Display technology enables widescreen expansion
Chunghwa Picture Tubes is using PenTile RGBW technology from Clairvoyante to build widescreen high-resolution display panels for next-generation mobile devices.
The greater mobility and enhanced application sets initiated by the 3G network is expanding consumer expectations for using mobile devices outdoors, challenging displays to meet significantly higher performance standards for on-screen visibility.
In addition to PenTile RGBW panels with wide-viewing angles that minimise reflection and glare, Clairvoyante will demonstrate its first-ever transflective PenTile RGBW display, a small-diagonal VGA panel that features reduced power consumption and nearly twice the outdoor viewability relative to other transflective displays currently on the market.
Applications such as mobile TV, video, games and mapping in 3G handsets and other mobile devices present considerable design challenges in terms of balancing power and performance.

Clairvoyante will exhibit proven solutions for overcoming these challenges based on PenTile RGBW technology, demonstrating its ability to extend battery life and provide enough brightness and resolution to properly display multimedia content.
PenTile RGBW can benefit a variety of display technologies including amorphous silicon (a-Si) and low-temperature polysilicon (LTPS) in order to accomplish application-driven objectives, such as doubling brightness or halving power consumption, or increasing visual resolution.
The various sizes and formats of panel prototypes being exhibited demonstrates how PenTile RGBW technology can help panel manufacturers meet the performance demands of next-generation mobile devices.
In addition to the new transflective PenTile RGBW display debuting at FPDI, Clairvoyante will also exhibit a collection of mobile displays including: various sizes of widescreen, high-resolution panels from multiple manufacturers that optimally display widescreen content without having to scroll horizontally, and enable low-power opportunities for applications such as web browsers, TV and video, gaming and e-mail; two new high-resolution 4.0 and 7.0in widescreen panels ideal for ultra-mobile portable computer (UMPC) displays; the first fully integrated PenTile RGBW driver IC from Tomato LSI, which will be driving a video display on 2.4in PenTile RGBW VGA LTPS panels; and various sizes of PenTile RGBW qVGA and VGA a-Si panels with reduced power or increased brightness for displaying text, still, and video images.
Offering significant improvement over conventional RGB stripe LCDs, Clairvoyante's patent-pending design combines advanced subpixel rendering technology with a RGB plus white subpixel structure to reduce power consumption, improve white brightness, and increase contrast.
PenTile RGBW technology offers display and IC driver manufacturers a way to enhance their current technologies and get to higher resolutions faster and more cost-effectively.
