The company says that the patented Powercore technology increases electrical efficiency and lowers production costs.

16-channel LED driver improves full-color video displaysTexas Instruments Incorporated (TI) has introduced a 16-channel, 50 mA constant-current sink LED driver, with an input voltage of up to 17 V. The TLC5943's integrated enhanced spectrum pulse-width modulation (PWM) improves image quality and reduces flicker noise in monochrome, multicolor and full-color LED displays, as well as LED signboards and display backlighting. Each of the TLC5943's 16 channels has an individually adjustable 16-bit

Showa Denko K.K. (SDK) has begun commercial shipment of aluminum-gallium-indium-phosphide (AlGaInP) ultrabright red LED chips with luminous efficiency of 80lm/W, touted to be the highest level on the market. The luminous efficiency of the new product represents a 40 percent improvement over SDK's existing grade.The new product features high efficiency of bringing out light with the improved shape and arrangement of electrodes and chip surface treatment. This enables to maintain same level of brightness with less of LED lamps, thus contributing to energy conservation.
