Pixelworks Powers OnePlus 10 Pro Flagship to Deliver Superior Visual Experience

Showcases Always True-To-Life Color Appearance with Great Eye-Comfort Regardless of Ambient Lighting Conditions

SHANGHAI,Jan. 11,2022 --Pixelworks,Inc. (NASDAQ: PXLW),a leading provider of innovative video and display processing solutions,and OnePlus,a premium global smartphone manufacturer,today announced that the newly launched OnePlus 10 Pro smartphone incorporates Pixelworks' advanced Pro Software solution,bringing consistent color accuracy and eye-comfort experience in different viewing conditions.

The new OnePlus 10 Pro smartphone features a fluid AMOLED display with second-generation LTPO calibration technology and 120Hz refresh rate. The smartphone is built on the Qualcomm®Snapdragon™8 Gen 1 mobile platform,paired together with 8GB/ 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM. Powered by Pixelworks visual processing technology,the display capability of OnePlus 10 Pro has been further enhanced to deliver exceptional visual enjoyment.

A powerful screen is the foundation for achieving excellent visual quality,and Pixelworks technology serves as the engine to empower full utilization of the screen's display capability.

Pixelworks Pro Software solution brings significant visual display benefits to OnePlus 10 Pro smartphones,including:

Absolute Color Accuracy– Every OnePlus 10 Pro smartphone is factory calibrated with Pixelworks patented and high-efficiency calibration technology,producing an average Delta E value (an indicator for measuring color accuracy,the lower the better) less than 1,which means that the human eyes cannot detect any deviation from perfect color reproduction.

Professional Brightness Calibration– This industry-leading brightness calibration results in superior color accuracy in varied lighting conditions that are optimally aligned with people's visual perception. By ensuring the display's gamma value is always at 2.2 (best standard tested by image and video processing professionals),Pixelworks technology guarantees the most true-to-life experience for human eyes. Even in low brightness,the solution adapts the gamma curve to compensate for brightness to ensure the consistent color appearance of content displayed by the screen.

Ambient Adaptive Color Correction – Leveraging the 3D LUT method,Pixelworks visual processing technology conducts advanced color calibration,including the adjustment of gamma value,gamut alteration,and error tracking. This calibration technology also provides the dynamic correction of nonlinear attributes,interference colors,hue,saturation,and brightness. The comprehensive management of these attributes to a very precise level produces exacting and authentic color on the screen that is as vivid as what human eyes detect in the '3D space',regardless of ambient lighting conditions.

"Congratulations to the OnePlus team on the release of the OnePlus 10 Pro flagship! I believe many OnePlus fans have been looking forward to this moment and that this new model will prove it was worth the wait," said Leo Shen,Sr. VP,GM of Mobile BU,Pixelworks. "The extraordinary design and strong performance of OnePlus 10 Pro make the flagship look elegant and yet full of power.
