LCD Makers Looking to Cut Down on Blur

LCD manufacturers led by Samsung Electronics are beginning to employ a technology called motion-compensated frame interpolation (MCFI) to increase the refresh rates of the picture to decrease the amount of blur that shows up on screen. MCFI doubles the refresh rate from 60 hertz (times per second) to 100-120 hertz, creating composites of the images that came before and after in an effort to help the human eye predict what the missing image would have looked like had it actually been inserted in the film.

JVC has already begun selling LCD flat panel displays with the interpolation, while Samsung and Sharp plan to next year.
