New technologies such as augmented reality (AR), artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud computing are rapidly opening up opportunities for entirely new business models and the future of work in industry. However, internet-based services also bring additional challenges in terms of data security and user acceptance. The German Federal Ministry of Education and Research is funding various interdisciplinary projects. At the closing conference, the joint project "secureAR" won the Technology Award with its open, cloud-based service platform and a new AR assistance system equipped with OLED microdisplays from Fraunhofer FEP (Dresden, Germany).
LG Display (Seoul, Korea), the world’s leading innovator of display technologies, has announced that its OLED TV and monitor panels have earned the ‘Circadian Friendly’ certification from TÜV Rheinland, a leading global independent testing, inspection and certification body. The company’s OLED panels become the first displays to receive this certification, marking a groundbreaking achievement for the industry.
3D-Micromac AG (Chemnitz, Germany), an industry leader in laser micromachining and roll-to-roll laser systems for the semiconductor, photovoltaic, glass and display markets, has announced new developments with its laser micromachining solutions used in manufacturing power devices, magnetic sensors, and microLEDs, as well as in semiconductor advanced packaging. These innovations were highlighted at SEMICON West, 11-13 July 2023, in San Francisco.
