Analysts HIS iSuppli estimates that over 60million smartphones will have shipped last year with a mismatched processor and display interface. QuickLogic believes it has the answer with ArcticLink III VX CSSPs (customer specific standard products). The latest generation of the company's VEE (Visual Enhancement Engine) and DPO (Display Power Optimization) technologies, handle virtually all displays used in tablet and smartphone designs, says the company. They feature upgraded VEE and DPO 2.0 technologies based on the Iridix core from Apical. Resolution is 1920x1200, or WUXGA, surpassing current HD standards, says the company. The company's VEE HD+ technology dynamically optimise the display content's dynamic range, contrast, and colour saturation based on a human visual model. The DPO HD+ technology works in conjunction with the VEE HD+ technology to extend battery life by as much as 50% through modulating display brightness based on ambient lighting and content. There are 13 devices: some have integrated bridging between RGB, MIP DSI and LVDS standards to support mismatched interface systems. For matched interface support, selected devices have MIPI ‘pass-through' interface architectures. To support the integration of embedded pico projectors, other devices have a single-input, dual-output architecture, supporting both matched and mismatched interfaces.
