Kyocera and FLEx Lighting Launch New Low Power Reflective LCD Displays


News Image

Kyocera International, Inc. and FLEx Lighting today announced a new line of high-performance, extremely low power, reflective liquid-crystal displays (LCDs) illuminated using FLEx’s front light panels. These LCDs incorporate Kyocera’s Memory-In-Pixel and reflective display technologies combined with FLEx’s front lighting technology to significantly reduce power consumption compared to traditional LCD and OLED displays. The initial product lineup includes 1.03”, 1.81” and 2.16” displays, and offer excellent options for battery powered applications including low powered industrial devices, wearable medical devices, Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications, and wearable consumer devices.

Reflective LCDs with MIP act similar to an e-reader (e.g., Kindle) offering an extended battery life, clear visibility in bright sunlight, and high contrast while consuming a minimal amount of power to hold the content on the display. This new LCD technology achieves low power consumption by incorporating a randomly accessed stored bit in each pixel cell structure, enabling the product designer to address and refresh pixels individually. In addition, FLEx’s low power front light panel only uses one LED and delivers light off the highly reflective display when needed, maintaining low power consumption in dim ambient environments.

Kyocera and FLEx are teaming up to promote this solution to the market. “These new reflective MIP displays continue Kyocera’s tradition of offering high quality displays meant for robust industrial, medical and consumer applications,” said Jim Little, General Manager, Kyocera Display Division. “We are excited to partner with FLEx to incorporate their industry leading lighting technology for customers that require visibility in all lighting conditions.”

This relationship will enable Kyocera and FLEx to promote lit versions of Kyocera’s display which can be seen both in the dark and in bright sunlight. “We are thrilled to partner with Kyocera for these applications. The combination of their highly reflective LCD with FLEx’s low power front light offers an excellent energy efficient option for the display industry,” said Mike Casper, CEO of FLEx Lighting. “We look forward to expanding these low power display options for tomorrow’s electronic devices.”

Kyocera and FLEx will be showcasing these new displays at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, USA from January 7-10, 2020. Contact Yulia Trevor (ytrevor@flexlighting.com) or Jim Little (Jim.Little@kyocera.com) to schedule an appointment.

Worcester Polytechnic Institute to Help Develop Novel Sign Language Technology


Erin Solovey

Erin Solovey, assistant professor of computer science at WPI

“This project takes a human-centered computing approach to build a foundation that advances understanding of how deaf individuals could work and learn in environments that are designed with their needs and preferences at the forefront.” -Erin Solovey, assistant professor of computer science

A Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) researcher has received a $1 million National Science Foundation (NSF) grant that could lead to significant breakthroughs in technology platforms for the ASL-signing Deaf Community. Erin Solovey, assistant professor of computer science, will investigate the feasibility and effectiveness of computer interfaces that will allow deaf individuals to navigate, search, and interact with technology completely in American Sign Language.

Members of the Deaf Community whose first or primary language is American Sign Language (ASL) currently engage with interactive computer tools presented exclusively in English, including those designed expressly for ASL content and educational materials. The lack of ASL-based navigation is in part due to the fact that the signed languages of the world have unique requirements that do not align with existing text-based user interface design practices. Therefore, the development of Sign-Language First (SL1) technology offers great promise for ASL-signing users and others interested in signed language content. SL1 design has the potential to level the playing field for deaf students seeking to access academic, linguistic, and other informational content online.

“This project takes a human-centered computing approach to build a foundation that advances understanding of how deaf individuals could work and learn in environments that are designed with their needs and preferences at the forefront,” said Solovey.

Jeanne Reis, M.Ed., co-principal investigator on the project, brings over three decades of experience and understanding of the need for this technology. Reis is director of the Center for Research and Training at The Learning Center for the Deaf (TLC)—a nationally recognized leader in educational, therapeutic, and community services with deaf and hard of hearing children and adults. “Technology that is truly SL1 accessible has the power to enhance educational opportunities and facilitate lifelong learning, especially in science and technology,” said Reis. “It can also improve career opportunities in STEM fields, broadening participation in the workforce by an incredibly dynamic, creative, valuable—and very underrepresented—population.”

