Semicon Light, a company possessing the original technology of silver free-flip chip LED, will actively respond to patents

Leave a comment

YOUNGIN-SI, South Korea, Nov. 12, 2020 — Semicon Light plans to actively respond to the patents to protect the original technology, "Silver- Free Flip Chip LED".

Logo of SEMICON LIGHT Co., Ltd
Logo of SEMICON LIGHT Co., Ltd

Semicon Light, a company specializing in manufacturing flip-chip LEDs, developed the silver-free flip-chip technology for the first time and holds original patents related to the flip-chip LEDs’ reflective layer. It is a Korean LED chip manufacturer listed on the KOSDAQ market in 2015, and has about 250 flip chip LED-related patents registered in Korea and other countries such as the United States and China.

Semicon Light’s silver-free flip chip is a new type of flip chip instead of the existing horizontal LED chip, and adopts a method of inverting the LED chip and directly fusing it onto the substrate without separate wire bonding. It is a technology that can realize ultra-high reflectance and high reliability through the oxide matirials(DBR, Distributed Bragg Reflector). In addition, it can significantly improve the performance of the elements by being easily applied to ultra-small LEDs such as Mini or Micro LEDs, which are rapidly forming the market recently.

The industry predicts that the display market based on mini LEDs will be formed in earnest from next year prior to realizing the display using micro LED, which is the final and ultimate display technology. In fact, according to a report by the market research firm, Trend Force, it is predicted that mini LED TVs will compete equally with W-OLED (White Organic Light-Emitting Diode) TVs in the premium TV market next year.

With such changes in the display markets, flip-chip LED has become an essential technology, not an option. It is expected that Semicon Light’s ‘Silver Free Flip Chip’ technology, which can make LED chips small while maintaining high performance and high reliability, will emerge as an important element technology. It is found that several large LED chip manufacturers in Taiwan and mainland China are adopting the related technologies.

In this context, Semicon Light intends to materialize the patent strategies and will make every effort to secure the competitiveness of our own technologies by actively responding to patent infringement.

According to company officials, "Semicon Light has world-class LED technologies. In particular, we plan to proactively assert our rights against indiscriminate infringement of intellectual property by establishing a dedicated organization to protect our original technologies.

XL Axiata Selects Solace to Deliver Enhanced Data Offerings for its Customers

Leave a comment

SINGAPORE and JAKARTA, Indonesia, Nov. 12, 2020 — Indonesia’s leading telecommunications services operator, XL Axiata, has chosen Solace to facilitate real-time data flow for its data management mobile application, MyXL.

To cater to the needs of Indonesia’s growing number of mobile Internet users, XL Axiata seeks to drive greater customer engagement and create new revenue streams through data-based services on the MyXL application. The adoption of Solace’s event broker technology underpins critical real-time data flow between XL Axiata’s mobile application and microservices. This allows XL Axiata to build a more powerful, responsive, and feature-rich customer application that can reliably deliver new experiences for their customers by working with partners such as restaurants, hotels, and more.

Before implementing Solace’s event broker technology, the MyXL application ran on a service-oriented architecture. However, with Indonesians’ increasing appetite for online video and social media content in recent years, coupled with the relatively low price of data per gigabyte, XL Axiata needed to re-evaluate its IT infrastructure to handle the unprecedented volume of data consumption. Adopting an event-driven architecture has enabled XL Axiata to ingest all transaction data around its data offerings and distribute it to relevant systems through a centralized platform. With a cloud-friendly system that integrates multiple systems and clouds, XL Axiata can now more easily connect to its partners and modernize its analytics infrastructure to become more real-time to drive targeted and personalized customer experiences.

"Indonesia has one of the world’s highest numbers of Internet users and meeting their demands is no easy feat. We constantly strive to be one step ahead by providing the best possible services and experiences for our customers. Working with Solace has helped to future-proof our MyXL application to easily onboard new systems and partners. It also helps us to roll out new services like 5G, which will enable next-generation applications for our customers," said Yessie D Yosetya, Director & Chief Information-Digital Officer, XL Axiata.

"Our vision is to empower our customers to continuously improve their service offerings by leveraging real-time data," said Kent Nash, General Manager, Middle East, Asia Pacific & Japan, Solace. "We are thrilled to be supporting one of Indonesia’s leading telecommunications providers in its digital transformation journey to bring about better data services for Indonesian consumers. This partnership with XL Axiata marks an exciting new milestone for Solace in the region as we seek to support more businesses in achieving real-time responsiveness."

Sony’s PlayStation 5 Won’t Support SSD Expansion at Launch

Leave a comment

According to The Verge, Sony has confirmed that the console will not support storage expansion at launch. This news comes despite the presence of a dedicated slot for an M.2 SSD. Sony clarifies that the slot will be enable in a future update and that storage expansion will be be reserved for a future update. This comes as confirmation as surfaced that the PS5 will reserve around 20% of the 825GB internal SSD storage for functional operations and the OS, leaving around 664GB usable storage.

