Source/Type: Compound Semiconductors Online - Reported News

Author: LIGHTimes Staff

May 20, 2008... Microsemi Corporation of Irvine, California USA and Chi Mei Optoelectronics (CMO), have partnered in the design of an advanced TV backlit with RGB (red/green/blue) LEDs. The system will be on display at the 2008 Society for Information Display Conference in Los Angeles, May 20-22.

CMO reportedly designed the high performance large screen TV utilizing advanced LED drivers based on Microsemi's Digital Advanced Zone Lighting technology. CMO says that the TV supports the scanning backlight mode for backlight LEDs (1-D) and the more sophisticated zone dimming mode (2-D) as well. According to CMO, the scanning backlight mode significantly reduces motion blur phenomena within LCD TVs. CMO says that the zone dimming mode helps reduce motion blur, but mainly enhances the contrast ratio and reduces the power consumption.