In this project, Solovey and Reis will explore previously developed and novel approaches that will allow users to engage with technological tools through a signed language with no reliance on conventional written language. To that end, they propose that all aspects of a user interface, including menus, search tools, and navigation buttons, be presented visually. The research team will look at the feasibility of incorporating photos, videos, illustrations, and characters representing the linguistic features of ASL vocabulary, such as handshapes, movement patterns, and location (i.e., placement on the signer’s body).

The team will base their early investigations on existing resources for deaf students created by Reis and Robert Hoffmeister, PhD, in projects done with primary funding from the Institute of Education Sciences (IES) and the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (MADESE). Both projects involved partnerships with The Learning Center for the Deaf (TLC), Boston University, numerous deaf professionals and subject matter experts, and schools for deaf students nationwide. Reis and Hoffmeister’s work resulted in two groundbreaking tools: the ASL STEM Concept Learning Resource (ASL Clear), released in 2017, and the ASL Assessment Instrument (ASLAI), released in 2010. ASL Clear focuses on STEM concept learning in ASL; ASLAI is the first computer-based standardized and robustly normed ASL language arts assessment administered to deaf students across the country. Since both are real-world tools with a common need to engage deaf users in ASL without switching to written English, they provide solid context in which to explore the design of ASL interfaces and evaluation tools to determine what works, what doesn’t, and what new features can be added.

Throughout the three-year grant, the WPI–TLC team will work with researchers, software engineers, ASL experts, educators, and doctoral students, many of whom are deaf, to ensure that members of the ASL-signing community have key leadership roles and active participation in the project. The team will also collaborate with Gallaudet University, National Technical Institute for the Deaf, Rochester Institute of Technology, University of North Carolina at Greensboro, and The Learning Center for the Deaf in Framingham, Mass.

Myant to Showcase Office Environment that Senses, Predicts, and Reacts to Workers at CES, Optimizing Employee Productivity, Performance and Workforce Health & Wellness


News Image

By creating a better connection between the human worker and the AI-enabled connected office, Myant hopes to fundamentally change the way people look at the everyday textile-objects in the workplace

Myant Inc., leaders in Textile Computing™, will be showcasing the latest developments for a workplace of the future powered by the Myant Platform at CES 2020, happening January 7-10, in Las Vegas. These technology demonstrations will highlight how an office environment connected to the Myant Platform will be aware of the worker’s current physical and psychological state, anticipate their needs, and react to create personalized experiences that optimize individual performance, resulting in enterprise-wide enhancement of productivity and workforce health and well-being. The bridging of the gap between the human operating system, the digital world and the physical workplace empowers office furniture manufacturers to reimagine the value that their products can provide and to rethink their potential business models and revenue streams for the future.

Creating greater synchronicity between the human worker, the AI-enabled digital world, and the physical work environment is a critical objective for many forward-thinkers such as the Government of Japan with its Society 5.0 initiative. To realize such a vision Myant has been developing textile-based products throughout the work environment that can sense and react to the identity and state of the individual. The data generated from these interfaces would then be delivered to the Myant Platform where artificial intelligence analyzes and anticipates future needs for the individual or enterprise in real-time. When an office is populated with textiles connected to the digital world (i.e. chairs, desk surfaces, carpeting, etc.), a continuous, ambient, and pervasive connection between the human operating system, the digital world, and the physical environment is formed. Offices connected by textile have the potential then to sense, anticipate and react to workers’ needs, reducing friction in work processes, freeing workers to focus on the act of value-creation for the enterprise.

