Category: IFA, Exclusive video

Hisense shows their amazing new A5 E Ink Android phone with a 5.8″ E Ink HD+ display, to be sold around €100 or $100 in the near future, they have slightly modified and optimized Android for use with an E Ink display. They claim it can do 10 days of battery life depending on how much the front light is being used and how much the phone is used. It runs Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 (or something like that, not sure which one exactly). Hisense also optimized Android for dual display, after the A6 which they released previously now they also have the A6L which is somewhat improved. Their swipe up from bottom left shows the “Flip to the other side” option that resumes the Android frame on the other display. I have filmed many E Ink phones 6 and 7 years ago here:

Paul Gray, display analyst at IHS Markit, offer us a state of the display industry overview, as Hisense shows their amazing 8K Dual Layer LCD technology, featuring Nanosys Quantum Dots for amazing color, amazing HDR performance, with potentially better performance, higher nits brigthness then OLED and potentially much cheaper. The Hisense 65″ Dual Layer LCD currently sells at about $2500 (less then 20,000rmb) in China. Pricing of these UPED XD could woon get much lower, with 75″ ULED XD 8K hopefully comming to the market at below $3000 next year.

European Research: Georgios Katalagarianakis talks about EU Commission funding Scientific Research

Posted by – August 21, 2019

Georgios Katalagarianakis graduated as mining and metallurgy engineer from the National Technical University of Athens in 1976. He obtained a diploma on mechanical engineering from the University of Thessaloniki in 1989 and a PhD degree from the Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine in 1998.

He has worked for ten years in the underground mining industry and the mineral resources authority of Greece before joining the European Commission in 1989 as administrator. He has been responsible for European research in the fields of mining and metallurgy, recycling, construction and maintenance of buildings and civil infrastructure, tunnelling, industrial safety and ergonomics, use of nanomaterials in buildings, etc. He is currently responsible for research in the area of nanotechnology safety.

Dr. Georgios Katalagarianakis is one of the founders and greatest influencers of the EU NanoSafety Cluster (NSC). Dr. Gatalagarianakis retired from his role in the Directorate-General for Research and Innovation and the NSC honoured and thanked him for his long and invaluable contribution to the nanotechnology and nanosafety scientific community. The ceremony took place during the NanoSafe 2018 conference, which took place in November 2018 in Grenoble, France.

The ceremony was hosted by The French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA), organised by the NSC Dissemination Group with the help of the Nanotechnology Industries Association and presented by Prof. Iseult Lynch of the University of Birmingham.

The NSC is an initiative of the European Commission Directorate-General for Research and Innovation (DG RTD), which sponsors large nanotechnology and nanosafety projects through its European Frameworks.

The EU NanoSafety Cluster maximises the synergies between European-level projects addressing the safety of materials and technologies enabled by the use of nanoforms. The studied aspects include toxicology, ecotoxicology, exposure assessment, mechanisms of interaction, risk assessment and standardisation.

Overall, Europe targets safe and sustainable nanomaterials and nanotechnology innovations. Cluster projects contribute to assuring environmental health and safety (EHS) of this Key Enabling Technology.
