Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation today announced that Ariel Lasry, the Chief Engineer at Toshiba Electronics Europe GmbH, its European subsidiary, has received the 2018 MIPI Lifetime Achievement Award, a MIPI® Alliance Membership Award. The award recognizes Mr. Lasry’s many and valuable contributions to the alliance, and was presented at an awards ceremony held during a member’s meeting luncheon in Montreal, Canada on March 27.

 

This is the second time in a row that Toshiba Group has been honored by MIPI. Last year, Toshiba Corporation was presented with the MIPI Corporate Award. [1]

 

MIPI Alliance is a collaborative global organization that designs and promotes hardware and software interfaces for mobile devices that simplify component integration. The MIPI Alliance Membership Awards Program annually recognizes outstanding contributions and achievements by individual and corporate members. The MIPI Lifetime Achievement Award is annually presented to an individual who has participated in MIPI Alliance efforts for at least seven years, and provided significant contributions or leadership to a working group, the board, or other MIPI Alliance entities.

 

Mr. Lasry, Chief Engineer at Toshiba Electronics Europe GmbH, has distinguished himself in multiple capacities as a working group advocate during the development and maturity of “MIPI DSI-2SM” and “MIPI D-PHYSM”. He has also made notable contributions to the Technical Steering Group and to MIPI’s Board in formulating new directions, and to enhancing MIPI’s relationship with other organizations.

 

Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation [2] has played a leading role in developing specifications for mobile and mobile-influenced devices, and many specifications developed by the MIPI Alliance are global standards. Today, the scope of MIPI® specifications is expanding from mobile devices to industrial equipment and automotive systems.

 

Participation in the alliance also brings Toshiba Electronics Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation advantages in the semiconductor business—in promoting its interface bridge ICs, for example.

 

Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation will continue to contribute to the promotion of MIPI® specifications.
