VIVID SEMICONDUCTOR USES L-EDIT AND STANDARD CMOS PROCESSES TO BUILD HIGH-VOLTAGE LCD DRIVERS
Founded in 1993, Vivid Semiconductor Inc. is a privately held company with a patented technique for fabricating high-voltage semiconductor devices using standard low-voltage digital CMOS processes. The technique allows operating voltages at more than double the range of the underlying process. It also results in lower cost and lower power dissipation.
Vivid pioneered the use of the pixel inversion drive method used in most LCD displays today and developed a widely adopted method to minimize power consumption through charge conservation. Vivid Semiconductor has driver products optimized for monitor applications as well as low-power notebook TFT-LCD's.
"We have been L-Edit power users for years now," says Jim Imholte, Principal Mask Designer. "All of my designers like the way they can easily customize the look and feel of the interface to their liking—we get the look and feel we want at one-tenth the cost of other tools. Each new update gives us more reasons to continue with L-Edit as our primary layout tool."
