Silicon Image is an American semiconductor design company. The company manufactures a variety of integrated circuits commonly used in modern computers and consumer electronic devices. But is focused on storage, distribution and presentation of high-definition content in the consumer electronics, personal computing, and mobile device markets. The company was founded in 1995, and is traded on the NASDAQ market under the symbol SIMG. The company, which employs around 600 people, is headquartered in Sunnyvale, California.

Simplay Labs, LLC (http://www.SimplayLabs.com), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Silicon Image, offers testing tools, technologies, support services, consulting and product certification to electronics manufacturers to increase performance, interoperability and ensure the quality.

The company's products include high-speed communications devices for use in DVI capable displays and PCs, HDMI set-top boxes, DVD players, AV receivers, displays, PCs and mobile devices; and SATA chipsets for internal and external hard disk drives.

Silicon Image recently unveiled a chipset and technology architecture that enables portable devices (cell phones, PDAs, MP3 players, digital cameras and camcorders) to connect directly to HDTV HDMI connections called Mobile High-Definition Link (MHL). The new chipsets enable HDMI ports using 5 pins compared to a standard 19 pin HDMI port, which is ideal for lower-power mobile devices.
