What is the number of colors

Number of colors , looks very simple , not that LCD TVs can display the number of colors you ? There will be no secret it, but still can not say that the secret ! But in the store, the number of colors they might have a second meaning . In addition to the number of colors the screen outside , businesses are more willing to emphasize the color chip number ( internal circuit can handle the number of colors ) .

LCD panel can show the number of colors , number of colors of the screen , the consumer can really see the final results . It depends on the screen to a screen driver IC can provide much of the liquid crystal molecules voltage levels : that is often said 6bit panel , 8bit and 10bit panel panel . Name suggests , 8bit panel driver IC is able to provide the liquid crystal molecules 8 -bit binary number of voltage, that is a power of 2, 8 , for the 256 level . So on the other . LCD TVs currently on the market mainstream products with 8bit drive ; Sony and some other brands of high-end products with 10bit drivers ; 6bit driven panel LCD TV has basically close eliminated. 8bit panel corresponds to the number of colors is 1.67M ( million ), 10bit panel corresponds to the number of colors is 1.07 billion colors.


The number of colors is the emphasis on the chip LCD television signal processing chip capable of handling the maximum number of colors . When an image signal is input when the internal TFT Display Module TV , circuits, and these chips will process the signal transmission mode , such as digital to analog , analog to digital conversion , noise reduction, decoding , etc. , by these changes, the input television signal is converted into the screen displays the desired signal . Such a signal processing is usually one or more blocks by a processing chip is completed. The calculation of these chips or chip precision is the number of colors . Although the LCD screen is concentrated in 8bit level, but chips have appeared in large numbers 10bit, 12bit, 18bit and even products .

LCD TV screens are usually the number of colors and the number of colors to be quite the chip , otherwise there will be a bottleneck . In product design, the chip cost far less than the cost of the screen , so the upgrade is often first appear the color of the chip number . This brings to the business opportunity. Business through the concept of the number of colors to steal the chip into the usual number of colors , do not clearly indicate the number of colors in the end what is , in turn,2x16 lcd display can give a greater value , thus attempting to deceive consumers .

In the actual purchase , the number of colors LCD TV screen is the ultimate reference standard. Because of advances in chip speed often exceeds the screen . The screen has a higher number of colors means better color , especially the color detail performance capabilities. Do not blindly be business value "Fudge " out .
