How Tv Has Evolved
1989
TV Type: CRT
Screen Size < 36”
# of TV per household = 1
Picture: SD
2009
TV Type: LCD (mostly)
Screen Size < 55”
# of TV per household ~ 2.5
Picture: HD
Dramatic increase in Household Power consumption due to larger display size & TV count per house

Top Reasons For Local Dimming in LED TV
More Energy Efficient and Better Picture Quality Tops Consumer Wish List for “next” LCD TV purchase
Demand for additional capability such as 3D, Color reproduction etc
- Driven by better and localized LED control & switching speed.

Market success not only due to Picture Quality
Lessons from Plasma Tv
- Plasma had the Best Picture Quality & still failed to capture TV market share. Why ?
High Power Consumption
Average Cost
Poor Form Factor
Low Power Consumption
Best Picture Quality
Thin Form Factor
Low Cost

Cost of LED’s
Large Number of LEDs
Includes Bin-ing costs
Cost of (too many) discrete Drivers
“Thermal Problem” due to Wasted power
causes heat that limits the driving of many LED
channels from one chip
Results in having too many driver ICs

Innovative Approach Solves the Thermal problem AND reduces cost
iWatt’s unique patent pending Adaptive Switch technology reduces wasted power by up to 60%
Minimizes the thermal problem
Enables driving of very high channel counts from Single IC
Single Chip saves BOM Cost
Wider Vf Bin reduces LED cost

Benefits of iW7040 LED Driver
Upto 60% reduction in wasted power (compared to similar local dimming LED TV using generic drivers)
Typical Savings of about 2W ~ 4.5W per IC Helps meet the most aggressive Energy Star 5 standard
Significant BOM cost savings due to higher integration (compared to similar LED TV using 8/16 Ch drivers)
Typical savings of around $8-$10 Less component count, smaller pcb, fewer insertions 75% fewer drivers means fewer component failures
Significantly improving reliability and lowering warranty costs
LED Cost Savings Wider Vf bin-ning range saves LED cost
Better picture quality Better TV system matching & local dimming
