Breakthrough 2,200-Nit, Daylight-Readable TFT LCD Module Unveiled by Mitsubishi Electric and Landmark.Business/Technology Editors MD&M West 2001 ANAHEIM, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 8, 2001 New Display Features Proprietary ANGLEVIEW(R) Technology and Boasts 1,600 Nits Nits The eggs produced by head or pubic lice, usually grayish-white in color and visible at the base of hair shafts. Mentioned in: Lice Infestation of Luminance The amount of brightness, measured in lumens, that is given off by a pixel or area on a screen. For example, dark red and bright red would have the same chrominance, but a different luminance. with Only 22 Watts of Power Dissipation The Electronic Device Group of Mitsubishi Electric Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (三菱電機株式会社 & Electronics USA, Inc., together with Landmark Technology, Inc., unveiled today a new daylight-readable 15.0-inch XGA (EXtended Graphics Array) A screen resolution of 1,024x768 pixels. The term stems from IBM's XGA display standard introduced in 1990, which extended VGA to 132-column text and interlaced 1,024x768x256 resolution. XGA-2 later added non-interlaced 1,024x768x64K. color thin film transistor (TFT (Thin Film Transistor) The term typically refers to active matrix screens on laptop computers. Active matrix LCD provides a sharper screen display and broader viewing angle than does passive matrix. See LCD and thin film. TFT - Thin Film transistor ) liquid crystal display liquid crystal display (LCD) Optoelectronic device used in displays for watches, calculators, notebook computers, and other electronic devices. Current passed through specific portions of the liquid crystal solution causes the crystals to align, blocking the passage of light. (LCD) module that achieves a luminance of 2,200 nits (candelas per square meter Noun 1. square meter - a centare is 1/100th of an are centare, square metre area unit, square measure - a system of units used to measure areas ) using only 35 watts of backlight back·light n. A type of spotlight, used in photography, that illuminates a subject from behind. tr.v. back·light·ed or back·lit , back·light·ing, back·lights power. For power-sensitive designs, the new Landmark Technology display, which uses Mitsubishi Electric's ANGLEVIEW(R) technology, can reduce power dissipation to only 22 watts and still produce 1,600 nits of luminance. "Daylight readability and reduced power consumption are key market differentiators as more liquid crystal displays are used in daylight conditions," said Dale H. Maunu, director of flat-panel display products at Mitsubishi Electric & Electronics USA, Inc. "This new Landmark Technology display brings the richly saturated color and thin, lightweight form factor of Mitsubishi Electric's ANGLEVIEW display technology to numerous outdoor applications." "Landmark Technology has achieved its brightest display module ever because of the quality of Mitsubishi Electric's ANGLEVIEW display technology," said Ron Copps, vice president of sales and marketing at Landmark Technology, Inc. "The ANGLEVIEW technology, with its 8-bit interface, 24-bit true color, and wide viewing angle combined with Landmark's superior backlight, provides vivid images and a perceived 180-degree viewing cone." Availability and Pricing The new 15.0-inch XGA daylight-readable display module is available from Landmark Technology under the product number LM117A-15XA01B. The display module, which includes backlight and inverter (1) A logic gate that converts the input to the opposite state for output. If the input is true, the output is false, and vice versa. An inverter performs the Boolean logic NOT operation. (2) A circuit that converts DC current into AC current. Contrast with rectifier. , is currently in mass production and is priced at $1,350 each in sample quantities. It is available via distribution from All American Semiconductor (http://www.allamerican.com), Arrow Electronics (http://www.arrow.com), and Bell Microproducts (http://www.bellmicro.com).
