Innolux Selects Genesis' New gm5621 Controller Family for Multiple LCD Monitor Platforms.SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Genesis(R) Microchip Inc. (Nasdaq:GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) The European term for a global satellite-based radio navigation system. See Galileo. ), a world leader in the development of image processing technologies for flat-panel monitors, TVs and other consumer display products, today announced that Innolux Display Corporation, a Taiwanese display company of the Foxconn Group, has selected Genesis' gm5621 series for its new XGA (EXtended Graphics Array) A screen resolution of 1,024x768 pixels. The term stems from IBM's XGA display standard introduced in 1990, which extended VGA to 132-column text and interlaced 1,024x768x256 resolution. XGA-2 later added non-interlaced 1,024x768x64K. and SXGA (Super XGA) A screen resolution of 1280x1024 pixels. SXGA is commonly used on standard monitors, but provides a 1.25:1 aspect ratio, compared to the more common 1.33:1 (4:3) ratio. SXGA+ has a 1400x1050 resolution, which is an exact 1.33:1 ratio. See PC display modes. LCD monitor platforms. The new series offers industry-leading levels of integration in an LCD monitor controller and features a single chassis solution for all LCD monitor applications. The gm5621 LCD controller series integrates the microcontroller using a serial flash interface for pin count efficiency and includes a number of derivative controllers that enable customers to target all LCD monitor segments (analog or dual, XGA or SXGA) with a single PCB PCB: see polychlorinated biphenyl.

Its firmware is also compatible with Genesis' previous generation of gm5321 LCD monitor controllers, reducing customer design time and costs. The gm5621 product family also offers new Instant Auto(TM) technology, which provides fast and accurate image alignment for both static and moving images of the VGA (Video Graphics Array) The display standard for the PC. All PC display adapters support VGA, and Windows machines boot up in "VGA mode" before switching to higher resolutions. input signal and is competitively priced to respond to the high-volume segments of the mainstream LCD monitor controller market. "We selected Genesis' gm5621 family of LCD monitor controllers because its advanced image processing technologies and features enabled us to offer our customers LCD monitor platforms with the functionality and resolutions they require," said C.H. Liao, director of R&D for Innolux Display Corporation. "The single chassis design and features integrated into the controller series allowed us to do this quickly and cost-effectively." "We are delighted that Innolux, a leading display company, has designed Genesis' gm5621 family of controllers into their latest LCD monitor platforms," said Raphael Mehrbians, Genesis Microchip's senior vice president of Product Marketing. "This design win is indicative of our ability to meet the volume, technology and cost requirements of high-volume LCD monitor manufacturers like Innolux." The gm5621 family offers Genesis' patented advanced image processing technologies, an industry-proved integrated ADC/PLL and Ultra-Reliable 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. compliant receiver for both XGA and SXGA display resolutions. In addition, it features an on-chip RSDS RSDS Reduced Swing Differential Signal RSDS Radar Signal Detecting Set RSDS Range Safety Display System RSDS Regional Supply Data System RSDS Remote Software Distribution System and LVDS (Low Voltage Differential Signaling) A transmission method for sending digital information. LVDS sends data over data high and data low lines rather than data and ground. transmitter, a multicolor proportional font OSD (1) (On-Screen Display) An on-screen control panel for adjusting monitors and TVs. The OSD is used for contrast, brightness, horizontal and vertical positioning and other monitor adjustments. engine and is available in a 128QFP package.
