Brian, one of our frequent readers and commentors here on QuickLogic’s HotSpots inquired on my last blog with the question below: The RGB-split accepts one incoming signal and splits the signal between to two displays (i.e. one image spread over two displays). Down the road do you envision an RGB-split capability (or a market need) […]

The RGB-split Competitive Landscape
Building on today’s “RGB-split for Foldable Tablets and Smartphones” press release, I wanted to spend a bit of time talking about current competitive approaches to splitting display signals. First, a bit more on RGB-split. What is does: it accepts a single incoming MDDI or RGB display signal (from the applications processor/CPU) and splits it to […]
Adding Silicon to Reduce Power?
During Uplinq last week, visitors to our booth were, among other things, given demonstrations of VEE and DPO. One of the curious things that kept occurring was people trying to understand how we can reduce power with silicon. I suppose for most techies, “adding silicon to reduce power” is in the vein of “jumbo shrimp” […]
Ask the CEO, Summer 2011 Edition

Why the Kindle Can be Read in Sunlight
A few customers/investors have asked me lately why the Kindle is so readable in sunlight, and how this affects the positioning of VEE and DPO. So, while this is likely more of a review for most, please bear with me… The Kindle uses a monochrome display technology called e-ink. E-ink displays are aptly-named; like normal […]
In the Age of Standardization, How Can a Tablet Be Different?
In Goldman Sachs’ recent market release “The disruptive nature of tablet computing: A comprehensive analysis of the winners and losers in global TMT and Retail” (April 18, 2011), they very rightly point out the lack of differentiation amongst non-iPad tablets. Specifically, they claim “We see very little differentiation between the hardware specifications of non-Apple […]
