GENESIS MICROCHIP UNVEILS NEW SINGLE-CHIP LCD CONTROLLER FOR DUAL-INTERFACE MONITORS.Genesis Microchip Genesis Microchip Inc. is a leading edge world wide supplier of integrated circuits (ICs) for video processors in flat panel LCD TVs and Monitors. Founded in 1987 by Paul Russo [9] in Markham, Ontario, Canada and it became a public company in 1998 [10] and now (Nasdaq: GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) The European term for a global satellite-based radio navigation system. See Galileo. ) introduced the gm5020 LCD monitor A flat panel display that uses liquid crystals. Although laptops have used LCDs as their flat panel technology almost exclusively, LCD is also the most popular for flat panel desktop monitors. Toward the end of 2003, sales of LCD displays for desktops overtook CRTs for the first time. controller, the most highly integrated chip the company has ever produced. Targeted on the dual-interface LCD monitor market, the gm5020 image processor offers numerous integration features to provide a flexible, cost-effective solution for the growing market of LCD monitors with both analog and digital interfaces. Dual-interface monitors ensure monitor-to-PC compatibility by offering connection to legacy VGA-style graphics cards as well as cards supporting the emerging DVI (1) (Digital Video Interactive) An earlier compression technique that provided up to 72 minutes of full-screen video on a CD-ROM. Acquired by Intel in 1988 from RCA's Sarnoff Research labs, Princeton, NJ, DVI never caught on. standard. "Dual interface monitors are growing extremely rapidly from about 900,000 units or 13 percent of the worldwide LCD monitor market in 2000 to more than five million units next year," says David Mentley, Senior Vice President of market-research firm Stanford Resources. "Our most recent report, 'Flat Panel Monitor Market Trends,' predicts the dual interface solution will peak in 2003 at 63 percent of the market, after which the analog interface will begin fading away Noun 1. fading away - gradually diminishing in brightness or loudness or strength dwindling, dwindling away - a becoming gradually less; "there is no greater sadness that the dwindling away of a family" and the digital-only interface will prevail." |
