In this paper, we have designed an LCD controller based on AMBA. Normally display systems using the LCD are adopted independent bus architecture for high speed data access. Proposed LCD controller complies with AMBA data format and has an image scaler that executes interpolation for full screen display. This image scaler employs FOI for horizontal scaling and H-Shape pseudomedian filter for vertical scaling. It has been designed with VHDL and verified on prototype board using Xilinx FPGA and LCD panel.

Currently NTSC, PAL, and SECOM are widely used for TV broadcasting systems. In Korea, NTSC has been used to reduce transmission bandwidth and broadband flickers using the Interlaced scanning method. Image data in the Interlaced scanning method require De-interlacing compensation for PC-based multimedia applications. The existing compensation algorithms such as ZOI, FOI, and ELA provieds simple computations and effective image compensation while the PSNR is low and horizontal and vertical edges are hardly detected. In this paper, the ADI(Adaptive De-Interlacing) algorithm that can increase PSNR and detect horizontal and vertical edges is proposed and a hardware system is implemented using three ACTEL 1020B FPGA chips. The system consists of the algorithm part implemented using two FPGAs and the memory control part implemented using rest one. Also the system operation is investigated for real time processing.
