Applicability

Very small, small piece of each unit LED is 3-5mm square, so the device can be fabricated into various shapes, and is suitable for the environment variable


Light-emitting diodes

Stability

100,000 hours, the light fades to 50% of the initial

Response time

Incandescent response time of milliseconds, the response time of the LED lights for a nanosecond

Of environmental pollution

No harmful metallic mercury

Color

Materials of light-emitting diodes by chemical modification methods, adjusting the energy band structure and band gap, red yellow blue orange multicolor light. Red tube voltage is small, different colors of red, orange, yellow, green, and blue light-emitting diode operating voltage is increased successively.

Price

LED price is now more and more civilians, due to the LED power-saving features, perhaps in the near future, people are the incandescent LED lights. Now, some cities in our country roads, schools, factory and other places have switched to the the Wan LED street light, energy-saving lamps.


Monochromatic LED types and history of the development

The LED light source made of the earliest applications of semiconductor PN junction light-emitting principle is introduced in the early 1960s. Use at the time material is GaAsP, red (λp = 650nm), the drive current of 20 mA, the luminous flux is only thousandths of a few lumens, luminous efficiency of about 0.1 lm / W

The mid-1970s, the introduction of elements of In and N, generated by the LED green (λp = 555nm), yellow (λp = 590nm) and orange (λp = 610nm), luminous efficiency is also increased to a lumens / watt.

To the early 1980s, there has been a GaAlAs LED light source, the red LED luminous efficiency of 10 lumens / watt.

The early 1990s, of red, yellow the GaAlInP and green, blue GaInN two new materials successfully developed, so that the LED luminous efficiency has been greatly improved. In 2000, the former is made of LED in red, orange District (λp = 615nm) light efficiency of 100 lm / W, while the latter is made of LED luminous efficiency in the green region (λ p = 530nm) can reach 50 lm / watts.

Monochromatic LED applications

Light-emitting diodes

The initial LED as the light of the instructions of the instrumentation, then a variety of light-colored LEDs in traffic lights and a large area display a wide range of applications, resulting in a good economic and social benefits. To 12 inches of red traffic lights, for example, in the United States was long-lived, low-efficiency 140-watt incandescent lamp as a light source, it produces 2000 lumens of white light. The red filter, the light loss of 90%, leaving only 200 lumens of red light. In the light of the new design, Lumileds uses 18 red LED light source, including circuit losses, the total power consumption of 14 watts to produce the same luminous efficiency.

The car lights are also an important area of ​​the LED light source applications. 1987, China began to be installed in the car CHMSL LED response speed (nanosecond), an early stage so that the trailing vehicle drivers know that driving conditions to reduce rear-end accidents.

In addition, LED lights in the outdoor red, green, blue full-color display, mini flashlight key chain field have been applied.

how USB flash drives works


The so-called "USB flash drive” is based on USB interface, flash memory chips as the storage medium, no need to drive a new generation of storage devices. USB flash drives, the emergence of a major breakthrough in the field of removable storage technology, its compact size, especially for portable, anytime, anywhere, and easily exchange information and data switching products is the ideal mobile office and data storage.

USB flash drives principle of using a standard USB interface, 32M ~ 256M capacity, maximum capacity of the existing 2G products, high-capacity data storage and exchange for all major operating systems and hardware platforms. Its low-end products in the market price is close to the floppy drive, and a lot of motherboard support boot from USB memory, more practical function. Overall, USB flash drives the Floppy incomparable advantages, mainly small size, fully functional, safe and reliable use. But there are not enough large capacity and can not extend higher prices, Win98 and some other operating system required to install the driver and other shortcomings.

    USB flash drives principle structure is basically composed of five parts: a USB port, the master chip, FLASH (flash memory) chip, PCB backplane, shell package. Among them, the main chip can be part of the company on their own R & D, while the most expensive part of the FLASH (flash memory) chips, may account for about 6/7 of the total amount of USB flash drives, and the general use of the brands currently on the market brand type range of

Basic working principle of the USB flash drives is relatively simple: the USB port is responsible for connecting computers, data input or output channel; main chip is responsible for the coordination and management of the various components and issued the action command, and the computer identified as U-disk " removable disk, USB flash drives principle of the "brain"; principle is basically the same flash chip and computer memory, save the data entity, which is characterized by the data is not lost after power failure, long-term preservation; the PCB backplane is responsible for provide the appropriate treatment data platform, and all components are connected together. USB flash drives operating system recognizes the user issued the action command after the data access, USB removable storage disk will contain several processing.

USB flash drives principle of storage

The formation of electron storage source and the drain current unidirectional conduction of semiconductor floating shed. The floating gate wrapped around the insulator layer of silicon oxide film. On top of it is to control the conduction current between the source and drain select / control gate. Data is 0 or 1 depending on whether electronic floating gate formed on the silicon substrate. Electronics is 0, no electronic 1.

Flash just like its name, delete the data before writing to initialize. Specifically, the electronics is derived from all the floating gate. Will soon be data owned by "1".

Write data only to 0 when the write data for the 1:00 to do nothing. Write 0:00, applying high voltage to the gate electrode and the drain, increasing the energy of electronic conduction between the source and drain. As a result, the electrons would break through the oxide film insulator, the floating gate.

