Trident in Volume Production With 4 Out of Top 5 Panel Manufacturers and 4 Out of Top 6 TV Manufacturers
2010 Volume Production Design Wins Highlight the Strength of the New Trident as the Industry Leader in the DTV Market
SUNNYVALE, Calif., July 29 -- Demonstrating continued success in the market, Trident Microsystems, Inc. (NASDAQ:TRID), a leading provider of set-top box and TV semiconductor solutions, today announced that its digital TV solutions are ramping production for the critical 2010 holiday selling season with 4 out of the top 5 panel manufacturers and 4 out of the top 6 TV manufacturers. These TVs and panels include high-definition 2D and 3D entertainment systems that are shipping in volume today to deliver superior picture quality through Trident's patented ESR (enhanced super resolution), motion estimation/motion compensation (MEMC) and other proprietary technologies.
"With more than 2,000 patents and top-three industry positions in both TV and set-top box, Trident has become a major force in the digital entertainment market," said Sylvia Summers, CEO of Trident Microsystems. "The new and stronger Trident leads the industry today with the most vivid and brilliant TV images, a strong feature set across a broad TV product range, and a future product roadmap that we believe positions us well to keep winning in the market."
Trident estimates that for 2010 it currently has the number one market share position in semiconductor system solutions for digital and analog TV. The company estimates that it also has leading market share of greater than 50% in FRC (frame-rate-converter) co-processors that are used to create 240hz and higher frame-refresh rates in high-end digital TVs. These co-processors are essential in delivering 3D content in unsurpassed quality and Trident FRCs are at the heart of many 3D TVs in the market.
