Kirchheim/Teck, Germany, 18th May 2009 - Dialog Semiconductor plc (FWB:
DLG) announced today that the new Samsung Smartphone - SCH-u750 - will use
Dialog's DA8531 integrated circuit in a display based keypad configuration.
Dialog has worked closely with Samsung to optimise the operation of the
keypad display to ensure it does not consume any power when images are
static - saving energy and extending the battery life of the phone.
The transparent keypad based on e-ink electronic paper display technology,
automatically adapts to portrait or landscape mode, depending on the
function required; key legends are displayed in portrait mode for phone
dialing, and in landscape mode for sending emails, text or web browsing.
'This is our first design win at Samsung - a top tier mobile phone supplier
and represents an important success for Dialog to be adding Samsung as a
new customer', said Dr Jalal Bagherli, CEO of Dialog Semiconductor.
'Smartphones are the current growth sector for the cellular market and has
been a focus for Dialog.'
The DA8531 offers the best combination of display quality, energy
efficiency, size and cost, reducing the phones bill-of-materials and
required board space. It comes in a 5 x 5 x 1mm BGA package, requiring
only two external capacitors. The device has 64 display driver outputs and
communicates via a SPI serial interface.
