“i” minicar from Mitsubishi Motors Corporation has been awarded the “Good Design Grand Prize 2006″ (the prize of the Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry) in the Good Design Award run by the Japan Industrial Design Promotion Organization. The “i” is the first minicar model to win the Good DesignGrand Prize, which is given to the most outstanding entry among all categories in the year. The minicar, “i” was developed as an innovative premium small car that successfully overcomes the tradeoffs traditionally associated with the category: design versus comfortable interior space; comfortable interior space versus impact safety. Mitsubishi Motors has conquered these challenges by developing a new and leading edge rear-midship layout that mounts the engine forward of the rear axle line.

TPO Displays Corp. of Taiwan has developed a 4.3-inch (11 cm diagonal) low-temperature polycrystalline TFT LCD panel for multimedia products that can change display resolution to 800 x 480, 480 x 272 and 400 x 240 pixels depending on the type of content to be displayed. Expected applications are game consoles, PDAs, media players and other next-generation mobile products. Using a wide VGA, transmissive LCD, the panel achieved vertical and horizontal viewing angles of 170 degrees, respectively, a contrast ratio of 450:1 and luminance of 350 cd/m2 based on the company’s “Normally Black” technology, which keeps the LCD panel in black mode when no voltage is running. The 16.7 million-color display is reportedly good at color reproduction under a variety of lighting.

At the Power Systems World 2006 trade show today, Infineon Technologies AG announced its next-generation family of power semiconductors used for DC/DC converter applications in computers, telecommunications and consumer electronics devices. The new OptiMOS 3 30V N-channel MOSFET family improves reliability and energy efficiency of 1 to 1.3 percent in typical power supply applications by featuring industry-leading performance in key power conversion measures, such as on-state resistance, power density and gate charge. A 1 percent improvement in 1,200 W server power systems worldwide would result in about 360 megawatts savings per year, potentially eliminating the need for one conventional power plant. The performance characteristics of OptiMOS 3 technology allow power supply manufacturers to achieve desired performance levels using fewer devices, resulting in a 33 percent reduction in the number of MOSFETs typically required to implement a DC/DC converter. In addition to providing the flexibility to develop smaller DC/DC converters for a required power rating, OptiMOS 3 devices can be used to increase the output power of a power supply at a given standard size.
