spotted that Rambus has acquired $2.25 million worth of display and backlighting related patents.
These latest patents bought by Rambus come from Uni-Pixel and relate to dynamic backlighting, field sequential color displays, and Time Multiplexed Optical Shutter (TMOS) display technology, the latter being especially interesting as it enables the manufacturing of higher-performance LCD panels with lower material costs.
"This acquisition recognizes the significant contributions Uni-Pixel's innovative technology can make to our solutions for LCD displays for HDTVs, mobile devices and PCs," said Jeff Parker, senior vice president of the Lighting and Display Technology group at Rambus. "In combination with our design expertise and patented innovations, such as MicroLens optical technology, our goal is to greatly advance the performance and cost-effectiveness of displays incorporating dynamic backlighting, field sequential color, and TMOS technology."
