Tianli semiconductor launch display driver chip designed for handheld devices

Teralane semiconductor (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. (TLS) recently launched a Color STN display driver chip TLS8101, and has started production. The chip is an advanced high voltage hybrid CMOS chip, specifically designed for low-power handheld display devices, can be applied to mobile phones, MP4 and other portable terminals.

According to reports, TLS8101 chip consists of 556 high voltage output pin, used to drive the RGB column and the 160 row of the CSTN screen, support 262K display color, vivid and natural image can be achieved. The chip also supports high speed liquid crystal display, including programming function, 2D acceleration, rich color lookup table, screen rolling, partial display function, while 2D accelerator can achieve a straight line, rectangle, circle, screen and copy window function.

TLS Lin Dr. Jonathan said: "the launch of this chip can better meet the market for high quality optical effects and low power requirements of the driver chip. The most important is that the mainland market Chinese basic driving chip in the procurement of foreign market Color STN, the chip production means, enterprises can achieve in the domestic procurement, localized supply, the LCD production enterprises can further reduce production costs, to break the LCD driver chip is completely dependent on imports of the embarrassing situation". TLS company since its inception, with the technical background of the Silicon Valley, has always stressed its financing mode of the industry chain upstream and downstream industry development, industry resources and technical advantages of effective integration, and to ensure the sales channels.

According to the market survey report shows that the size of the global LCD chip market in 2008 will increase to $7 billion, which means that the compound growth in 2008 global LCD chip sales will be 17% rate, and unit shipments will grow 29%. TLS marketing director Tony Wang said: "TLS Color STN IC not only provides the driver chip, can also provide a highly integrated module and a full set of solutions, in the face of the strong market demand, believe that customers will get more profit from Tianli high performance products".

At the same time, Tianli semiconductor also announced a partnership with Singapore foundry Semiconductor (Chartered) to reach a strategic partnership, joint development and production of a new generation of chips. Chartered Semiconductor is the world's fourth largest foundries, in recent years, the company frequently signed agreements with IBM, AMD, Samsung Electronics, Infineon and other predators in the industry, cooperation in the development of technology and manufacturing oem. Teralane semiconductor had also with SKYWORTH, ZTE, etc. our company signed an agreement to cooperate in the development of production driven IC. Tianli said that the cooperation between the two, will undoubtedly mean a huge market profit.

According to the cooperation agreement, chartered will invest days, days as the rapid development of the China LCD driver supplier, the two sides became commercial strategic partner closely, sharing of resources and technology, combined with the development and improvement of semiconductor wafer technology TFT - driver and OLED - driver. The specific details of the agreement, the two sides did not disclose.
