Format converter IC for field sequential color display

This paper describes a field sequential color display controller (FSCDC) applied to format conversion of conventional video signals into field sequential format. With a special frame memory design, we attain a low cost system implement using conventional available DRAMs. High resolution and high contrast ratio color display system are thus acquired benefiting from FSCDC. With a built-in 100 Mhz DAC, FSCDC has been integrated using the standard 0.8 /spl mu/m CMOS technology and occupies an area of 30.4 mm/sup 2/.
