— Samsung has developed a high‐resolution full‐HD (1920 × 1080) 120‐Hz LCD‐TV panel using a novel pixel structure and a motion‐compensated frame‐interpolation (McFi) single‐chip solution. Our latest work includes launch of a 70‐in. full‐HD panel, the world's largest LCD TV in mass production, with a 120‐Hz frame rate. A serious problem involving the charging time margin has been completely overcome through the use of a new alternative 1G‐2D pixel structure and a new driving scheme. Compared with conventional dot‐inversion driving, our new dot‐inversion method, which is a spatial averaging technique, can save power because the column drivers are operated using vertical inversion driving. In addition, McFi, which merges individual ME/MC and timing‐controller (TCON) ICs and memories, has been developed and applied in a mass‐production product for the first time ever. The McFi solution provides 120‐Hz driving with the lowest possible system cost. Motion‐picture response time (MPRT) has been reduced from 1 5 to 8 msec. Moreover, for the case of 24‐Hz film source mode, motion judder has been completely eliminated. As a result, a lineup consisting of 40‐, 46‐, 52‐, 70‐, and 82‐in. LCD‐TV panels with high quality and manufacturability has been made possible.