The potential of an office connected by textiles and powered by the Myant Platform could manifest in a myriad of different ways, including the following possibilities:


  • Personalized micro-climates and dynamic workplace configurations that continuously optimize according to your current and predicted state, promoting worker productivity, performance, health and wellbeing
  • Enterprise-wide predictive health & wellness management that can measure workforce health & wellness, suggest corrective actions to hit enterprise-level wellness targets, report on progress towards these goals to promote adherence, demonstrate return on investment for HR-driven wellness initiatives, and measure real behavioral outcomes to insurers who can in turn adjust premiums
  • Continuous, ambient multi-factor biometric security that triangulates between a broad spectrum of biometric measures, enhancing security for the enterprise and its workers, deployed in a frictionless, always-on form factor
  • Predictive service and resource management solutions that can observe past and current worker states, factor in contextual information, predict emerging future needs, and intelligently throttle services and resources (like adjusting lighting, heating, energy, lock/unlock doors, redistribute power, etc.) to create a more seamless worker experience and optimally sustainable workplace
  • Deeply immersive AR/VR experiences augmented by textiles that foster a truer sense of empathy, enabling more meaningful collaboration between teammates across locations, ultimately bridging the gap between the physical and virtual realities
  • Plus, many other possibilities

As an example, analysis of continuous ECG data captured by a desk chair could identify abnormally high levels of anxiety, triggering a notification that suggests mindful breathing or walking to turn your stress into focus. This could be supplemented by an adjustment of your micro-climate (e.g. lighting and heating, seat ergonomics), creating a feedback loop where human biometrics drive responses in the environment designed to regulate the human user. These dynamic relationships between an individual worker and the office can also create value at the enterprise-level, where continuous behavioral evidence for the impact of wellness and awareness programs could drive a reduction in insurance premiums for the company.

“By creating a better connection between the human worker and the AI-enabled connected office, Myant hopes to fundamentally change the way people look at the everyday textile-objects in the workplace,” said Ilaria Varoli, executive vice president at Myant. Reflecting on the transformation on the horizon for office furniture manufacturers, Varoli adds that “an office chair is not simply a piece of furniture anymore, but a way to drive productivity, nurture well-being, and stay connected.”

The Connected Office is one of the cornerstones of the Myant Platform, which aims to provide a continuous and ambient connection between people and their bodies, their communities, and their environments across all aspects of daily life (i.e. connected home, connected work, and connected play). Myant’s presence at CES 2020 was designed to highlight the possibilities enabled by the Platform, inspiring the world to challenge the way they see everyday textile objects (i.e. everyday textiles on the body and in the environment) and to reimagine the value that these objects can provide. To that end, Myant is showcasing connected textile demos across all facets of life (with Work, Home, and Play coming together to represent the 24 hours of daily life) as well as celebrating the launch of a connected apparel line under Myant’s consumer brand Skiin. The Skiin Connected Health & Wellness line of apparel has been honored in the Health & Wellness category of the CES 2020 Innovation Awards. Myant invites the public to visit their booth at CES 2020 (Booth #43925, Sands Expo, Health & Wellness) to explore a world connected by textile and to schedule a private demonstration of the Connected Office technologies.

Radiant Demonstrates Display Test Solutions for Augmented & Virtual Reality Devices at Photonics West 2020


Radiant Demonstrates Display Test Solutions for Augmented & Virtual Reality Devices at Photonics West 2020

Requiring no costly equipment, robotics, complex setup, or advanced programming, the Radiant AR/VR display test system operates from a single position within the headset to evaluate the complete display FOV as seen by the viewer.

Radiant Vision Systems, a leading provider of test and measurement solutions for lighting and displays, announces that it will demonstrate augmented (AR) and virtual reality (VR) display testing from booth #4282 at the Photonics West Exhibition. In two live demonstrations, the company’s AR/VR Lens system will be showcased evaluating the visual performance of displays from the human eye position inside a VR headset and a pair of AR smart glasses, thus ensuring accurate qualification of the entire display field of view as seen by the wearer. The Photonics West Exhibition takes place February 4-6, 2019, at The Moscone Center in San Francisco, California, U.S.A.

Near-eye (NED) and head-mounted display (HMD) devices have proliferated in recent years in a race to provide new capabilities, improved visualization, and a functional viewing experience. Augmented and virtual reality devices include industrial AR goggles, lightweight and unobtrusive consumer smart glasses, and immersive VR headsets. Display technologies range from OLED and microLED to LCoS and DLP, with fields of view from 30 to over 100 degrees, and capabilities such as foveated rendering, eye tracking, and more. All designs cater to the visual perception of the human eye, taking into account pupil size, shape, position, and field of view in their optical specifications. Likewise, a method for testing the visual experience of displays within headsets should take these factors into account, replicating how the human eye perceives digital projections through any AR/VR device frame and integrated optical design.

