Seamlessly integrating into the display path of handheld and portable electronics without modification to existing architectures, the company's evaluation module allows users to test-drive its Visual Enhancement Engine (VEE) technology in their own form factor with their own displays. According to the company, VEE technology creates a TV-quality viewing experience in mobile systems by adaptively enhancing image/video data in real time. Unlike typical enhancements, i.e., gamma correction and content adaptive backlight control, VEE's enhancements are context sensitive and adapt pixel by pixel. The technology adapts to changes in ambient light, providing an alternative to boosting the backlight intensity level for daylight viewing. The evaluation module integrates an ambient-light sensor to allow testing of the technology's ambient lighting response and adaptive control of the VEE image-processing algorithm. It also includes a flash ROM to hold parameters that configure the CSSP for the specific LCD. Additionally, a switching regulator ensures that the module can run off the mobile device's battery regardless of operating voltage. QUICKLOGIC CORP., Sunnyvale, CA. (408) 990-4000.
