General Description
1
The LG4573B is a 16M-color single-chip controller driver IC for a-Si TFT liquid crystal display with
supporting various resolutions of max 480RGB x 1024 dots GIP1 panels.
The driver supports MIPI2 DBI3 and DPI4 interfaces. The driver also supports MIPI DSI5 interface for
high-speed and low power transmission in both directions with low EMI noise.
The LG4573B supports dot inversion for higher image quality and moving flicker free image
realizations with low power driving.
The LG4573B supports BLU6 control functionality by analyzing the display data properties and it helps
to get lower power consumptions without image losses.
The LG4573B can operate with low I/O interface power supply down to 1.65V, with an incorporated
voltage follower circuit to generate voltage levels for driving an LCD. The driver also supports function
such as 8-color displays and shut down. And these features make the LG4573B an ideal LCD driver for
medium or small sized portable products supporting WWW full browsers such as smart phones or
PDAs, where long battery life is a major concern.
