MagnaChip Semiconductor Launches Its PMOLED QCIF+ Two Chip Solution

SEOUL, South Korea, Nov. 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- MagnaChip Semiconductor today announced the launch of its PMOLED QCIF+ two-chip solution, the HM16EPS7201 chip and the HM16EPC7101 chip. These chips are designed for the main display on mobile devices and specifically the MP3 display market. They are the first chips to support QCIF+ resolution.

These chips offer one of the highest resolutions available in PMOLED technology. The HM16EPS7201 chip can support 220RGB (column line), while the HM16EPC7101 chip supports 176 (Row line). Notable MP3, mobile and panel companies are currently evaluating these unique product offerings.

Davis Mok, Vice President of Marketing in the Display Solutions Division, commented, "Passive-matrix OLEDs are particularly well suited for small-area display applications that are found in today's mobile devices, including MP3 players. QCIF+ display modules are capable of displaying full-motion video and high-resolution images on standard mobile device displays. As video clips and TV shows become a feature offered in standard cell phones and MP3 players, QCIF+ resolution will increasingly become a necessity. We are currently working on this project with one of our biggest customers and are confident that it will be welcomed by the larger market based on our current findings."

These products are scheduled to go into mass production in the first half of 2006. The HM16EPS7201 chip is produced at MagnaChip's F5 located in Cheongju and the HM16EPC7101 at MagnaChip's F3 in Gumi.
