Feed-Forward Driving LCDs are coming?

    Mitsubishi Electric say to have new LCD with "Compression Feed-forward Driving" (cFFD) and that this technology produces a clear, moving picture display .



    So, we can finally see some real product?


    New NEC 19'' IPS + Mitsubishi cFFD = super monitor? 8o :)

    Sounds very good, but let's wait to see this technology "in action".
    That Mitsubishi hypes its own technology is understandable of course...

    sounds like a lot of marketing babble to me.... Whatever it means that they'll continue to develop LCDs for Windows??
    Does picture compression mean they plan to raise the video bandwidth?
    I wish I was a hardware geek, but unfortunately I don't really understand how the speed gain will be achieved...

    Yes, many marketing words... :rolleyes:


    Only seeing a real monitor we can know the real FFD benefits, and how much expensive is this technology.

    No, that's not only marketing.

    thanks, now this was interesting to read. Maybe Mitsubishi should instead use this as a press release...

    PS. D**N.. As soon as you buy a gadget, it's outdated... I never get my wife to accept that I need another 1000 Euro monitor after just one year...

    Seems like they were not able to build the technology into a monitor that could be sold on the market. A TFT with <20ms response time in all situations - sounds like a dream...

    Thanks for the link Jetson!!
    There is a explanation of FFD that anyone can understand.


    Interesting to know that:
    "It exists completely in the controller circuitry"


    The only wrong thing is this forecast: :D
    "FFD will be incorporated in mass-production LCD panels starting in the first quarter of 2002. "

    Feed-Forward Driving LCDs ??


    Is there a good German expression for it? The translation word by word doesn't make sense ...


    Ähm, Kinders, gibt es einen passenden deutschen Ausdruck dafür? Die wörtliche Übersetzung ergibt irgendwie nicht wirklich etwas sinnvolles...

    Vollgas-TFT! :D
    Das klingt doch dynamisch (aber ein bisschen wie ein Plasma-Fernseher :D)

    edit.. Oh, war ja nicht fast forward sondern feed forward, was ist denn auf Deutsch das Gegenteil von Rückkopplung (Vorkopplung???).

    That's most tempting because it allows to make any existing LCD faster without modifying the panel itself. The article is also a good explanation why response times aren't a constant factor.
    Imagine to take a good panel like in the 1880SX and fine-tune it with a FFD circuitry.

    Slurp!! :)


    But someone say is an expensive technology and this explain why there are not final products. :(

    What can be so expensive if the panel doesn't have to be modified?
    I guess there are still technical problems...


    You are right! We had this discussion quite some time ago:


    Blexxun pointet out the obstacle the manufactures have not been able to overcome so far is the unpredictable variance of the responce time of a normal LCD panel (for whatever reason). Maybe that is goint to change in the near future! If so, it would be no problem at all to integrate a lockuptable into the controler.

    aren't lockups aready a windows built-in feature for more than a decade ? ;)

    I think it´s the same fake like Sony´s 200MHz RISC-processors in their LCD´s. I think it´s marketing, too.