In light of the new, it seems like early adopters should avoid buying additional M.2 SSDs to avoid being sorely disappointed. However, it’s not all gloom and doom as Sony confirms that the update will come once it has a list of supported SSDs. Testing for this list should be underway. The delay comes as the PlayStation 5 sports a lot of customised internals including its I/O system which complicates SSD compatibility. That said, the Sony PlayStation 5 supports up to two types of storage: internal and external storage. With internal M.2 SSD expansion delayed, users will still be able to use external USB drives for extra memory as we wait for the update to roll out.

From what we know about PS5 titles – they aren’t small in any way with file sizes clocking in at 120GB. PS5 titles such as Demon Souls and Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War are already reported to take up about 200GB. With only 825GB of internal storage, users will undoubtedly run out of storage in no time. However, the PS5 still supports storing games on USB-connected external drives however, this will only work for previous generation games.

What about the disc drive version of the PS5? Well, the Blu-Ray disc will only act as an installer for the game, allowing you to forgo an internet connection. Still, the PS5 will download game data from the disc on to the internal storage to facilitate seamless loading during gameplay.

Nevertheless, Sony has claimed that the PS5 will be more flexible when it comes to storage management; allowing users more control.

PlayStation 5 Cheat Sheet: Everything You Need To Know About Sony’s New Console

Leave a comment

Sony has announced its newest PlayStation 5 and is ready to take on the market this holiday. The company has revealed some specs to give fans a brief look of just how powerful the machine will be. Looking at some of the things we already know, the new PlayStation 5 is shaping up to be one of the most revolutionary consoles in comparison to it’s predecessor, the PS4; and even next generation Xbox Series X and Xbox Series. The PS5 is set to change the playing field for consoles in the next generation.

Source: TechRadar

Powerful Insides with at least 60 fps Gameplay

The PlayStation 5 will be running on a customised build of AMD’s graphics and processing architecture. The GPU is based on AMD’s RDNA 2 architecture while the CPU is based on AMD’s Zen 2 architecture with 8-cores. The new processing unit will allow the PS5 to support ray tracing making it possible to have more realistic light textures and deeper realism built into the graphics. This is complemented by 16GB of GDDR6 RAM.

It will launch with native 4K resolution support which makes sense given the current landscape of TV ownership. However, there is evidence showing the PS5 will be able to support up to 8K resolution in the future. The console is able to reach 120fps in games but most of the game are guaranteed tor run at 60fps with stable gaming performance. We will probably see a few games reaching 120fps as the console generation progresses.

Speedy Internal Storage for Quick Load Times

The console will sport a customised solution when it comes to internal storage. Sony’s customised SSD solution will be its backbone for the lightning-fast loading times the company is promising for the PlayStation 5. It will support extra storage through an easily accessible slot for an M.2 SSD chip which is disabled at launch. However, Sony PS5 architect, Mark Cerny, has stressed that support will be enabled with a firmware update at a later date. The reason behind this staggered activation is to give the team enough time to test and ensure compatibility as not all M.2 SSDs will be able to interface correctly with the PlayStation 5’s I/O controller which can lead to slowdowns or worse. Out of the box, the PS5 comes with 825GB of internal storage, it will also support USB storage.

The PS5 will come in two flavours: a digital-only version and one sporting an optical drive. The latter will come with a 4K Blu-ray drive. This will be able to play actual physical PS5 games which will be released on Blu-ray discs. It will also play movies and DVDs. As the name suggests, this will be omitted in the PS5 Digital Edition.

The hallmark of the PS5 experience is the unique, immersive experience of the new DualSense Controller. It is being lauded as a leap forward in gaming. The resistive triggers are able to convey a different, more immersive textures which bring a depth to the gaming experience that we have yet to experience.

New PSN Experience & Backward Compatibility

The PSN web and mobile store have been overhauled in October. As part of this change, PS3 games, PS vita games, avatar and themes will no longer be purchase. Sony seems to be more focused on newer things. This has entailed the removal of themes and content for the PS3 and, the short-lived, PS Vita.

Sony has also revealed the PS5 UI in an official walkthrough video hosted by the head of Sony Worldwide Studios, Hermen Hulst. The UI drops the spartan approach that it used for the PS4. In its stead, the PS5 will sport a user experience-centric interface which brings games and the PSN community to the forefront. Even the in-game overlay is feature-rich and comes with easy access to the many in-game features that the PS5 has including the ability to get friends to help you in-game.

In addition to an overhauled UI, the PS5 comes with backwards compatibility with games from previous generations of PlayStations. For now, Sony has confirmed that 99% of PS4 titles are supported by the PS5 with more to come. However, compatibility with games from the PS3 and before is still up in the air.

Pricing & Availability

Both Editions of the PlayStation 5 will be available starting on November 12, 2020, in the U.S, UK, Japan, and a few other countries, with a global release starting on November 19. The disc drive touting PS5 will run you USD $499 while the digital only edition will cost $399.

In Malaysia, the PS5 will be laucnhing on 11 December 2020 with pre-orders already underway with e-commerce platforms such as Shopee and Lazada already taking orders. The PS5 Digital Edition will be available for MYR 1,869, and PS5 with an Ultra HD Blu-ray™ disc drive will be available for MYR 2,299.
