Description

99.1   Press release dated March 18, 2008 announcing Pixelplus’ complete victory in the Seoul High Court on the disputed color filter patent claimed by MagnaChip.


Exhibit 99.1

Pixelplus Obtains A Complete Victory in the Seoul High Court on the Disputed Color Filter Patent Claimed by MagnaChip

Press Release

SEOUL, South Korea, March 18, 2008 — Pixelplus Co., Ltd. (NASDAQ: PXPL), a fabless semiconductor company in Korea that designs, develops, and markets CMOS image sensors for various consumer electronics applications, today announced it obtained a completely favorable ruling in the patent infringement proceedings from the Seoul High Court on the disputed color filter patent claimed by MagnaChip Semiconductor (“MagnaChip”). Given this favorable development, MagnaChip’s patent infringement claims on the color filter patent will no longer be contested or remain at issue.

The Seoul High Court’s ruling on the color filter patent reflects and reinforces the earlier decision issued by the Seoul Central District Court in February 2007, under which the Company obtained a complete victory on the disputed color filter and contact hole process patents claimed by MagnaChip. In March 2007, MagnaChip filed an appeal with the Seoul High Court to reverse this earlier ruling issued by the Seoul Central District Court. In November 2007, MagnaChip completely withdrew its claims on the disputed contact hole process patent in Seoul High Court.
