Black Shark 2 Smartphone Takes Gaming Visual Performance to Next Level with Pixelworks Display Technology
March 18 2019 - 9:00AM
Pixelworks, Inc. (NASDAQ: PXLW), a leading provider of
power-efficient visual processing solutions, today announced that
Black Shark’s newest flagship gaming smartphone, the Black Shark 2,
incorporates the Pixelworks Iris visual processor to create the
most immersive mobile gaming experience to-date, building on two
prior models of jointly optimized gaming smartphones.
The Black Shark 2 features advanced technologies
for gaming enthusiasts, including exceptional visual quality that
exceeds the display performance of most flagship smartphones. In
addition to Super Cinema Mode, based on Pixelworks TrueClarity®
MEMC (motion estimation, motion compensation) technology, the Black
Shark 2 introduces Pixelworks’ multi-adaptive display modes. These
dynamic modes preserve Black Shark’s distinctively vivid and smooth
visuals across all mobile conditions by optimizing the appearance
of the display for the brightness and tone of the ambient lighting
environment.
Utilizing the Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 855 mobile
platform, the Black Shark 2 is built for gaming with a 6.39” FHD+
19.5:9 aspect ratio display and 1080x2340 resolution. The
smartphone’s AMOLED panel with P3 color gamut delivers cinematic
visual quality and unmatched color accuracy powered by Pixelworks’
Iris visual processor to bring high-performance gaming to life. In
addition, the Black Shark 2 Cinematic Display leverages a full
suite of Pixelworks’ display enhancement features, including:
- Absolute Color Accuracy, with calibration
designed to achieve an average delta E2000 of less than one
- TrueView Multi-adaptive Display for optimal
viewing across lighting conditions and ambient color tone,
including Day Light View (DLV), Night View and Reading Mode for eye
comfort
- Industry-leading HDR Tone Mapping and
Always HDR with real-time SDR-to-HDR conversion of
games and videos
- TrueClarity™ MEMC (motion estimation, motion
compensation) processing to eliminate unintended judder and
blur
“The growing smartphone gaming market has
demonstrated an insatiable appetite for performance, innovation and
above all, an immersive and exhilarating gaming experience. Now in
its third iteration, the Black Shark 2 highlights the latest
collaborative innovations between Black Shark and Pixelworks,” said
Peter Wu, CEO at Black Shark. “With industry-leading visual
processing creating a cinematic movie experience and a screen that
automatically adapts to changing lighting conditions, the Black
Shark 2 has set a new bar for mobile performance.”
Todd DeBonis, President and CEO at Pixelworks,
added, “Black Shark is constantly pushing boundaries in the
demanding and competitive mobile gaming market. This new gaming
phone is the perfect platform to highlight Pixelworks innovations
using a dedicated visual processor optimized for best-in-class HDR,
smooth, blur-free motion and now the capability to dynamically
optimize the visual experience for mobile gamers on the go. The
benefits of these display breakthroughs go well beyond gaming to
all things visual – whether streaming movies, enjoying sports
action or viewing video captured on the Black Shark 2 itself.”
Pixelworks’ twenty years of innovation has
culminated in an unrivaled technology portfolio and an
industry-leading position in the visual processing and video
delivery markets. Exceeding the highest standards set by content
creators and service providers alike, Pixelworks’ HDR technology
supports a contrast ratio of up to 1M:1 with 10x improvement in
color accuracy and is auto-adaptive to ambient light. The
Pixelworks TrueClarity MEMC technology eliminates judder and blur
that occurs from camera motion or movement within frames, without
the undesired “soap opera effect” (SOE), significantly improving
the visual experience for gaming, movie streaming and user
generated video. Additionally, Pixelworks’ picture quality
features, including sharpness and local contrast enhancement,
expose the full fidelity of displayed images.
Black Shark introduced the Black Shark 2 gaming
smartphone at a launch event on March 18, 2019 in Beijing, China.
Online reservations can be made starting today, and the Black Shark
2 is expected to become available for purchase beginning on March
22, 2019.
