The Laker™ FPD (Flat Panel Display) Layout Editor is the technology leader in Flat Panel Display (FPD) layout solutions. With built-in editing functions custom-tailored for flat panel layout, the Laker FPD Layout Editor enables layout engineers to create, route, edit and verify flat panel layout in a single high-performance environment. Four of the top five panel suppliers have adopted the Laker FPD solution for designing various types of flat panel displays.

Major Benefits

• Reduce cycle times with custom-tailored FPD layout automation
• Speed up pixel prototyping by creating parameterized devices that can be reconfigured in seconds
• Eliminate the major FPD equal-resistance routing bottleneck
• Quickly locate and debug ERC (electrical rule check) issues

Major Features

• Laker Layout Automation provides a rich and powerful layout environment
• Equal Resistance Router makes hundreds of connections quickly and accurately following user-defined patterns and parameters
• Resistance Calculator reports routing path resistance of automated and manual routes for immediate feedback of resistance values
• User Defined Device (UDD) speeds up pixel device prototyping, generation and modeling with parameterized device generation that does not require scripting capability
• Rule-Driven Editing will automatically check, display, and snap to width, space, notch, overlap, and enclosure rules
• Hierarchical cell placement and reporting capability automatically extracts the alignment mark locations relative to the top-level structure helping you to avoid tedious manual placement of alignment mark cells
• Ptext Generator creates floating polygonal text of specifiable width, from a choice of fonts
• Verification Explorer provides seamless integration with 3rd party physical verification tools such as Calibre® and Hercules™ to browse and debug design rule and LVS violations
