STMicroelectronics Showcases its Latest Products and Technologies Augmenting the Mobile Experience for Consumers
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Exciting demos at Mobile World Congress 2013 showcase products available now for
the fastest-growing product segments
Geneva, February 26, 2013 - STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM), a global
semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum of electronics
applications and a key enabler of many of the innovations that have already
transformed the world of mobile devices, will present its rich offer of products
and technologies, available now, at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona on
February 25-28 at Hall 7, Booth E110.
ST's new strategy addresses the wireless market, focusing on the fastest-growing
segments and leveraging the already established strong customer relationships
with the major wireless players in the industry. These growing
segments--Sensors, Imaging and Opto, MCUs, Standard Logic, Display Drivers, and
Discretes--are projected to grow at a compound annual rate of nearly 17% over
the next 4 years, almost 40% faster than the rest of the mobile handset and
media tablet market, according to market-research firm IHS.[1] ST's new efforts
build on the Company's earlier successes in enabling important innovations for
portable electronics in areas as varied as power management, gesture sensing,
security and imaging.
Illustrating the breadth and depth of its portfolio, ST's demos cover five key
themes in the mobile world:
· Sensing, where ST will build on its position as the world's leading
manufacturer[2] of MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) devices and will also
introduce a revolutionary proximity detector that cures smartphone hang-ups;
· Security, where ST's Near Field Communication and related Secure
Elements provide the optimum solutions for mobile payments, mobile ticketing,
securing personal data or interacting with equipment. A demo will highlight ST's
Secure Element hosting Google Wallet in Nexus devices;
· Sharing and interaction, where the world's smallest and most efficient
image-projection engine uses red, blue and green lasers and MEMS micro-mirrors
to project amazing images from a mobile device to any surface;
· Energy management; where ST's unique energy-harvesting EEPROM and
other demos will emphasize the Company's commitment to minimizing power
consumption; and
· Enhanced audio experience, where industry-unique audio engines and
MEMS microphones extend boundaries of innovation in personal audio to realize a
new generation of superior-sounding active noise-cancellation headsets and smart
audio accessories.
ST will also demonstrate the superior performance of its ground-breaking FD-SOI
(Fully-Depleted Silicon-on-Insulator) technology at 28nm that is not only faster
than the equivalent bulk CMOS technology but also much simpler to manufacture
and allows consumer devices to run cooler and faster.
