Solomon Systech today is introducing the SSD1961 display controller designed to support LCD panels up to VGA resolution. The new display controller is ideal for mobile and handheld applications including smartphone, portable media player (PMP), personal navigation device (PND) and other products requiring high-resolution display.
The SSD1961 contains 675K bytes of embedded SRAM which serves as a frame buffer between the host processor and the LCD panel. The chip supports an 8/16/18-bit indirect host interface and 18-bit RGB LCD interface. The feature set includes hardware display rotation (0°, 90°, 180° and 270°), mirroring and windowing, and LCD output enhancement such as brightness, contrast and saturation control.
The SSD1961 integrates the dynamic backlight control technology for advanced power saving. Its sophisticated algorithm helps to reduce backlight power consumption up to 50% and therefore extends the battery life of mobile and handheld products.
