Business Expo '99
On 8th
September 1999, Hybrid Electronics attended Business Expo '99, an Import
Replacement and Trade show which was held at the Sandown Racecourse in
Melbourne. Business Expo '99 aimed to: stimulate regional trade, save import
dollars, and generate employment. Over sixty firms displayed their wares at the
show and hundreds of visitors enjoyed the opportunity to learn about the
products and services available locally. The Hybrid Electronics display was a
huge success. Photos of the Hybrid Electronics display can be seen on the
internet: www.hybrid-electronics.com/events.htm.
Colour Pixels
Would
you like to see an LED screen with no visual distortion, have infinite variety
and clarity of colour? Yes! Hybrid Electronics and Persistent
Vision have developed a method of manufacturing large colour displays by
calibrating pixels containing red, blue and green LED’s to provide uniform
intensity and colour. Our particular interest is in manufacturing linear arrays
of pixels (16 in a strip of 3.2"). The benefits are consistent colour and
brightness, maximum LED life with lowest mean currents, higher quality displays,
and lower cost due to the reduction in LED specifications.
Energy Saving Lighting
One
of our customers is using a thick film hybrid control module for energy saving
in large fluorescent light installations used in shops, warehouses and offices.
The reason for using a hybrid rather than a PCB is size, resistor accuracy,
reliability and circuit security at a competitive price as the customer is
expecting large export sales. In the long term the large component assembly of
the product will be manufactured overseas under license and the hybrid module
will be exported at low cost.
"Muffler"
Earmuffs
With
our customer, we are making a noise limiting circuit designed to be fitted into
earmuffs that lets you hear while it protects you, doing both jobs at the same
time! It allows a wide variety of users to hear normal conversations and sounds
when noise levels are below 82 dB(A). When environmental noise exceeds this
level the new calibrated stereo circuit switches off instantly. Users then have
the full protection capabilities of their earmuffs until the noise levels
decrease below 82 dB(A), when the circuit automatically switches itself on
again. Encapsulation of the hybrid circuit means that it will operate reliably
under extreme hot, humid and dusty environmental conditions - conditions where
standard PCB electronics are subject to corrosion and failure.
