GEO Semiconductor, a provider of IC solutions for LED-backlit LCD displays, announced the availability of the eWARP platform demo board for maximum display resolutions of 2560 x1600 pixels.
The platform, code named Shasta, utilizes two sxW2 ICs to allow faultless warp for a diverse range of resolutions. It also enables designers to attain high level of corrections for displays having a maximum resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels.
The Shasta platform has the potential to perform all regular optical corrections such as barrel distortion, pin-cushion, and keystone correction, along with image rotation. The platform allows sophisticated features including brightness and color uniformity correction for LCD displays, projectors, and image sensors; stitching images for two camera sensors to develop high-resolution cameras; edge-blending of HD video streams; and de-warping of fish-eye lenses.
GEO’s VP of Marketing, Business Development and Engineering, Madhu Rayabhari stated that the Shasta platform offers designers the capability to perform image enhancements, improvements, and corrections on displays having WQXGA resolutions. The platform attains perfect alignment on sophisticated 3D displays using passive glasses and projectors, and at the same time improving viewer comfort at low cost points when compared to the displays by using active shutter glasses.
