Advances in Display Technology
One of the biggest ongoing developments in consumer electronics is advances in display technology. High-definition LCD and OLED screens are now found in most televisions, computers, smartphones and tablets. These displays offer vibrant colors, deep blacks and wider viewing angles compared to older display types. Manufacturers are continuing to refine LCD and OLED technology to make screens even thinner, with higher resolutions and refresh rates. Foldable displays are also emerging, allowing devices to take on new form factors. Micro LED is another promising new display technology that could make its way into consumer products in the coming years, offering better brightness, contrast and battery life over existing screen types.
The Rise of Smart Home Devices
The concept of a smart home that is Consumer Electronics and connected is becoming more of a reality. Devices like smart speakers, security cameras, smart lighting, thermostats and appliances are enabling consumers to control their homes using voice commands or smartphone apps. Popular platforms include Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, Apple HomeKit and Samsung SmartThings. These systems allow consumers to control smart home devices from different manufacturers through a single interface. More appliances and fixtures are gaining network connectivity and intelligence, making the smart home experience more seamless and capable. Home automation is becoming an important segment in consumer electronics.
Advancing Camera Technologies
Advanced camera technologies continue enhancing the photographic and video capabilities of consumer electronics. Most smartphones now feature multiple rear cameras including wide, ultra-wide and telephoto lenses for versatile shooting. Computational photography techniques like Portrait Mode use depth sensing and machine learning to blur backgrounds for sharp subject isolation. Low-light performance is also vastly improved through techniques like Night Mode. 8K video recording is appearing on higher-end devices and cameras give users cinema-like footage at home. Action cameras are getting smaller and more versatile as well. Drones equipped with 4K cameras offer aerial photography and videography as a new type of consumer electronic. Computer vision features powered by AI are enabling new types of experiences across many devices as well.
