By offering support for 16.77 million display colours, the R61504 enables high quality display equivalent to that of a PC. Support for the MDDI small-amplitude-differential high-speed serial interface standard allows direct connection to an MDDI compatible baseband LSI, eliminating the need for a previously necessary bridge chip. The MDDI standard also offers a major reduction in the number of signal lines compared with the conventional parallel transfer method and enables low EMI noise to be achieved. The R61504 also features conventional parallel, serial and RGB interfaces.  Connection to a baseband LSI and microcontroller is possible by means of an 8/16-bit high-speed bus interface and highly efficient transfer can be performed by a high-speed burst RAM write function. In addition, RGB, Vsync and FMARK interfaces are incorporated as image data interfaces, facilitating support for moving images featuring smooth motion display. The new controller/driver incorporates an RGB individual gamma adjustment function that allows more precise red, blue and green gamma settings. This improves image colour reproduction and display quality by adjusting settings according to variations in image quality due to LCD panel colour characteristics or external lighting conditions. An endian-free function is also included. The term “endian” refers to the order in which data, etc. is stored in memory and has previously been converted by a microcontroller, for example, to suit the LCD driver. The R61504 includes endian conversion instructions that enable the conversion to be performed easily by software, making it possible to reduce the load on microcontroller software and helping to simplify development.
