Although the rollout of
LED-backlit LCDs is still in the
early stages, Microsemi is banking on its latest
breakthrough to provide "system-level solutions that accelerate the design of advanced LED-based backlighting for large screen LCD televisions." Dubbed DAZL! (Digital Advanced Zone Lighting), the chipsets reportedly produce unprecedented "uniformity of color, brightness, contrast, blur-free performance, and energy savings," and moreover, they reduce the number of components needed to build
LED backlights. Currently, the firm is already testing the waters by sampling flat-panel manufacturers who supposedly plan on implementing its technology in their next-generation sets, so we'll just hold tight 'til 2008 and see exactly how dazzled we really are.
