The Swiss federal materials science and technology laboratory scientists have recently improved the development of flexible solar cells before, realized the record-breaking 18.7% of efficiency.

Although flexible copper indium gallium selenium (CIGS) solar battery is currently an emerging field, but, under the leadership of the year a team of scientists after many years of hard work, improve the efficiency of the materials. Watts is the study of the principal. He said: “CIGS solar battery for us to realize 18.7% conversion is a huge success, this further embodies the practicability of CIGS.” The research team before making a flexible solar cells have 17.5% efficiency. Between CIGS layer covered with impurity diffusion barrier a steel foil – the material can prevent thin coating, temperature diffusion about 550 degrees Celsius, this is the main part of the conversion rate achieve 17.5%. In order to achieve 18.7% of efficiency, scientists improved indium gallium selenium layer of copper structure characteristic and special low temperature deposition to generate layer. Scientists believe that flexible high-performance CIGS one advantage of solar cells because its simplifies the process and reduce the production cost.

Recently had the news said apple COO cook went to South Korea and samsung high-level contacts for future iPad discuss AMOLED display problem three orders, but analysts say samsung AMOLED display the current capacity for apple iPad 3 limited how much the screen provides 9.7 inches or some unrealistic.

From the present situation, samsung new AMOLED line despite ade barled launched soon AMOLED screen, but samsung new line is mainly are manufacturing small size and medium size, and for OLED panel is mainly the use of their own products. Samsung’s AMOLED capacity by the end of this year will reach 800 million pieces per month four inches panel, and samsung’s 6 inches to 9 inches of AMOLED panel’s new line is put into production plan until 2012 will officially start.

Plus, because samsung own among Tab needs AMOLED screen, 7 inches in quantity also is very breathtaking, so for now samsung cannot attend to apple iPad AMOLED screen three requirements.

OLED association Barry recently in an interview before, said the 2011 apple will not be launched using OLED display products, and material even though there is this apple aspects of the plan is the 2012 things. But samsung will still be at the end of 2011 to 2012 for apple launched three inches to 4 inches of OLED panel, but to provide seven inches to 9 inches of OLED panel is still not realistic.

According to foreign media reports, Microsoft in 2011 consumer electronics exhibition and conference on microlenders by MIX, which collects data ’11 “has announced that the next version of Windows in the ARM architecture processors will run on Windows 8 and showed early build version. Although Microsoft has denied chief executive Steve ballmer confirmed that Microsoft will roll out in 2011, but that Windows 8, we all know that Windows 8 will at some time roll out. When Windows 8 launch, it maybe will soon dominate tablet computer market.

Below are Microsoft may thus and eventually win the tablet computer war reason: unity of the five experience. Microsoft Windows desktop operating system market accounts for nearly 90% of the share. Although flat-panel computer and desktop computers are different environment, however, users will like to look and feel and they are already familiar with operating system consistent tablet computer.

A bug. Intel to investors say, ARM version of Windows will not run old-fashioned application, therefore, it will significantly reduce Windows tablet available software. However, Microsoft says the Intel guesses were wrong. Microsoft has demonstrated based on ARM architecture in the tablet computer running on Office and IE 10 software. The more users to use them in your own desktop computers used to have used the same software, the more likely the tablet computer success.

Diversity of hardware. Apple is currently in the tablet market domination. But, apple iPad kinds rarely. Microsoft’s Windows tablet computer might like now of forensic tablet computer are as various shapes and sizes of choice. This diversity will give users with various shapes and hardware technology specifications choice, not take one size fits all methods.

The price? You may have noticed that this question mark. On the one hand, different manufacturers will promote the tablet computer competition, promote price competition and price competition in the industry between Windows tablet computer price competition. Free to use different hardware technical specifications will also reduce the cost. But, apple now seems to monopolize the tablet computer, many of the key components of other manufacturers hard to purchase enough to mass production to reduce costs need hardware. Therefore, the price is a hard to say clear grey areas.

Don’t hurry. Yes. I know Microsoft for tablet computer and not novices. Microsoft 10 years the PC, computerized promotion flat but didn’t succeed. With the iPad this generation tablet computer, Microsoft rolls out thus far has been on the fence. Microsoft’s strategy seems to be focusing on is done right, rather than eager to enter the market.

If Microsoft in mobile tablet computer aspect is done right, provide similar to Windows experience, and to provide direct and iPad competitive price, Microsoft still have chance to dominate the desktop computer as it as eventually dominate tablet computer market.
