Business Editors/High-Tech Writers

ICHEON, Korea & AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 11, 2004

BOE HYDIS and Motion Computing today announced the availability of Viewiz, BOE HYDIS' Advanced Fringe Field Switching (AFFS) display panel, on Motion's new M1400 Tablet PC.

The new Viewiz wide-view screen enhances presentation sharing and real-time tablet PC collaboration with an almost unlimited viewing angle (160 to 180 degrees) that works in both portrait and landscape display modes. Because the display is brighter, clearer and can be seen straight-on and at varying angles, it improves the user experience while walking, standing or sitting, and especially when viewing the tablet PC on a flat surface.

Motion's 12.1-inch XGA TFT display -- widely acclaimed because its dimensions approximate those of a sheet of paper -- is even better on the M1400 because of the Viewiz AFFS screen technology.

In addition to its remarkably wide viewing angle, the Viewiz AFFS display panel brings to the Motion M1400 Tablet PC:

-- Increased brightness and high contrast

-- High image quality, suitable for TV

-- No color shift, for vivid and authentic color without

discoloration at any angle

-- No ripples from pen/screen contact

-- Faster response time

-- Low backlight power consumption for longer battery life

"BOE HYDIS is a specialist in high-quality TFT LCDs and display solutions, and our proprietary AFFS technology is ideally suited for tablet PCs," said Doug K. Kim, executive vice president of BOE HYDIS. "The rapidly growing popularity of Motion's innovative products and the emphasis the company places on high-quality displays validates why we chose Motion Computing as a partner."

"Our collaboration with BOE HYDIS has resulted in an innovative and compelling advantage for the award-winning M1400," said David Altounian, Motion's chief product officer. "The wide viewing angle display has resulted in immediate industry acclaim and customer acceptance."

First patented by BOE HYDIS in 1996, Fringe Field Switching (FFS) allows images to be transmitted more effectively than the conventional In Plane Switching (IPS) mode. FFS precisely controls liquid crystal and controls light pass-through, improving the panel's image transmittance. BOE HYDIS refined this technology recently to create AFFS.
