Samsung 8K display driver IC with data speeds of up to 4Gbps announced
Samsung Electronics has announced an 8K display driver IC (DDI) that helps deliver true-to-life 8K resolution with intra-panel data transfer speed at up to 4-gigabit-per-second (Gbps). It adopts the company's Unified Standard Interface for TV (USI-T) 2.0. The boost in the DDI’s data transfer capability enhances the efficiency of a display’s system performance and reduces the need for additional components. The company says that it also allows more streamlined product designs for slim bezel-less TVs with display sizes 65-inches and above. The 8K DDI’s advanced performance at 4Gbps intra-panel interface speed minimizes the added clutter around the display panel that offers more freedom in premium 8K TV designs. The updated interface also supports a smart equalizer (EQ) feature that utilizes two-way channels between the timing controller (TCON) and individual DDIs. The smart EQ can program all DDIs in a panel simultaneously, reducing the possibility of bit errors and resources that are required for panel production. The Samsung's 8K DDI samples as well as licensing for the USI-T 2.0 intra-panel interface are currently available. Ben K. Hur, senior vice president of System LSI marketing at Samsung Electronics said: To deliver true 8K resolution, it is essential for today’s DDIs to support a high-speed 4Gbps intra-panel interface. ...
