Tri-Vision licenses U.S. V-chip to Lite-On

In Tri-Vision's growing licensee family, Lite-On is the 27th company to be awarded a U.S. License. Other companies which have acquired V-chip licenses for Tri-Vision's U.S. '402 Patent include: LG Electronics, Hitachi, Sharp, Pioneer, Funai, Orion, Korat Denki, World Electric, Eastech, Erae Electronics, Seiko Epson, Shenzhen KXD, Optoma, Coretronic, Akai, Chunghwa, NEC, Humax, Viewsonic, Shinco, and a number of major corporations, including Dell Inc., have committed to selling televisions under Tri-Vision's license.

As part of the transition to a digital television broadcast system in the United States, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has mandated phased-in rules to ensure that the V-chip can respond to any rating system changes in all digital television receiver products by March 1 2007. Tri-Vision's open V-chip (also known as V-chip 2.0) is the only known patented technology capable of accepting modified or new rating systems. The FCC ruling took effect on March 15, 2006.
