We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "LCD panels",
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 White LED driver cuts down on flicker from
Advanced Analogic Technologies, which we summarised at the time by saying "By driving up to 10 white LEDs in a serial string, the AAT1239-1 simplifies the use of larger LCD panels in a wide array of battery-powered portable devices".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Programmable devices answer display challenge from
QuickLogic: "Simultaneous display solution enables developers to implement a wide range of exciting handheld capabilities".
In December 2007, we covered the news from RAiO Technology
concerning its RA8816
- take a look at LCD controller maps out many languages
which says: "The RA8816 is a dot-matrix LCD driver that supports both character and graphics modes".
Take a look also at the news release from austriamicrosystems, LED driver meets LCD panel-makers' needs,
as well as FPGAs take control of LCD panels from Actel Europe,
and Package puts graphics on MCU-based systems from Microchip Technology.
