For most, the new year brings promises of (rarely-kept) resolutions and hangovers. For us folks in the consumer electronics industry, it means we need to start packing our bags for the annual trek to Las Vegas for the 2011 Consumer Electronics Show. This year being no exception, the usual gang from QuickLogic will be at […]
Android Auto-Brightness: How to Improve this Typically Poorly Implemented, But Important Feature
Recently, a very good article by Dr. Raymond Soneira of DisplayMate Technologies caught our attention. Being in the display optimization business with our VEE technology in QuickLogic CSSPs, we investigated the claims of Dr. Soneira, and fully agree with him. To further the point, QuickLogic has recently released an NDA-only white paper on the Auto Brightness algorithm in the […]
Happy Holidays!
14 years ago, my neighbor and I found out we have a mutual interest besides playing golf – both of us really enjoy seeing great Christmas Light Displays. While each of us did our own thing up until that point, in 1996 we decided we had the ideal set-up to join forces and combine our […]
We’re Not the Only Ones
QuickLogic continues to evangelize our VEE technology for display restoration and enhancement, particularly in less-than-optimum viewing conditions like direct sunlight. Followers of QuickLogic, readers of quicklogic.com, and listeners of our investor calls can all attest to this. It’s nice to know we are not the only ones doing this. http://www.oled-display.net/super-amoled-vs-amoled-vs-lcd-in-direct-sunlight http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIrvamOXqxs http://www.allaboutsymbian.com/features/item/Sun_sun_sun_And_I_cant_see_a_thing_on_my_phone.php Additionally, the recently-announced Google […]

When Does a Smartphone Really Become a Tablet?
Smartphones are generally seen to have display sizes up to 4 inches, and in the world of tablets we see display sizes starting at 7 inches and going upwards. However, some indicators suggest smartphone displays may creep up the display size trail to 4.3, and even 5 inches. At 5 inches, is this really a smartphone […]
On Recent Events…
Last month was one to remember for me here at QuickLogic. From reporting a year-over-year doubling of revenue and our return to GAAP profitability during our earnings call on November 2nd, to the recent announcement of Andy Pease’s planned succession to CEO, it has certainly been one to remember! During any change in leadership of […]
Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Office…
As I begin the final stage of transitioning into my new role as CEO, I wanted to reflect on the past 4 years, and look a bit to the future. I am especially grateful to be part of what I think is the “gold standard” in leadership transition plans. Lots of companies talk about having […]
They’re Out to Get Us…(?)
We send our apologies to any one who tried to access the QuickLogic website and/or blog site yesterday evening. We, as well as our corporate neighbors, lost power unexpectedly late Monday afternoon, and the local utility company was unable to remedy the situation for some time. While likely not true, the conspiracy theorists among us […]
