INTERSIL SHIPS 75 MILLIONTH LCD REFERENCE BUFFER IC.Intersil Corporation (Nasdaq:ISIL ISIL International Society for Individual Liberty ISIL Interim Support Items List ISIL Intelligence Systems Integration Laboratory (Ft. Huachuca, Arizona; US Army facility for integrating intelligence systems) ), Milpitas, Calif., a world leader in the design and manufacture of high performance analog and wireless networking See wireless network. solutions, has shipped its 75 millionth Liquid Crystal Display liquid crystal display (LCD) Optoelectronic device used in displays for watches, calculators, notebook computers, and other electronic devices. Current passed through specific portions of the liquid crystal solution causes the crystals to align, blocking the passage of light. (LCD) reference buffer integrated circuit integrated circuit (IC), electronic circuit built on a semiconductor substrate, usually one of single-crystal silicon. The circuit, often called a chip, is packaged in a hermetically sealed case or a nonhermetic plastic capsule, with leads extending from it for (IC). Intersil is the world's leading supplier of reference buffer ICs used to enhance color performance of thin film transistor (TFT (Thin Film Transistor) The term typically refers to active matrix screens on laptop computers. Active matrix LCD provides a sharper screen display and broader viewing angle than does passive matrix. See LCD and thin film.

"We're very proud of surpassing this shipment milestone and Intersil will be adding even more products to our flat panel portfolio in the coming months," said Simon Prutton, Intersil's director of marketing for the Elantec(R) Product Group. "Intersil offers the most highly integrated products for the flat panel display A thin display screen for computer and TV usage. The first flat panels appeared on laptop computers in the mid-1980s, and the LCD technology became the standard. Stand-alone LCD screens became available for desktop computers in the mid-1990s and exceeded sales of CRTs for the first time market, with more products integrating multi-channel gamma and VCOM VCOM Virginia College of Osteopathic Medicine VCOM Virginia Coalition of Motorcyclists VCOM Volvo Communication (Message Oriented Middleware product) amplification than any other company. We also recently released the industry's first programmable reference generators, enhancing the functionality of next generation LCD TV and monitors. Add to that our complementary DC:DC converters, board-level reference designs and outstanding customer support, and it's easy to see why Intersil is a leader in this growing market." Intersil continues to benefit from a market migration from traditional CRT-based TVs and monitors to LCD displays due to the high precision, color accuracy and high efficiency of its LCD reference buffers. Intersil's video [Image]and flat panel display offering is targeted at 14-inch and greater TFT/LCD displays, as well as small LCD displays used in PDAs, cell phones, smart phones, digital cameras, electronic games and other portable electronics. Intersil's portfolio includes gamma buffer amplifiers, integrated common voltage (VCOM) amplifiers, gamma reference generators, white LED drivers and multi-channel DC:DC regulators.
