Exhibit 99.1

Pixelplus Unveils Its PC1030 for Security and Surveillance System Applications

Press Release

SEOUL, South Korea, April 23, 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 that it unveiled the “PC1030”, the Company’s NTSC/PAL image sensor for security and surveillance system applications.

The PC1030 is a highly integrated product which features a 0.3 megapixel array and incorporates – all on a single chip – CMOS image sensors, image signal processing algorithms, a television encoder for both NTSC and PAL systems which converts the digital video generated from the sensors to a 10-bit digital signal, and a video discretionary access control mechanism which converts the 10-bit signal to a composite analog signal for television viewing. The PC1030 incorporates smart features to generate digital output and analog output simultaneously.

“The PC1030 is one of our most exciting and innovative technologies, as it offers a single chip solution which will enable manufacturing of this product to be simple, efficient, and cost-effective,” said Dr. S.K. Lee, CEO and Founder of Pixelplus. “We are very excited about the PC1030 as it is highly integrated, delivers an advanced level of image quality, and operates well under low light conditions. In moving ahead, we seek to apply our PC1030 to a broad range of security and surveillance system applications and are confident that we can penetrate the growing market for low cost security and surveillance cameras, including CCTVs, door cameras, and IPTV applications.”
