Check out this demonstration of Qualcomm's upcoming Mirasol displays at the SID Display Week 2013 expo. The most interesting prototye was a 5.1" panel with a resolution of 2560 x 1440, a pixel density of 577ppi! Besides the ultra-high resolution, this screen also has the advantage of using 6x less power than LCD and OLED displays. It's still a couple of years away from being ready for mass production though.
We got a look at a previously announced 1.5-inch panel embedded on the top of an "always-on" smartphone and on the face of a smartwatch. Though a rep took care to emphasize that these were just mockups, he said the screen will soon show up in some third-party devices.
More interesting, though, was the company's next-gen display: a 5.1-inch panel sporting a stunning 2,560 x 1,440 (577 ppi) resolution. Viewed up close, it delivers crisp images, but the reflective display kicks back a silvery tint and colors don't pop as they do on other handsets.

ASRock A-Style Conformal Coating For 8 Series Motherboards
Posted by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 05/23/2013 07:13 AM | 0 comment(s) ]
You have butterfingers, unfortunately we're not talking about those delicious sweets, but the kind that makes you practice Newton's law of universal gravitation every once in a while. And according to Murphy's law, things tend to get even worse when your slippery hands get involved with electronics. What usually happens when you spill beverages or other conductive liquids onto your motherboard is that it turns into a not-so-fun sizzling barbeque fest, and then your motherboard dies of short circuit fatefully.
That's where A-Style, Conformal Coating comes in. The special layer of Conformal Coating makes ASRock's motherboards invulnerable to conductive liquids, so overclockers won't have to worry about accidently spilling liquid nitrogen, liquid helium or even clam chowder over their motherboards while they are overclocking. Along with conductive liquids, Conformal Coating also protects the motherboard against dust, corrosion and extreme temperatures. It is the ultimate armor for the upcoming 8 Series motherboards.
