The microdisplay Leti presented earlier this year at CES Las Vegas was remarkable in two ways. First, its luminance, which is 1,000 times greater than that of current microdisplays, meaning the display remains visible even in bright sunlight. Second, the microdisplay’s 10-micron pixel pitch, which makes it possible to play high-resolution video. The prototype will […] >>

  • Research
Leti has developed a compact antenna (with a radius of just 5 cm at 868 MHz) that can selectively read RFID tags just a few centimeters away from each other. A demonstration of the antenna—retrofitted to a commercially-available portable RFID reader—was completed at the end of the French National Research Agency project Socrate. During the […] >>

Microresonators: the quality factor

  • News
  • Research
Microresonators are offering increasingly impressive “quality factors.” In other words, the duration of the vibration induced by an initial impulse is getting longer and longer. This sounds like good news for the applications in which the components will be used—and it is! However, this improved performance is creating a challenge for researchers at Leti. With […] >>

  • Research
Leti’s 12 Mb germanium-antimony-tellurium phase-change memory—which could be used in tomorrow’s embedded applications—recently produced record results for performance at high temperatures, a crucial step forward in the march toward automotive applications. And major advances in simulation are providing insights into why the memory is so reliable. Leti is also working with STMicroelectronics to improve the […] >>
