Leadis Technology Announces 262K Color QQVGA LTPS Driver IC with Low Power Architecture



SUNNYVALE, Calif., July 25 // -- Leadis Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:LDIS), a leading mixed-signal semiconductor developer of color display driver ICs for small panel displays, today announced sample availability of the LDS331, a 262K color LTPS driver IC with integrated controller supporting 132 (RGB) x 162, 128 (RGB) x 160, and 130 (RGB) x 130 display resolutions. Featuring an enhanced voltage boost and Vcom generation architecture, the LDS331 was engineered to provide rich, vivid color images at low power levels for mobile phone main displays. With integration of 385k bits of full frame memory, the driver also relieves the processor from continuous transmission of graphics data for static picture display, reducing power consumption compared to memory-less drivers. The LDS331 also supports 3:1 multiplexing for more efficient utilization of source outputs, four gamma curves and temperature compensation to enable accurate color rendering across handset operating conditions. With availability of the LDS331, Leadis now offers display drivers spanning all mainstream LCD technologies that compete at the QQVGA resolution, including CSTN, amorphous silicon, and LTPS technologies.

LTPS TFT technology is differentiated by its ability to support the high pixel densities that result from resolutions as high as VGA being built into mobile phone displays. With higher electron mobility compared to amorphous silicon TFT, LTPS TFT is also capable of supporting the integration of multiplexers built directly onto the LCD glass, making more efficient utilization of driver IC source and gate signals.

"Leadis has stated its focus on developing driver IC solutions directed toward the rapidly growing amorphous silicon and LTPS TFT technologies," said Kevin Plouse, Vice President of Marketing. "With its low power architecture and multiple features enabling enhanced image quality, the LDS331 is an excellent example of our commitment to providing compelling solutions for LTPS."

About the LDS331

The LDS331 262k color LTPS LCD driver IC is a highly-integrated, high-performance device with integrated display RAM, on-chip oscillator, DC/DC converters, and temperature compensation to insure optimal visual performance.

In addition, the LDS331 includes advanced programmable display features such as area scrolling and partial display mode for power-reducing screen saver controls, line and frame inversion for low cross talk, and color depth selection for enhanced screen performance.
