Taiwan-based small- to medium-size panel maker TPO Displays has announced its new development based on its LTPS-based SRP-MIP technology, enabling a display with high transmittance at low power consumption for mobile devices, and the company estimates to start volume shipments in the first quarter of 2010.

TPO said it has successfully applied the MIP technology to handset display with panel sized at a 3.47-inch in 640x360 resolution.

The key feature of TPO's SRP-MIP technology is low power consumption, and its 3.47-inch nHD display only requires 1mW power in MIP reflective mode at a full screen display.

By simplifying the pixel memory circuit, TPO is able to increase the resolution level of its SRP-MIP display up to 211ppi at 1mW power consumption, and it requires no extra dimension in display, which will give more rooms for device designers to enhance the device's overall performances and values.

With the implementation of SRP-MIP technology, TPO can provide customers with a LTPS display solution featured in SRP-MIP technology with low power consumption and up to 211 ppi in resolution. This solution could be adopted in various applications, such as handset, smartphone, automotive, e-book, hand-held GPS displays.
