California Micro Devices Presents Display Electronic Solutions at IDMC/3DSA/Asia Display ‘09 in Taipei

TAIPEI, Taiwan - MDDI, Bridge and MIPI(R) High Speed Serial Display Controllers to be Highlighted

California Micro Devices (Nasdaq: CAMD) will be showcasing its display controller solutions based on the Mobile Digital Display Interface (MDDI) and Mobile Industry Processor Interface (MIPI(R)) high speed serial interface display standards for mobile handset and MID (Mobile Internet Device) applications at the International Display Manufacturing Conference/3D Systems and Applications/Asia Display 2009 (IDMC/3DSA/Asia Display ‘09) from April 28 through 30. Allen Tung, CMD’s display controller applications manager, will deliver two presentations on April 29 and 30.

MDDI Display Controller for High Speed Serial Interfaces

CMD will be presenting a portfolio of serial interface display controllers designed for the MIPI(R) and MDDI display interface standards. The CM5100 features a fully compliant, MDDI based serial client, an integrated display controller with embedded memory that supports primary thin film transistor (TFT) liquid crystal displays (LCDs) with resolutions up to QVGA (320×240) and secondary displays.

CM5160 Bridge Display Controller

This innovative display controller can operate in conjunction with both the Mobile Display Digital Interface (MDDI) and the Mobile Industry Processor Interface (MIPI(R)) standards for high speed serial display interfaces intended for advanced mobile handsets. Developed in collaboration with major handset and device manufacturers, the CM5160 will permit handsets that utilize CPUs and application processors with on-chip MDDI compatible hosts to interface to liquid crystal display (LCD) modules incorporating either MDDI or MIPI(TM) based clients. The CM5160 can also be utilized as an MDDI display client supporting LCD modules with resolutions up to WQVGA 24 bit per pixel.

MIPI Applications

CMD will be featuring a hardware platform implementation of its new MIPI(R) based client architecture. This innovative new serial interface display controller architecture utilizes a RAM-less MIPI(R) Type 4 video mode interface and can support MIPI(R) display module applications up to WXGA. CMD’s upcoming display controllers will be used in advanced mobile handsets and in next generation Intel-based MIDs.
