High performance overdrive using improved motion adaptive codec in LCD

To improve overdrive performance in LCD, we present an improved motion adaptive codec (IMAC). The IMAC contains two approaches to improve the motion adaptive codec overdrive (MAC-OD). The first is an advanced hybrid image codec (AHIC) for the efficient reduction of the image data stored in frame memory. The second is an advanced motion adaptive selector to reduce the overdrive error. The simulation results show that the IMAC at 6.04:1 compression ratio significantly improves the overdrive performance by 2.268 dB in PSNR and achieves better visual quality compared with the conventional MAC-OD at 4:1 compression ratio. The IMAC is implemented with the Verilog HDL and fully synthesizable. It can be applied to shorten liquid crystal response time and minimize motion blur of LCD in TV and desktop applications.
