rom medical to industrial, every market is being disrupted by
the Internet of Things (IoT). Along with its partners and distributors, ON Semiconductor will host a series of technical seminars in several key locations worldwide. The first seminar series about ‘Innovations in Smart Homes and Buildings’, sponsored by ZF Friedrichshafen AG and Bosch Sensortec, features technical presentations from leading experts and hands-on demonstrations. The seminars will present solutions using technologies that are transforming and digitising
consumer and industrial markets within the Internet of Things. The focus is energy-efficient applications for access control, surveillance and interaction that improves comfort for the user. At each of the eleven locations, ZF Friedrichshafen AG will be presenting its Energy Harvesting product range. Participants will have the opportunity to get a hands-on experience of the battery-free and wireless products, and to discuss projects and potential applications with the ZF sales team. The UK seminar takes place on 5 November, in Milton Keynes. For information on how to apply, visit ON Semiconductor’s website at:

P
lessey has introduced its microLED Direct-Drive display platform and development kit, based on its proprietary monolithic GaN- on-Silicon technology.
Direct-Drive targets specialised applications that require symbolic content, instead of individually addressed pixelised content. Due to the small form factor of the Direct-Drive display, it can be easily integrated into Smart glasses head-mounted displays for navigation, sport and leisure and optical instruments. The symbolic content is fully customisable, using monochrome or fully colourised segments with pixel capabilities down to two- micron, allowing for ultra-fine, ultra-high-resolution detail. The display is self-emissive and it can be driven directly from an external source, requiring no backplane, which simplifies the manufacturing process and improves power consumption. “With a total input power of 250 mW, Plessey’s native green segments can emit two million nits of brightness, higher than OLED with a power consumption as low as 50 mW, allowing daytime viewing and a longer battery life.”
