At the Korea Electronics Show here, local companies showed a dizzying array of products. 3-D TVs, DRAMs, LED ICs and other products were big hits.
Here’s the top 10 technologies or products-and associated videos-at the event:
1. Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. is the world’s first DRAM maker to ship a 30-nm-class device. This is a 2-Gbit DDR3 chip, base on 35-nm technology. That can be seen here.
2. Samsung also showed a 40-inch virtual holographic LCD. That can be seen here. It also rolled out a transparent LCD that could explain the history of wine.
3. LG Display’s 3-D LCD TV home theatre. It’s an48-inch system!
4. LG’s 19-inch flexible electronic display paper. It’s a 2,560 x 1,600 monochrome display.
5. Hynix Semiconductor Inc. tipped a 30-nm-class DRAM, which will ship next year.
6. South Korean startup Imagis Co. Ltd. is shipping perhaps the next big thing in mobile devices-a multi-purpose, haptic driver. Haptics is a tactile feedback technology. By applying a force, an end user can feel a vibration or motion on a system.
7. Analog foundry vendor Dongbu HiTek said its BCD process technology was used to make an LED driver IC. It was developed in collaboration with ADDtek, a Taiwanese fabless company. Dongbu has a 180-nm BDC process, enabling a range of apps.
8. LG’s smart TV. It’s a Web connected TV. (Sorry for the bad camera work!).
9. Samsung showed a similar smart TV technology.
10. Not to be outdone, Samsung showed a full HD, 3-D LED TV. And here’s another 3-D LCD TV from the company.
