Texas Advanced Optoelectronic Solutions®, Inc. (TAOS) and
QuickLogic Corporation (NASDAQ: QUIK) announced today that QuickLogic
has verified and approved the TAOS
TSL25711FN digital ambient light sensor (ALS) for use
with QuickLogic's Visual Enhancement Engine (VEE)
and Display Power Optimizer (DPO)
Proven System Blocks (PSBs). When used in conjunction with the
TSL25711FN, the VEE and DPO provide mobile device users with an
exceptional viewing experience in all ambient lighting conditions, while
simultaneously extending battery life.
QuickLogic's proprietary VEE and DPO PSBs enhance both the image
and video quality of mobile devices by optimizing the dynamic range,
contrast and color saturation on a pixel-by-pixel basis to provide a
natural viewing experience to the user under varying lighting
conditions. VEE is based on a model of human perception, resulting in a
displayed image that retains excellent detail, color and vitality to the
eye even under challenging viewing conditions. QuickLogic's DPO
technology dynamically adjusts display power or brightness to conserve
battery life.
TAOS, Inc. digital ambient light sensors are used to provide detailed
information on the ambient light conditions that users face as they
interact with their Smartphones, Mobile Internet Devices (MIDs),
Smartbooks, Netbooks, notebooks/laptops, digital cameras, camcorders,
portable MP3/DVD players, video games and HDTVs. The TSL25711FN is part
of the TAOS TSL2x71 product family which includes ambient light sensing,
proximity detection and integrated ambient light sensing/proximity
detection devices. The high sensitivity of the TAOS TSL25711FN enables
use behind dark glass or spectrally distorted materials for improved
display aesthetics and sleeker designs versus other solutions that
require transparent openings in order for light to reach the sensor.
Used in conjunction with QuickLogic's DPO PSB, the TAOS ambient light
sensor is a key component in reducing system power consumption.
?The combination of the TAOS digital ambient light sensing technology
with QuickLogic's VEE and DPO-enabled Customer Specific Standard
Products (CSSPs) provides a significantly improved viewing experience
along with a dramatically increased battery life for the mobile device
user,? said Paul Karazuba, QuickLogic's Senior Product Marketing Manager.
?TAOS is pleased to be part of the QuickLogic ecosystem by bringing our
respective ?green' display technologies together around the VEE and DPO
PSBs,? said Jerry Koontz, TAOS, Inc. Director of Marketing.
?Consumers will immediately appreciate the significant benefits that the
combined technologies from QuickLogic and TAOS bring to future mobile
devices.?
