Samsung F2080 LCD Monitor with cPVA technology

Continuing our showcase of great LCD computer monitors, we have come to present the Samsung F2080 20 inch LCD monitor.

The Samsung F2080 20" 16:9 widescreen LCD displays feature cPVA technology, for accurate image performance and professional-caliber color. This is one of those Samsung LCD monitors with 100% support of sRGB color mode, the recommended color space for the internet, and the default color space for many computers, digital cameras and scanners, and 178º viewing angles. This ensures a smooth and accurate color to everyone gathered around the screen. Or just to you, if you prefer watching the screen from a very awkward angle. The innovative cPVA technology features a liquid-crystal cell structure that minimizes light leakage for brilliant, accurate color and enables wide viewing angles and high contrast ratios.

Speaking of high contrast ratios, the high 3,000:1 static contrast ratio provides subtle transitions in shadows, and details in the whites and blacks. The 2.5 mm bezel-to-screen depth and the 15 mm ultra-narrow bezel combine to give you an even, virtually seamless display area when tiling multiple displays. Also the Tilt/Swivel/Pivot/130 mm height-adjustable stands also add comfort.

Aerojet and NEC Explore Low Power Ion Propulsion Systems for Satellites

Aerojet, a GenCorp company, and NEC Corporation announced today that the companies will explore the feasibility of jointly supplying low power ion propulsion systems for the U.S. and Japanese aerospace markets. Ion propulsion systems can be used for geosynchronous satellite propulsion systems and deep space missions providing significant advantages over traditional chemical propulsion systems due to the higher fuel efficiency.

Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) and NEC have jointly developed a low power "Microwave Ion Engine" that uses microwaves for ion generation, enabling long life and high mission reliability. NEC's Microwave Ion Engine is currently flying on JAXA's HAYABUSA asteroid rendezvous and study mission, and has proven to be robust and reliable, with more than 30,000 hours of in-space operation.

Aerojet's electric propulsion products are currently flying on more than 150 operational satellites and span a broad range of electric propulsion products. Dr. Roger Myers, general manager of Aerojet's Redmond operations, states that "the low power Microwave Ion Engine from NEC provides an excellent complement to Aerojet's broad electric propulsion product offerings."

"Aerojet is a leading supplier of satellite propulsion systems in the United States and has broad experience and technical capabilities with satellite propulsion systems," said Kunio Kondo, senior general manager, Aerospace and Defense Operations Unit, NEC Corporation. "Collaborating with Aerojet will help NEC to expand its low power Microwave Ion Engine business in the U. S. market."
