4 terms

qd-oled technical

"powered by next-generation V-stripe QD-OLED panel technology designed for players"

QD-OLED is a display technology that combines organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) with quantum dots to produce brighter, more vivid colors and deeper contrast than conventional panels. Think of it as a light source (OLED) shining through microscopic colored filters (quantum dots) to create richer hues with greater efficiency. Investors care because improvements in picture quality, manufacturing cost and yield can shift market share, pricing power and profit margins across TV and monitor makers and their suppliers.

kvm switch technical

"100W USB-C power delivery, and a built-in KVM switch for seamless multitasking"

A KVM switch is a small hardware device that lets one keyboard, monitor and mouse control multiple computers or servers, flipping between them with a button or shortcut as if switching TV channels. Investors care because it reduces equipment and workspace needs, simplifies operations in data centers and trading floors, and can lower maintenance and staffing costs—factors that affect profitability and scalability in hardware, IT services, and enterprise software businesses.

usb-c technical

"HyperX ProLuma, professional-grade color precision, 100W USB-C power delivery"

USB-C is a small, reversible plug standard used for charging, transferring data and carrying video between devices, similar to a universal power outlet that fits either way. It matters to investors because widespread adoption shapes demand for components, affects manufacturing costs and product compatibility, and can alter competitive dynamics or regulatory risk across hardware makers and their suppliers.

neurotechnology medical

"develop a gaming headset outfitted with neurotechnology"

Neurotechnology encompasses tools and methods that interface with the brain to monitor, understand, or influence its activity. It matters to investors because advancements in this field can lead to breakthroughs in healthcare, mental health treatments, and brain-computer interfaces, potentially creating new markets and disruptive innovations. Think of it as developing new ways to read or communicate with the brain, opening opportunities for growth and technological progress.
