SIM2 and Dolby in New LCD Display Technology

  • PDF

SIM2 Multimedia and Dolby Labs will jointly develop new prototype of HDR (high dynamic range)-enabled LCD flat screens using Dolby's new LED local dimming technology. 

The new prototype displays will feature Dolby's dynamic range imaging technologies, Dolby Contrast and Dolby Vision, incorporated in SIM2's unique industrial concept.

Dolby Contrast leverages LEDs with local dimming to provide dramatically enhanced contrast. Dolby Vision combines high brightness with enhanced contrast to deliver picture quality that virtually matches real-world visual perception of depth, detail, and color. The technology is expected to preserve detail despite dark areas, a common shortcoming of many display technologies.

SIM2 will also offer manufacturing reference designs to other display manufacturers. The company will start by developing a 46 prototype panel to bring to the market in Q3 2008.
