This is not going to transform your life completely but I guess to a certain extent yes, Samsung presents a whole new cheaper DDI (Display Driver IC) for PDP (Plasma) screens and HD panels.
Samsung Delivers Power-Saving Display Driver for Plasma Screens
Seoul, Mar 05 - Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., a leader in superior and advanced semiconductor technology, announced that its latest, broad 256-channel display driver IC (DDI) for plasma display panels (PDP) is in group production now.
This technology has an edge over conformist PDP driver ICs, and creates superior cost efficiencies by dipping down the number of DDIs per panel, too good.
Samsung’s spokesperson read out that-’The flat panel TV industry is experiencing unprecedented growth due to consumer demand for a high-definition experience,’ said Jin-Tae Kim, vice president, DDI business development team of System LSI Division, Samsung Electronics. ‘Our new display driver IC solution enables greater high-definition clarity for plasma screens while reducing the amount of required energy.
They also added concluding that-’First introduced in the 192-channel DDI, Samsung’s unique power-saving technology, an energy recovery circuit (ERC), is again implemented in the new 256-channel driver IC to recycle energy loss within the circuit. This new power-smart feature lowers the DDI power consumption of a conventional PDP TV by over 35 percent. Such a reduction in power eliminates the need for a separate power-saving component feature, enabling for a slimmer and lighter TV module.’
Such technologies which we thought to be nonexistent some years back are now certainly a part of our present
