NEC-MITSUBISHI SELECTS GENESIS CHIP FOR TWO MONITORS.

Genesis Microchip (Nasdaq:GNSS), San Jose, Calif., a leader in the advancement of display technologies, has announced that NEC-Mitsubishi Electric Visual Systems (NMVS) is utilizing the Genesis gm5020 LCD monitor controller chip in two branded monitors.

The 18.1-inch NEC MultiSync LCD1850E and Mitsubishi RDT184S monitors features wide-angle viewing technology, wall/arm mounting capability and superb color enhancement technology, which supports the sRGB color reproduction standard.

NMVS selected the Genesis gm5020 LCD monitor controller chip to convert lesser input resolutions to SXGA and to take advantage of the chip's integrated analog-to-digital converter (ADC), which provides superior image quality.

"We've relied on Genesis chips in the past, so it's not much of a surprise that we're using them again in this prestigious monitor," said Mr. Hirotoshi Matsuda, NMVS's senior vice president. "The gm5020 provides many integrated functions, so the chip gives us tremendous value and helps to reduce our component costs -- everybody wins!"

Market research firm DisplaySearch reports NEC-Mitsubishi is the world's top supplier of LCD monitors, based on revenues in the third quarter of 2001.

The highly integrated gm5020 image processor offers numerous integration features -- including its popular ADC, a graphical onscreen display, plus an "Ultra-Reliable DVI" receiver -- to provide a flexible, cost-effective solution for LCD monitors with analog, digital or dual (both analog and digital) interfaces.

The company began North American operations on July 1, 2000 (as NEC-Mitsubishi Electronics Display of America) and combines the desktop display monitor divisions of NEC Technologies and Cypress, California-based Mitsubishi Electronics America, Inc.
