TV that can be carried in pocket

Coming soon the QD TV, say British scientists who have developed a technology which they claim could be used to produce TV that can be rolled up and carried in a pocket. It is bound to replace liquid crystal displays, LCDs in near future, including the desktop and notebook computer spaces and televisions.

A team at Manchester University has actually developed a new form of light-emitting crystals, known as quantum dots, QD, which can be used to produce ultra-thin televisions. The tiny crystals, which are 100,000 times smaller than the width of a human hair, can be printed onto flexible plastic sheets to produce a paper-thin display which can be easily carried around, or even onto wallpaper to create giant room-size screens, say the scientists.

They hope the first quantum dot televisions like current flat-screen TVs, but with improved colour and thinner displays will be available in shops by end of next year; a flexible version is expected to take at least three years to reach the market.

Michael Edelman, Chief Executive of Nanoco, a spin out company set up by the scientists behind the technology at Manchester University, said: "We are working with some major Asian electronics companies. The first products we are expecting to come to market using quantum dots will be the next generation of flat-screen televisions.

"The real advantage provided by quantum dots, however, is that they can be printed on to a plastic sheet that can rolled up. It's likely these will be small personal devices. Although Edelman was unable to reveal which companies Nanoco are working with due to commercial agreements, it is believed that electronics giants Sony, Sharp, Samsung and LG are all working on quantum dot television technology.

New device disables phone while driving

One product to hit the market, software by Dallas-based WQN Inc., can disable a cell phone while its owner is driving.

The new product uses GPS technology, which can tell how fast a person is traveling. But it can't know whether the person is driving and therefore it can needlessly lock a phone.

Aegis Mobility, a Canadian software company, plans to release this Global Positioning System-based product, known as DriveAssistT.

DriveAssistT system will disable a phone at driving speeds and send a message to callers or texters saying the person they are trying to reach is too busy driving. Setup involves installing the device in your car, which should take all of two seconds, and installing an app on the phone you want to disable when the car is in motion.

Text messaging or talking on your cell phone while driving is a nasty habit, dangerous and illegal. It's hard to break habits sometimes though, but you don't have to rely on willpower alone. Hence E-mail, texting, phone calls, web access, the camera and more they’ll all be rendered useless once the car is in motion.
