Philips announces new HD picture processing technology for its TVs
Philips has unveiled a new picture processing system it claims takes HD imaging to a new level.
Dubbed the Perfect Pixel HD Engine, it’s the next generation of Philips’ picture-improvement technologies, building on platforms like Pixel Plus 3 HD for increased resolution and enhancement of detail. The end result, Philips claims, is ‘a unique combination of superior sharpness, natural detail, vivid color and smooth natural motion fully capable of meeting the demands of the coming generation of HDTV content’.
Perfect Pixel HD Engine brings together a suite of Philips picture quality improvement technologies: 100Hz ClearLCD, Digital Natural Motion, Horizontal & Vertical Luminance Transient Improvement (LTI) and Color Booster with 14-bit processing.
100Hz ClearLCD addresses a common limitation found in many ordinary LCD TVs - motion artifacts in fast-moving pictures. By changing the physical response of the liquid crystals using Overdrive Control technology, ClearLCD cuts the response time to just three milliseconds. Response time is further improved by doubling the refresh rate to 100 hertz, producing fast, streak-free action without the blurring previously experienced on LCD TVs. 100Hz ClearLCD tackles also the ‘hold’ problem – a perceived blurring caused by the human eye as each frame is ‘held’ by continuous backlighting, then moved in steps with each new frame.
Advanced Perfect Pixel HD Engine picture processing
Philips’ claims that its Perfect Pixel HD Engine provides more advanced video-signal processing than any other system on the market, employing 14-bit colour processing and combining it with advanced sharpness and resolution-enhancement techniques.
One of the most sophisticated aspects of the Engine is Philips’ proprietary Horizontal & Vertical LTI process. This sub-pixel application increases the number of lines and pixels per line to match the resolution of the display panel. Perfect Pixel HD Engine also goes a step further by changing the luminance value of each individual pixel: each pixel of the incoming picture is enhanced to match the surrounding pixels, resulting in a much sharper and more natural picture.
Another part of the Perfect Pixel HD Engine is Philips’ new Colour Booster system. This increases the saturation of colours, making them even more vibrant. The saturation increase is calculated per pixel, and is stronger with pixels having low saturation to eliminate ‘over-saturating’ and unwanted skin-tone or white-tone shifts. Apparently the Colour Booster together with 14-bit processing generates a color palette of 4 trillion colors.
As with Philips’ previous image processing systems, Perfect Pixel HD Engine is supported by Active Control, a dynamic process which continuously measures and corrects incoming signals to give the best and most consistent picture quality. Sharpness, noise, contrast, color and ambient light of incoming signals are all measured.
The result of all the elements embodied in Philips Perfect Pixel HD Engine is a Full HD 1080p display, delivering a resolution of 6.2 million pixels.
Philips Perfect Pixel HD Engine will feature in a number of Philips FlatTVs to be launched during 2007, starting with the 32-inch 32PFL9632D to be introduced in Europe in the second quarter of 2007.
