We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Display driver",
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 Driver expands appeal of passive matrix OLEDs from
Dialog Semiconductor, which we summarised at the time by saying "The use of lower power and lower cost passive matrix OLEDs can be extended to higher resolution main displays on mobile devices".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Backlight power savings are all in the maths from
MagnaChip Semiconductor: "Algorithm can reduce the luminance of LCD backlights by up to 50% through the analysis of the image data in LCD driver chips and the related adjustment of power consumption rates in the LED drivers".
In November 2007, we covered the news from Altera Europe
concerning its Cyclone III FPGAs
- take a look at FPGA collaboration cuts costs and boosts power
which says: "The LonWorks communications protocol has been ported to Altera's Nios II embedded processor, which is implemented in a Cyclone FPGA".
Take a look also at the news release from Review Display Systems, Display driver covers full range of sizes,
as well as Dialog signs for engineering development from KPIT Cummins Infosystems,
and Convertor rises to OLED power challenges from ON Semiconductor.
