White color is achieved by transmitting fluorescent backlight through an RGB filter. In this process, the luminance of the source light is reduced to 33 percent. Since Samsung’s new 4-color TFT-LCD has an additional white subpixel, the luminance of a backlight is preserved as it is transmitted through a clear white subpixel instead of a colored filter.

A 4-color TFT-LCD increases luminance by 30-70 percent while consuming the same power as a conventional RGB TFT-LCD. At an equivalent luminance level, a 4-color TFT-LCD consumes about 50 percent less power than a conventional RGB LCD.

In the past, researchers were unable to introduce a fourth subpixel to an LCD without having to decrease luminance; increase manufacturing costs and distort color. Samsung resolves these issues by using novel pixel arrays and proprietary color processing algorithms.

Sub-pixel rendering technology was adopted to generate enhanced resolution. The horizontal sub-pixel font rendering technology fine-tunes the vertical aspect of the pixels, optimizing smoother vertical strokes for font characters.

DDR2 SDRAM

Advanced Memory for Tomorrow's Platforms

Advanced Features

Samsung's DDR2 DIMMs are fully JEDEC compliant. The DIMMs adhere to JEDEC's DDR2 specifications by adding core functions that include: off-chip-driver calibration(OCD) to maintain optimal driver strength; on-die termination(ODT) to ensure optimal signal intergrity; and posted CAS, a command control method to enhance bus efficiency. Samsung's DDR2 DIMMs feature a 4-bit pre-fetch scheme that delivers twice the external bandwidth of DDR memory for the same internal frequency. A 1.8-V operating feature lowers power consumption, board temperature and extends battery life in mobile applications.
