Most chip manufacturers are still probably seeking contractors to bid for sub-threshold chips manufacturing contracts, but by eliminating the heavy and bulky batteries - still one of the components in consumer electronics that still defy economically viable miniaturization - IMAX LCD shutter goggles for 3-D movie viewing home use could become a reality in the very near future.Ringohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09506068154852505840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2115159217896374481.post-71169339442260900312010-10-28T05:04:52.454-07:002010-10-28T05:04:52.454-07:00Have you already heard of sub-threshold chip techn...Have you already heard of sub-threshold chip technology? It could revolutionize IMAX LCD shutter goggle technology by making it more domestically acceptable by eliminating the bulky batteries. sub-threshold semiconductor chips operate as low as 0.3 volts - as opposed to current low-powered chips operating at 0.7 volts. Using sub-threshold chips, the new generation of IMAX goggles could be powered by our head movements alone, instead of the current ones where the weight of the double-A or even triple-A batteries can make wearing IMAX goggles for more than 15 minutes somewhat fatiguing.Sans Ferdinandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15122435607122238678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2115159217896374481.post-56667877119204381982010-10-27T04:35:31.682-07:002010-10-27T04:35:31.682-07:00Just seen thus news report about sub-threshold chi...Just seen thus news report about sub-threshold chip technology that could remain powered up with as low as 0.3 volts as opposed to the present low-power consumption chips running at 0.7 volts. Will sub-threshold chip technology be used for battery free home IMAX LCD goggles powered only by the user's head movement - as in kinetically powered IMAX LCD goggles?Letichehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12167766662268885819noreply@blogger.com
