On April 3, the 2023 International Display Technology Conference (ICDT 2023) ended in Nanjing. The unprecedented scale of this grand event brought together well-known entrepreneurs and academics in the global display field to carry out in-depth exchanges on information display technology and industrial development.

 

Chipone brought a number of new display products to the conference, among which 4 products such as a "high-resolution LED display chip control solution" won the gold, silver, and bronze awards of CDIA's "Best Innovative Display Module of the Year" award.

What is SID?

 

Society for Information Display (SID) is a global professional academic organization composed of top scientists, engineers, enterprise research and development and senior managers in the display industry, and is the most leading, authoritative, and only professional academic and technical organization in the display industry.

 

International Conference on Display Technology (ICDT) is the only independent brand international display technology conference held by SID outside the United States, which has been successfully held for six sessions, attracting more than 40 domestic and foreign academicians, more than 50 national experts, national outstanding youth and Changjiang scholars and more than 1,000 elites from universities and enterprises around the world. This year, the number of participants in the exhibition reached more than 1,500.

 

Chipone display chip products have won the ICDT Gold Award for many consecutive years, which fully reflects the technical strength and innovation ability of Chipone.

Keynote from LI ZHUO

Li Zhuo, CTO of Chipone, was invited to attend the Future Technology Strategy Summit of the Display Industry and delivered a keynote speech.

 

Li Zhuo first predicted the DDIC market demand and development trend, he believes that DDIC market demand is expected to recover slowly in 2023, Foundry capacity supply will also be eased, and prices are currently stable.

 

Li Zhuo said that Chipone has achieved mass production results in the field of OLED display chips. And has laid out the field of automotive display chips in advance, and will concentrate on the second half of this year.

 

As a highly influential event in the display industry, ICDT also provides a centralized display platform for exhibitors' innovative technology products.

 

At the exhibition, Chipone brought the company's cutting-edge technology products and concentrated on presenting the industry-leading display chip innovation results. The delicate and vivid display of visual effects attracted the guests to stop and watch.

Innovation:

 

Gold Award: High-resolution LED display chip control scheme

The scheme realizes video processing and driving constant current through the combination of two chips, simplifying the difficulty of LED control design and effectively reducing client costs. Support 60Hz full 4K resolution display, each color output is 10 bits, support up/down scaling, with dynamic color gamut positioning function, bringing a better product experience.

 

Silver Award: OLED Smart Wearable Touch IC (ICNT8918)

The OLED smart wearable touch IC independently developed by Chipone adopts wafer-level (WLCSP) packaging and is smaller. During the highly integrated peripheral period, the cost is lower, and the 8TX*8RX design is adopted, the channel adaptation is more flexible, and the standby power consumption is only 40uW, and the power consumption is lower. It is also significantly waterproof. It provides more choices for the localization of terminal product chips.

 

Silver Award: "Display Enhancement Module Based on AI-PQ HD Quality Processing SOC Chip"

 

Vincent AI-PQ multimedia processing chip uses deep learning methods to perform real-time frame-by-frame pixel-level fine calculation of ultra-high-definition video images. The chip integrates a neural network engine and DSP core adapted to ultra-high-definition video processing, providing 25TOPS ultra-large computing power, and has rich interfaces such as HDMI, DP, MIPI, VByOne, PCIe, USB3.1, Ethernet, etc., which can be widely used in TV, commercial display, medical, machine vision, edge computing and other fields.

 

Bronze Award: Local Dimming backlight driver ICND8603

 

LED backlight chips for high dynamic range (HDR) LCD TVs, monitors, and notebook computers. This product is the first LED backlight driver chip in China that adopts row-column integration and provides 2-channel scanning and 48-channel output. It supports 14-bit PWM dimming, 5-bit, and 8-bit global gain control, provides 6-bit independent channel gain control and 7-bit analog DC dimming, and adopts a unique low-gray level dimming algorithm to solve the industry pain point of very low grayscale screen flash.

 

In the future, Chipone will continue to deepen the professional field of display chips, lead the innovation of display chip technology, take traditional advantageous display technology as the entry point, adapt to a variety of application scenarios, rely on independent deep learning engines, carry out business expansion in high computing power application scenarios, and use a steady stream of innovative achievements to deliver satisfactory answers for industry development and localization in the high-end display field.
