Why Are DPO’s Power Savings Variable by System Design?
One question I frequently get from potential customers is why QuickLogic’s DPO CSSP-based technology ‘will extend your battery life an average of 20-25%’, rather than ‘will extend your battery life 25%’. The difference, of course, is that we state an average savings rather than define a specific savings. There are a few reasons for this, […]
Ask the CEO, Questions Answered
Hello, and welcome to the first of hopefully many ‘Ask the CEO’ sessions here on QuickLogic’s HotSpots Blog. I appreciate the time that our readers took to send in questions, and hope that you find this exercise worthwhile. Now, to the questions: Q: How do we know VEE/DPO is used in a Phone/Tablet? Is there […]
QuickLogic’s MDDO
Greetings! The latest QuickLogic press release detailing our new MDDO (Mobile Device Display Optimizer) software for Android just crossed the wire. I wanted to take a couple of seconds to explain what MDDO does in a little more detail. A bit of background: the Android mobile OS communicates with on-board devices (Bluetooth, displays, cameras, etc…) in standard […]
This Just In, From CES
CES 2011 for QuickLogic has been extremely successful so far, and we’re not done yet. VEE and DPO continue to be a very compelling story, and the new ArcticLink II CX CSSP platform is driving a ton of interest in the applications of QuickLogic’s side loading and secure data management technologies. And yes…we are showing the […]
As CES Approaches…
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 […]
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 […]
Reactions from a New iPad Owner
Like 5M or so of my fellow technophiles (that number is certainly up for debate—see http://tech.fortune.cnn.com/2010/10/05/how-many-ipads-has-apple-really-sold/), I recently purchased an iPad. The next day, I began what ended up being a 16 day trip throughout Korea, where I put the iPad through its paces. A disclaimer: I estimate I used the iPad probably 25% of […]
