SILICONCORE UNVEILS THREE NEW KEY TECHNOLOGIES

SiliconCore Technology (SCT), a leading innovator in LED displays, is proud to announce three new technologies that enhance the company’s pioneering Common Cathode architecture.

The first technology is a new SCL8080 LED driver chip, which culminates a 2.5 year development cycle. This new generation driver now powers 640 pixels per chip, a benchmark that represents a doubling in the scan rate, a four-fold increase in processing speed and a five-fold increase in pixel processing per driver.

The second key enhancement is a new Precision Current Pump (PCP). Each LED printed circuit board (PCB) can inherently possess small variations in impedance for each LED pixel, so this technology compensates for the variations — ensuring complete integrity in every light pulse from each pixel. The result is a dramatic improvement in low-brightness performance.

The final new technology is the Spread Spectrum Driver (SSD). Electro-magnetic interference (EMI) is a critical issue with all contemporary electronics so SSD technology evenly distributes the LED display’s pixel clock speed over a several MHz range, thus eliminating energy spikes and reducing peak EMI by 20db.

Eric Li, SiliconCore’s CEO and President explains:

“To the customer, these new technologies represent a significant LED driver cost reduction per pixel and a dramatic increase in performance. We are rolling out these new Common Cathode architecture enhancements with our Lavender P1.2 cabinet first and shortly thereafter we will incorporate these in our Orchid HD P1.9, our Magnolia P1.5, and our Peony P2.6 cabinets. These exciting developments will assist us in further increasing the resolution of future displays.”

Based in Silicon Valley, California, SiliconCore’s semiconductor design team has now successfully implemented precise analog circuitry in a sub-micron mainstream digital foundry process, and multiple patents have been issued to SCT for this new generation LED driver. The intellectual property (IP) accumulated over this process establishes a critical technology cornerstone for future generation LED displays and opens up many new frontiers of digital visualization. The broadened IP portfolio further enhances SiliconCore’s role as a technology leader in the worldwide LED display marketplace.
