Kirchheim/Teck, Germany (PRWEB) July 28, 2005 -- Dialog Semiconductor Plc
(NASDAQ: DLGS, FWB: DLG) has announced that the company’s display driver
technology has been chosen by QUALCOMM MEMS Technologies, Inc. (QMT) for its
iMoD™ displays. QMT, a wholly owned subsidiary of QUALCOMM Incorporated (Nasdaq:
QCOM) formed after the acquisition of Iridigm Display Corporation, is
responsible for developing leading display technology for mobile products using
advanced MEMS (micro-electromechanical-systems) technology.
QMT chose to
work with Dialog Semiconductor to take advantage of the company’s leading-edge
driver technology for mobile devices, as well as Dialog’s long history of
successful application specific IC (ASIC) development for leading wireless
communications companies worldwide. Dialog Semiconductor launched its color LCD
display drivers last year to address the need for high performance, fast
response LCD displays in mobile products. Since then the company has seen strong
growth in demand for these ICs as it commenced volume shipments to leading
mobile handset manufacturers.
Roland Pudelko, CEO and president of
Dialog Semiconductor, said, “QMT’s decision to use our ICs underlines Dialog
Semiconductor’s emerging position as a leader in display driver technology. The
combination of the power saving features of their iMoD displays and the
efficient power management techniques implemented in our display drivers
presents a powerful combined solution for mobile devices which need to offer
increased battery life and provide high performance graphics capabilities to
consumers.”
Using advanced MEMS (micro-electro-mechanical-systems)
technology, QUALCOMM MEMS Technologies, Inc. (QMT) products will reflect
QUALCOMM’s overall strategy of rapidly increasing the capability of mobile
devices while driving down cost, size and power consumption. QMT is currently
developing iMoD – a next generation display technology for the full range of
mobile products. This industry-transforming display technology, combines thin
film optics with MEMS structures to create an always-on display viewable in
virtually any environment, that will create new value chains. Product release
dates have not been announced.
