Nouvoyance Inc Information

Nouvoyance is an independent technology development and fabless semiconductor company that has developed PenTile® technology, in partnership with Samsung Electronics, for flat-panel display manufacturers and their IC suppliers to improve the brightness, resolution, contrast, and power consumption of flat-panel displays. Nouvoyance is currently expanding our range of capabilities to develop a variety of technologies for a wider set of customers, for applications related to digital signal processing, displays, and associated hardware. PenTile technology was originally developed by Clairvoyante, Inc. Clairvoyante was founded in July 2000 by Candice H. Brown Elliott. Ms. Brown Elliott theorized that display performance could be significantly improved by capitalizing on the principals of human color perception, which led her to develop PenTile® subpixel layouts and related image-processing algorithms. Samsung Electronics aquired Clairvoyante's assets in March 2008. Nouvoyance was founded in early 2008 as an independent enterprise to provide continued engineering support, research, and development of PenTile technology and other improvements to color displays. Nouvoyance is led by CEO Candice Brown Elliott. Nouvoyance has closely partnered with Samsung Display Corporation and their licensees to develop world class color flat panel displays and associated digital signal processing ASICs and drivers using PenTile technology. Please contact Nouvoyance for information regarding the range of engineering services and ASIC products that may be applied to your applications. Nouvoyance is located in Cupertino, California in the heart of Silicon Valley, and in Sebastopol, California, in the heart of the wine country.
