Samsung selects NXP to power 240Hz LCD HD Panels

NXP Semiconductors today announced that Samsung Electronics has selected the NXP PNX5120 video co-processor for its 240Hz LCD panels to empower TV OEMs’ 240Hz Full HDTV. These panels, currently in mass production by Samsung Electronics, take advantage of NXP’s Motion Accurate Picture Processing (MAPP2) technology and full motion compensated up-conversion to deliver high-definition action scenes that are smoother and more realistic than ever before. The 240Hz refresh rate is twice the speed of current 120Hz TV sets and quadruple that of standard HDTVs.

“Samsung Electronics has been the leader in 240Hz panel manufacturing. 240Hz LCD panels showcase the enhanced HD viewing experience made possible by the PNX5120 and NXP MAPP2 technology,” said Lou Schreurs, business line TV general manager, NXP Semiconductors. “From the fastest moving action films to the most hotly contested football tournaments, the PNX5120 video post-processor helps to totally immerse the viewer and bring moving images to life.”

The NXP PNX5120 video post-processor combines three-frame HD Movie Judder Cancellation (MJC), motion sharpness and vivid color management to successfully reduce the visible halo and blur in fast-moving scenes, and deliver an enhanced viewing experience for sports and action films. The Automatic Picture Control (APC) feature dynamically adjusts the processing parameters used to obtain optimal improvements on every output frame.
