We’re not talking Pixel Qi -style savings or anything, but nevertheless, IDT’s not asking you to ditch the normal LCD your retinas refuse to step far from. The company’s Panel Self Refresh technology just got an immense shot inside the arm here at IDF , with the introduction of the world’s first Embedded DisplayPort (eDP) 1.3-compliant Timing Controller with integrated PSR technology. numerous technobabble, sure, but here’s the lowdown: with these things within the mix, most users will see upwards of 45 minutes of battery gain, because the panels don’t require constant refreshing.
Granted, power savings are just seen with static images on-screen, and you may desire a PSR-enabled graphics processor to make the most. The excellent news, however, is that Intel appears to be into the belief of using these items to reinforce the whole battery lifetime of Chipzilla-based machines, so it will never be too long before it starts taking drugs in laptops and Ultrabooks. As to how the magic actually works? IDT’s PSR technology “identifies a static image and stores it local to the TCON in an integrated frame buffer; then, it seamlessly displays the picture from the local frame buffer allowing the eDP main link and a majority of the GPU functions to be powered-down, leading to significant power savings.” Look at the revealing video just after the break.
Integrated Device Technology, Inc. ( IDT ®) (NASDAQ:IDTI), the Analog and Digital Company™ delivering essential mixed-signal semiconductor solutions, today announced that it has developed and demonstrated the world’s first Embedded DisplayPort (eDP) 1.3-compliant Timing Controller (TCON) with integrated Panel Self Refresh (PSR) technology for significant system-level power savings and extended battery life in portable applications.
IDT’s new eDP timing controllers with PSR technology can save significant power when a static image is displayed at the screen of a system with a PSR-enabled graphics processor. Unlike traditional timing controllers that receive and process the display data continuously, IDT’s PSR technology identifies a static image and stores it local to the TCON in an integrated frame buffer. It then seamlessly displays the picture from the local frame buffer allowing the eDP main link and a majority of the GPU functions to be powered-down, leading to significant power savings.
“IDT continues to illustrate its leadership in delivering next generation mixed-signal technology,” said Ji Park, vp and general manager of the Video and Display Operation at IDT. “Today’s mobile devices require more processing power and functionality than ever before, but consumers expect longer battery life whilst. Our newest PSR-ready eDP timing controller helps our customers meet these requirements, making IDT’s solution the final word high-performance, low-power interface to be used in next generation notebooks, Ultrabooks, and tablets.”
IDT’s latest solution incorporates novel design techniques and strategic process selection for the best operation and seamless transition between modes. It’s fully compliant with the VESA eDP v1.3 standard. eDP solutions offer the bottom system cost and longest battery life versus the LVDS solutions currently getting used in portable embedded display applications. The big reduction in power consumption is fundamental to accelerating the adoption of eDP in portable displays and the hot IDT solution extends this power advantage.
