Samsung announces "intelligent" chip which reacts to light

0 Comments | AFP, September, 2006

SEOUL (AFP) — South Korea's Samsung Electronics announced an "intelligent" light-sensitive microchip, allowing displays on devices like mobile phones to be clearly seen even in bright sunlight. The new display chips will maintain image quality on liquid crystal display screens by automatically measuring sunlight and adjusting the backlight, the company said in a statement.

Because of their sunlight-detecting functions, the new chips will be able to save power when mobile phones are used indoors, the company said. Mass production of the chips will start later this year. © 2006 AFP
