The LDS342 is a landscape QVGA LTPS LCD driver targeted at mobile consumer applications. It has integrated full frame memory to support up to 16M colors thereby reducing power consumption dramatically over RAMless designs. The device also supports 128 gray levels, 6:1 Mux, 4 Gamma sets, and external EEPROM, the company said.

"The LDS342 is a perfect single chip LCD driver for LTPS landscape QVGA applications," said Keeho Kim, General Manager of the Display Driver Business at Leadis. "We are also quite pleased to be working with Sharp and Nokia to introduce a higher quality display."