Read data when applied to the gate electrode voltage, current greatly, current small as 0. Floating gate does not have the electronic state (data 1), the state of the gate electrode voltage is applied to the drain voltage is applied between the source and drain due to a large number of electronic mobile, it will generate electricity. Electronic state (data 0) in the floating gate, the electronic conduction in the channel will be reduced. Imposed after the gate electrode voltage floating-gate electronic absorption, it is difficult to have an impact on the channel.

The principle of the U-disk storage is: computer binary digital signal into the composite binary digital signal (the distribution, check stack instruction) to read and write to the USB chip adapter interface, the chip signal processing assigned to EPROM2, memory chips, the corresponding address is stored binary data, and data storage.

U.S. consumer electronics industry


U.S. consumer electronics industry since the economic crisis has always maintained a strong recovery, organized by the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas and you can feel the strong industry influence in the United States.

Steady recovery of industry

This year, a total of more than 3100 companies participated in the International Consumer Electronics Show, the historical record, released 20 thousand kinds of new products, including TV with intelligent man-machine interaction, the naked eye 3D eye tracking technology, super this new technology. Microsoft, Google, Intel and other well-known U.S. companies continue to be the focus.


As the world's largest consumer electronics market, the U.S. electronics industry in the post-crisis recovery is particularly strong, leading global consumer electronics industry out of financial crisis, an important force. U.S. Consumer Electronics Association recently released data show that U.S. consumer electronics industry in 2011 revenue is expected to reach $ 195.2 billion, in 2012 the industry will continue on this basis, an increase of 3.7%, total revenue is expected to more than 202 billion U.S. dollars, for the historical record.

U.S. Consumer Electronics Association President Gary? Shapiro said in an interview with Xinhua in an exclusive interview, U.S. companies to provide consumers with a rich and valuable electronic products and some services are free, to meet the needs of the consumers . Among them, the fastest speed of growth of the Tablet PC, smart phone is the main driving force of the electronics industry revenues.

Recovery of the three power

U.S. economy since the recovery track in the second half of 2009, has maintained a slow growth, lack of obvious growth point. However, the consumer electronics industry has shown strong growth momentum. Compared with other consumer electronics industry in developed Western countries, the U.S. industry, the faster the speed of recovery after the crisis; relative to emerging market countries, the quality of the U.S. consumer electronics industry has more obvious advantages.

Combined with the changing realities of the U.S. economic environment and to participate in the analysis of the Las Vegas Consumer Electronics Show, the industry, three support force behind the strong recovery of the U.S. consumer electronics industry.

First, the endless stream of innovative products, applications and services is key to activate the financial crisis in the besieged U.S. consumer electronics industry and market.

The United States has been in the high-end position in the global consumer electronics industry chain mainly engaged in design, research and development work, mostly because of the unsurpassed ability to innovate in the United States. In addition, the innovations are not only refers to the product itself, it is through innovation and create new market demand. When a speech on the U.S. consumer electronics industry data, Shapiro said: "The technology and innovation continue to play a crucial role in the U.S. economic recovery, including innovation that protects and promotes the very critical."

The second, consumer ability and willingness to increase, and consumers are changing the concept of consumer electronic products are also more stable demand.

Accompanied by the slow recovery of the economy, the United States and worldwide consumer spending also been picked up. Meanwhile, the international market also support consumer electronic products in the United States. U.S. Consumer Electronics Association study shows that consumers have been increasingly turning to consumer electronic products as a necessity, resulting in lower elasticity of demand.

Third, industry support system, as well as funds to support a wide range of channels, to ensure and promote the vigorous development of the U.S. consumer electronics industry. The United States in addition to the developed electronics industry and its upstream and downstream industries, as well as a range of support system, such as the Consumer Electronics Show is a good product and service promotion, and information and technology exchange platform, to help to help the United States to integrate the global electronics the various elements of the industry.

In addition, U.S. companies, especially small and medium-sized enterprises have diversified financing channels, such as the United States the risk of investment is particularly preferred type of industry of Silicon Valley innovation.

about tablet PC History of the development


Alan Kay Alan Kay, Xerox Palo Alto Research Center in the late 1960s the idea of ​​a pen input information of a new notebook computer called the Dynabook. However, the Palo Alto Research Center, not the idea to provide support. The first Tablet PC for commercial the GRiDPad listed in September 1989, the GRiD Systems, manufacturing, its operating system based on MS-DOS. 1991, Tablet PC manufactured by another Go Corporation, Momenta Pentop listed. In 1992, Go launched a dedicated operating system, named PenPoint the OS, Microsoft also introduced Windows for Pen, Computing,. Implied with the word "ThinkPad", the original model of IBMThinkPad series of tablet PCs. These earlier examples have failed, it was small and cramped handwriting recognition rate does not meet the needs of users, and the high price and weight is also a problem. For example, Momenta weighing 7 pounds (3.2 kg) and the price up to $ 5,000!

Since the fall of 2002 because Microsoft to promote Windows XP, Tablet PC Edition and become more and more popular. This Tablet PC has a small market in the industrial, medical and government customers. Now their main user groups for students and professionals. Distinguish between the Tablet PC (running Microsoft Windows XP Tablet PC Edition) and other Tablet PC is very important (in English the distinction is a Tablet PC and tablet PCs, the lowercase "t"), many manufacturers call them the "Tablet" (flat-panel ). They are all stylus input device, some of the software is designed specifically for the Tablet PC can not run on other devices. Consumers must figure out the software and hardware compatibility issues because the Tablet PC is not just referring to the Microsoft one of the products
