Using Cyclone III FPGas for Clearer LCD HDTV Implementation

Overview

Liquid Crystal Displays (LCDs), originally designed for steady computer data text and graphics, now display fast-moving video content over much larger display panels. This capability requires special image processing algorithms that can be implemented with FPGAs. The Cyclone III family of FPGAs offers LCD designers the density and feature set to reconfigure these algorithms based on panel size within a standard hardware platform, which can help reduce manufacturing cost and speed time to market. In addition, designers can use the Cyclone III FPGA's flexibility for dynamic image processing to take LCDs even further into leading-edge commercial TV and display applications.
