About LS-Font System

L(LIM) S(Scalable)-Font System is a font system(font renderer) suitable for the medical equipment equipped with the small display, and a variety-of-information terminal equipment.
We have multiple product lineup which uses the original character generation algorithm of our company, and can propose a font engine suitable for CPU and the liquid crystal panel to be used.
LS-Font System is used for 70% of product in the domestic cell phone market, and that shows reliance and the achievement of LS-Font System.
Moreover, LS-Font System can display not only Japanese but Chinese, the Hankul alphabet, and European languages, and has the achievement used for a variety of products.
There is the following four lineup in LS-Font System.
Response time is short even if low speed CPU is embedded. The quality of the large size font in hardware with a comparatively high specification is kept, and also has the layout engine (Thai, Arabian). By having unique inclusion DB, large-scale Chinese-character-font-data capacity is compressed into 1/10 or less capacity(*1).
It is a unique bitmap compression algorithm of our company.
When only two to 3 size includes bit map typeface in a product, this compression engine is effective.

*1    Japanese(Kanji) about 140KB, Chinese(GB2312) about 160KB, (GB18030) about 530KB

About Smart-Engine

We have Smart-Engine which implemented the bit map compression extraction and the perfect reversibility algorithm which LIM developed originally besides the scalable font engine.
In the following cases, this product is useful.
   * The performance of a scalable engine is low because of low-spec CPU.
   * The number of font sizes is limited.
Since compressibility changes by size and typeface, please ask by E-mail for details. You can also ask in English the U.S. Office (it indicates on the left).
