screen too small view information too trouble, but Gear s with with it of big screen (at least is for a watches for), regardless of is sliding menu also is select option, are is very comfortable of, sometimes to a long notification, only need sweep a eye, is without sliding to view notification full text of.

This block screen in most when is out of, in has notification of when will automatically points bright, and Gear s also built-in has various induction device, in user lift hands wrist see time of when also will automatically points bright, and built-in of light induction device also will according to environment brightness regulation screen brightness to convenient user using, in no operation a will zhihou Gear s also will automatically to dormant state--on like a Taiwan phone as.

 

In screen specifications aspects, Gear s using has a 480x360 of AMOLED screen, has 300 of PPI, displayed text of when clear easy read, color also bright bright, but saturated degrees no S5 above of that block screen so high, black performance really of is black, using black background dial of when screen and border completely thaw for one, feel is cool, as Sun Xia visible sex do have also good.

 

In the bottom of the screen, is a small HOME button, light sensors and ultraviolet sensors, flip the table you can see heart rate sensor as well as the charging contacts, we review Gear s from Sprint sale, provided no SIM card slot, is a writing machine, and if there are slot type, the card slot is located above the heart rate sensor.

In the default case, double-click the HOME button will open the s Voice, long press opens the shortcut menu, in the machine, restart, mute, Wi-Fi, and the flight mode switch.

 

Gear s of packaging within has a portable charging base, using this base charging is only can to Gear s charging of method, base Shang has standard of Micro-USB interface, if out out days not home, this base certainly is have with of, and Samsung to not let with this base looks too stupid, is to this base built-in has a star 350 Ma Shi of battery, in watches built-in of 300 Ma Shi battery didn't electric of when directly put Shang base not need received power also can charging.

Gear s built-in are mainly as follows: a dual-core processor 1GHz, 512MB RAM,4GB storage, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi,GPS, and 3G.

 

Software:

 

Zhiqian said has, Gear s run with based on Linux of Tizen system, this system currently is belongs to Samsung all, has in Gear, and Gear 2 and Gear 2 Neo Shang appeared had has, operation natural is is simple, in dial Shang right sliding view notification, left sliding view small parts (small parts up can set 5 a), down sliding open fast set (including volume and screen brightness,), up sliding is is open application drawer, and run application of when, Sliding down is out.

 

Gear s in some APP has been pre-installed at the factory, such as Samsung's s Health, music player and displays the latest news headlines and weather forecasts two APP, but the most attention is the phone and SMS icons.

 

In the phone APP, using the number buttons can directly look up the most recent call history, SMS, s Voice is used for speech input, speech input accuracy was quite good, even according to the user needs to insert a punctuation mark, or SMS text into all caps order.

 

For those didn't want to on with watches since said since words of user for, Gear s also provides has virtual keyboard, in all need entered text of several surface Xia are can for entered, in pop-up keyboard of when, screen of most space was keyboard occupy, only left top Department one points place to displayed has entered of text, and entered of method except with finger head stamp those button, also can for underlined entered (like to entered Hello, is will finger put in h of location Shang, sliding to e again to l again to o, IME will automatically identify the word Hello).

Text input Gear s isn't that hard, powerful error correction makes the input at most of the time is accurate, but the input is in a brief text message reply to best use, when keyboard pops up when, after all, want to look already input is a very troublesome thing, I prefer to use speech input.

Install APP to Gear s, s and Gear must be paired a Samsung Smartphone and APP on your phone to download and install Gear management operations, this APP can add or delete applications on the Gear s, custom and the wallpaper, to synchronize media files to Gear s or brought back from the Gear s fitness data.

 

Practical experience:

 

See here a lot of people deserve ridicule: I buy a smart watch for when the phone is out of smart phones, but the watch is used to the phone, which would make?

Said truth, I also wants to so spit slot, because not only is management Gear s need using Samsung intelligent phone, even Gear s boot of when, watches also will requirements and Samsung phone paired to completed started, or watches on only will provides emergency call function, and this on I for is is completely Subversion has Gear s itself maximum of selling, since so trouble, I dry well many spent points money buy individual of brand intelligent watches even is other brand of intelligent phone does.

 

In watches normal boot zhihou, user only can real to dropped intelligent phone, wearing with watches free to, and on like Qian paper said of as, I hand Shang this Taiwan Gear s is has it himself of phone number and data package of, if people call watches of number, watches will first for judge, if has connection has intelligent phone, so watches will automatically will call transfer to intelligent phone Shang, this listening to up somewhat strange, but also can in phone Shang for set, Phone calls received by processing moved to watch, to benefit from mobile networks, there is no need to consider whether the Bluetooth connection.

 

As using Gear s received call of feel well, on like movie inside as, directly put watches lift to ear, then normal calls on good, and Gear s of calls quality also quite good, on like using General of phone for call as, and I also not need let watches away from I of mouth is near to guarantee and I calls of people can listening to clear I of voice, is no also can let Gear s and a Deputy Bluetooth headphones paired well.

 As Gear s of communications contracts package aspects, Verizon and T-Mobile for Gear s of additional package charges programme is in has has contracts Shang more received 5 dollars one months, AT&T is will more received 10 dollars, if and I as in Sprint purchase Gear s, is to first see currently of package data flow number, if in 20GB above, Gear s of that number is in December 2015 zhiqian without additional any costs.

 

In terms of fitness function, provided pedometers, action tracking Gear s feature detection function, sleep, heart rate monitoring features, and UV detection, in all working time, is very easy to use, accuracy is good, but sometimes the fitness APP will feign death, especially heart rate functions, then I have to restart Gear s, it will be back to normal.

 

In the APP, and source only Samsung Gear Gear s APP Store, but these have no Gmail APP, Facebook, Twitter, etc, although acceptance when it is connected to the phone, but want to use Gear s Tweet something, forget it.

Useful APP there is, such as a calculator, a very useful navigation APP (kind of like a watch version of Nokia Here), as well as Opera Mini Web browser, with Gear s Internet access although it sounds stupid but commuter on the way to read a newsletter or something is very practical.

 

In battery range aspects, Gear s in was as General intelligent watches of using strength Xia can insisted close two days, if frequently to used to received call or for navigation, is can insisted one days half, in very heavy degrees using situation Xia (see electric mail, and browse page, and using fitness APP and for navigation) can insisted one days, and Gear s also has himself of province electric mode, opened zhihou only retained see time and calls function.

 

Summary:

 

In intelligent watches camp, Gear s does does real is a heresy, and also is meaning is unlikely to of heresy, does can must degree Shang from intelligent phone independent using is a very attract people of function, but each boot are requirements and phone paired to liberation all function said truth is egg pain, and only through phone on its for management also let I compared upset, currently APP also compared lack, system of BUG also more, but maximum of problem also is price, 350 dollars of price, For a smart watch who has some obvious shortcomings, it's too expensive for me.

 

Advantages:

Be able to use them as a cell phone; DVF iPhone 5 Case

Colorful AMOLED screen;

Battery life performance;

Charging base can act as a mobile power supply.

 

Disadvantages:

Is ultimately inseparable from the phone;

Limited number of APP;

Body size too large, incompatible standard strap;

Expensive.
