I was at the Embedded Systems Conference today in San Jose, and I saw a presentation where a   Sony XEL-1 OLED TV   was torn down live. It’s a sweet piece of technology, the crispest screen I’ve ever seen. Unlike LCDs, the screen doesn’t develop weird artifacts when you poke at it or twist it. I first saw it at CES in January, and then I got to lay my hands on it ever so briefly while in Japan a couple weeks ago…so tempted to get one…and then, I run into it today, again, by chance: the speaker’s luggage was lost so the teardown presentation, originally scheduled for yesterday, got moved to the day I was at the conference. Unfortunately, I failed to note who the speaker and sponsoring organization was so I can’t properly credit them; if someone knows I’d appreciate a note in the comments. Kudos to the speaker; a teardown is a gutsy thing to do in front of a live audience, as hacking is not an easy performance art. I had to demonstrate a certain soldering procedure once at a factory in C

Varactors are used as voltage-controlled capacitors . They are commonly used in parametric amplifiers , parametric oscillators and voltage-controlled oscillators as part of phase-locked loops and frequency synthesizers . For example, varactors are used in the tuners of television sets to electronically tune the receiver to different stations.
