Sumitomo Chemical Company and Cambridge Display Technology Inc., a developer of technologies based on polymer organic light emitting diodes (P-OLEDs), today jointly announced that Sumitomo Chemical has completed its $285 million acquisition of CDT, by means of a merger between CDT and a wholly owned subsidiary of Sumitomo Chemical. The merger consideration represents a 107 percent premium over CDT's 90-day average closing share price and a 95 percent premium over CDT's closing share price of $6.15 on July 30, the last trading day prior to first public announcement of the acquisition.
just as the clarity of high definition television has transformed the entertainment world, Siemens Medical Solutionsis redefining the quality of molecular imaging with the introduction of high definition positron emission tomography.
High resolution images taken by satellite or aircraft are great - but the field of view in such pictures is tiny. To monitor a large area, the images have to be tiled like pieces in a jigsaw puzzle before a full picture can be built up.
Some new technologies appear from nowhere. Others are heralded by such long fanfares that it seems they will never arrive. Electronic paper is surely in the second category. The idea of a display screen that has the clarity and flexibility of paper has been around for at least a decade. It has found a few niche, black-and-white applications in mobile phones and ¡§electronic books¡¨. As a mass-market, full-colour product, however, it has conspicuously failed to show up.
Engineers at Thales UK¡¦s Optronics business in Glasgow are installing Thales¡¦s CM10 optronic masts on the Royal Navy¡¦s new submarine, HMS Astute.
Even if the next LCD you buy has pretty much the same characteristics as the last LCD you bought, a change is likely to have occurred behind the scenes. In display sizes below about 15 inches, the tried-and-true cold-cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL) lighting system for the LCD is rapidly being replaced by light-emitting diodes.
National Semiconductor Corporation will showcase its latest power management technology at the Portable Design Conference and Exhibition in Santa Clara, California, from October 3-4. The Portable Design Conference is the only industry gathering of design engineers specifically engaged in the development and engineering of portable devices.
Researchers in Hong Kong claim to have developed the highest power efficiency non-doped white organic light emitting device (WOLED) made using a single white-emitting material. They believe that their high purity, color stable device, surpasses existing WOLEDs and is a more efficient and environmentally friendly alternative to inorganic LEDs.
NeoPhotonics Corp., a leading supplier of optical components for the telecom and CATV industries, will debut at ECOC (the European Conference on Optical Communications in Berlin, booth 15031, September 17th ¡V 19th) a new tunable laser for DWDM (dense wavelength division multiplexing) networks that performs the functions of any of 200 single-wavelength lasers.
