MagnaChip Launches Mass Production of a Series of LCD Drivers for Mobile Phones

MagnaChip Semiconductor Ltd., announced the mass production of a series of its high resolution LCD driver chips for handset and mobile phone applications.

MagnaChip's QCIF+ LCD driver chips (product name: MC2TA7402) were developed and completed early this year. The MC2TA7402 product is used for mobile phones, applies 0.18um/0.15um process technology and high voltage processes to reduce chip size by at least 40% vs. MagaChip's existing products. The MC2TA7402 product also supports system and video interface as well as low voltage architecture.

The MC2TA7501 product offers QVGA resolution and is a third generation one-chip solution with an estimated 30% reduction in size compared to the company's existing products. The driver chip solution comes with an EEPROM (MTP) loaded, supporting both Vertical Alignment and in-plain-switching (IPS) panels, and two technologies supporting a wide viewing angle. The solution is cost competitive as it is manufactured in the company's fab.