Unlike traditional measurement systems, Radiant’s AR/VR Lens system accommodates the diverse viewing geometries of AR/VR devices with a front-located lens aperture that enables positioning the imaging system’s entrance pupil inside headsets and glasses at the same place as a human eye. Applying wide-field-of-view (FOV) optics, the system captures an entire display up to 120 degrees horizontal in a single measurement to evaluate critical performance qualities such as brightness, color, contrast, uniformity, and sharpness of projected images. The system can be connected to AR/VR device controls to push test images to the headset display, which are captured by the imaging photometer and lens, and analyzed by applying software tests in sequence with images for fully automated display evaluation.

From booth #4282 at the Photonics West Exhibition, Radiant will showcase its AR/VR Lens solution in two live demonstrations to illustrate the system’s effectiveness as an all-in-one automated visual inspection solution for both AR and VR display devices. Requiring no costly equipment, robotics, complex setup, or advanced programming, the Radiant AR/VR display test system operates from a single position within the headset to evaluate the complete display FOV as seen by the viewer. With benefits for compact size and cost-efficiency, as well as multiple imaging resolutions available up to 43 megapixels, the AR/VR Lens solution can be applied in both lab and production settings for end-to-end display quality inspection. The AR/VR Lens has been recognized for technology innovation by the Vision Systems Design Innovators Awards (Silver honoree) and Laser Focus World Innovators Awards (Gold honoree) programs.

In addition to AR/VR display testing, Radiant will demonstrate its NIR Intensity Lens solution for measuring near-infrared LEDs and lasers. Using Fourier optics, the lens system captures precise radiometric values of angular near-IR light emissions to +/-70 degrees in a single image without rotating the system or source. The solution comprehensively evaluates the radiant intensity, uniformity, and scope of bare LEDs, diffuse “flood” sources, and patterns produced for 3D sensing by diffractive optical elements (DOE), which may contain tens of thousands of emission points. The system is designed for precise measurement of 940-nanometer wavelengths—the range used by many 3D sensing devices for facial recognition, gesture tracking, and lidar. The NIR Intensity Lens was recently recognized for innovation by the Vision Systems Design Innovators Awards (Silver honoree), Laser Focus World Innovators Awards (Gold honoree), and GLOBAL SMT & Packaging GLOBAL Technology Awards (“Metrology” category) programs.

Radiant’s team of automated test and measurement experts will be on-site at the Photonics West Exhibition to demonstrate these lens solutions from the Radiant booth as well as meet with attendees to discuss unique measurement challenges for any illuminated display or light source.

Tramonto Circuits Achieves 99.14% Overall On Time Delivery in 2019


Tramonto Circuits a circuit manufacturer is proud to announce that overall On Time Delivery (OTD) in 2019 increased to 99.14%. This key performance indicator confirms Tramonto Circuits’ commitment to improvement and customer requirements.

Motivated by a company poll that showed customer’s top two requirements for their printed circuit board suppliers were “quality” and “on time delivery” Tramonto Circuits set aggressive goals and included them as Key Performance Indicators (KPI) again for 2019. The goal set for OTD was 98% overall and the goal set for Overall Quality Ratio OQR was 99%.

The overall OTD improved to 99.14% and our Overall Quality Ratio in 2019 calculated by number of returned circuits vs number of circuits delivered was 99.77%! These numbers, although lofty, show the commitment the company has made to its customers.

“We have improved our OTD by 0.3 points, but are nearly perfect! Achieving this kind of record despite 50% of the part numbers including assembly is unheard of in our industry,” said John Talbot President. “We have mightily surpassed our goal of 98% for 2019 and now strive to keep our OTD for 2020 over 98%. Our staff is proud of the accomplishment and look forward to more improvement in 2020.”
