Development of image adjustment LSI by OKI Semiconductor
Among the various electronic devices with display system vehicle mounted camera system in particular have seen an increasing demand in worldwide scale. Furthermore, among display system for such camera system, demand for car audio systems with TFT LCDs is expected to grow due to growing awareness for ubiquitous car navigation systems. Currently, due to its cost effectiveness many audio systems with display panels are simply built by just adding a display monitor to an existing car audio system but optimizing the image quality in such system is technically challenging. In response to this challenge OKI Semiconductor has developed an image adjustment LSI incorporating a Timing Controller (TCON) targeted at small to mid sized TFT LCDs. Read more
