SEOUL, South Korea and
SAN JOSE, Calif., April 16, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- MagnaChip
Semiconductor Corporation ("MagnaChip" or the "Company") (NYSE:
MX), a designer and manufacturer of analog and mixed-signal
semiconductor products, announced today that it has launched the
28-nanometer (nm) OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diodes) DDIC
(Display Driver IC) for smartphone displays.
The 28nm process is the most advanced process used for
manufacturing OLED DDICs today. MagnaChip's new 28nm OLED
DDIC achieves a form factor reduction that is 20 percent smaller
than that of the previous 40nm process and is suitable for
smartphones and other mobile devices, where small size and thinness
are critical factors. In addition, MagnaChip reduced the
logic voltage from 1.1V, which was required for the existing 40nm
products, to 1.0V, which reduces the current voltage consumption by
more than 20 percent and also extends battery life.
MagnaChip's latest 28nm OLED DDIC provides Best-In-Class
performance, power and feature with high
performance/price value.
With the addition of this new 28nm platform OLED DDIC, MagnaChip
now has developed a portfolio of nine advanced platform OLED
Display Driver ICs, including one 110nm rigid bezel-less, two 55nm
flexible bezel-less and five 40nm rigid bezel-less OLED DDICs.
MagnaChip's product roadmap includes plans to expand the
feature set of OLED DDICs to include Ultra-High-Definition (UHD)
capabilities.
The 28nm OLED display driver IC also is expected to improve the
call quality of smartphones by reducing EMI (Electromagnetic
Interference) levels by 20 percent, as compared to existing
products based on the 40nm format. The 28nm new OLED driver
IC supports various display types such as rigid, flexible,
foldable and VR, AR applications. It also maximizes design
flexibility for latest full-screen displays, such as bezel-less,
hole type displays. This new display driver already has
won its first design-in at a leading smartphone manufacturer.
YJ Kim CEO of MagnaChip said: "By launching the 28nm OLED DDIC,
we have demonstrated again our world-class technology and expect it
will help mobile device manufacturers develop new generations of
smaller and more energy-efficient products with crisp
displays. Further, MagnaChip plans to extend its DDIC
portfolio from current OLED smartphones to the rapidly growing OLED
TV, OLED automotive and MicroLED TV applications, as well as
foldable smartphones."
