RFID Intelligent Displays

OLED based display are being developed in Europe for future applications. Researchers are pairing RFID technology to provide intelligence and interaction with users. ...

... "It might be possible for a store to use its shelves as an RFID antenna that would power the OLEDs in the product packaging, Maaninen says. The project team developed on that concept – an extension of Near Field Communication (NFC) – in another demonstrator that consisted of a simple business card showing the EU flag. A single-coloured OLED lit up the stars of the flag if a mobile phone with an RFID transmitter was placed near it. " ...

High-Scalability RFID Architecture

Mojix introduces European version of the Mojix STAR system, its UHF passive RFID solution for high-scalability. The system delivers significant improvements in reader sensitivity, extended read range, and additional coverage. ...

... "Functioning as a single network element at the enterprise edge, a Mojix STAR system consists of one or more Mojix STAR Receivers each managing up to 512 low-cost Mojix eNode transmitters, which are oriented to define the system's potentially huge, three dimensional coverage area. Mojix eNode transmitters provide energy to all passive RFID tags within their specified interrogation spaces. The centralized, high-sensitivity Mojix STAR receiver processes the resulting tag signals from across the system's 25,000 sq meter coverage area, including non line-of-sight tag signals. This unprecedented receive sensitivity is the result of Mojix’s use of advanced digital signal processing, phased array receiver, digital beam forming and digital packet radio to detect the faintest signals across large distances in noisy RF environments. " ...
