We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "LCD 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 Backlight power savings are all in the maths from
MagnaChip Semiconductor, which we summarised at the time by saying "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".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release LCD controller maps out many languages from
RAiO Technology: "The RA8816 is a dot-matrix LCD driver that supports both character and graphics modes".
In December 2007, we covered the news from Oki Electric
concerning its Power management LSIs
- take a look at Power management devices cut consumption
which says: "LDO provides power consumption of 50-100nA in standby mode and 3-12uA in no-load mode - an 80-90% reduction in power consumption compared with the industry standard".
Take a look also at the news release from Cypress Semiconductor, Tool simplifies embedded design,
as well as ATE system puts display drivers in the picture from Advantest (Europe),
and Microcontrollers cut costs and power for metering from Texas Instruments (April 2006-).
