We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Digital televisions",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Transmitters and bridge enable new HD link from
Silicon Image, which we summarised at the time by saying "The Mobile High-Definition Link (MHL) enables consumers to connect mobile devices directly to digital televisions".
The day before,
we featured the news release Multimedia receivers provide vibrant colours from
Silicon Image: "The SiI9223 supports Silicon Image's MHL, enabling mobile devices such as digital cameras and camera phones to connect to and display high-definition content on digital televisions".
In January 2008, we covered the news from Silicon Image
concerning its PinnaClear SiI9155
- take a look at Input processor eases HDTV redesigns
which says: "The PinnaClear SiI9155 divides the primary DTV electronics into two highly integrated parts: the input processor and the display processor".
Take a look also at the news release from Ocean Blue, TV software suite to run on Toshiba's Donau SoC,
as well as ATE system puts display drivers in the picture from Advantest (Europe),
and DSP devices are optimised for industrial control from Texas Instruments (April 2006-).
