Fujitsu’s family of Graphics Display Controllers provides optimized solutions for embedded graphic environments including car navigation, head-up displays, console displays, virtual dashboards and mobile information terminals. In addition to offering leading-edge embedded rendering capability, Fujitsu graphics controllers have a flexible layer concept, a wide range of 2D and 3D rendering functions and provide support for various screen resolutions as well as dual display outputs and video input.
Modern trends of information display systems in automotive or marine applications expose a transition from pointers and gauges to hybrid dashboards (pointer+TFT). That’s why it’s important to have an integrated IC solution combining an automotive-grade MCU with graphics display and processing functions.

Fujitsu MB86R03 ‘Jade-L’
MB86R03 ‘Jade-L’ is a feature-reduced version of ‘Jade’ SoC. ‘Jade-L’ eliminates some peripheral interfaces such as MediaLB, PATA and USB which are present on ‘Jade’.
Fujitsu MB86R11 ‘Emerald-L’
MB86R11 combines the high-performance Cortex™-A9 CPU with four video inputs and up to three display outputs, enabling the high-speed image processing of video data I/O from these interfaces. For example, MB86R11 has made it possible using a single chip to develop a 360 degree wrap-around view system that synthesizes and converts a composite image of the surroundings of a vehicle in real time from the images of four cameras mounted on the front, rear, left and right of the vehicle. A function that automatically corrects the image contrast ensures high visibility at night or when employing the screen’s backlight. In addition, this function makes it possible to correct the image of TV or DVD video, making it crisp and bright. When displaying 3D maps in a car navigation system, graphics of not only intersections – which can already be displayed in high quality using existing systems – but also streets and scenery, can be displayed using higher-resolution textures.
