LG Display, a major innovator of display technologies and part of the Korean LG Corporation, has announced that it will invest KRW1.99 trillion (about $1.75bn) in a new 6th generation (1500mm x 1850mm) flexible OLED display production line in Paju, South Korea, as part of its preemptive efforts to change and lead the approaching era of flexible OLED screens for mobile devices.
CSEM, a Swiss research and technology organisation, has proposed the first commercial solution based on Semtech’s LoRa technology for GPS-free geolocation of connected devices. This technological breakthrough allows the geographical tracking of LoRaWAN end-nodes without any material impact on the bill of materials or battery life, and will help enhance the industrial development of the Internet of Things (IoT).

Scientists from the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have discovered a possible secret to dramatically boosting the efficiency of perovskite solar cells hidden in the nanoscale peaks and valleys of the crystalline material. Solar cells made from compounds that have the crystal structure of the mineral perovskite have captured scientists’ imaginations.
