NEC DEVELOPS 61" XGA PLASMA MONITOR.NEC (NEC Corporation, Tokyo, www.nec.com, www.necus.com) An electronics conglomerate known in the U.S. for its monitors. In Japan, it had the lion's share of the PC market until the late 1990s (see PC 98). NEC was founded in Tokyo in 1899 as Nippon Electric Company, Ltd. (Nasdaq: NIPNY) has unveiled the results of a product development effort intended to deliver the industry's first 61" 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. resolution plasma monitor at the National Association of Broadcaster's Show April 23-26, 2001 in Las Vegas Las Vegas (läs vā`gəs), city (1990 pop. 258,295), seat of Clark co., S Nev.; inc. 1911. It is the largest city in Nevada and the center of one of the fastest-growing urban areas in the United States. . The prototype monitor, the PlasmaSync 61MP1, incorporates NEC's industry-leading PDP (1) (Plasma Display Panel) See plasma display. (2) (Policy Decision Point) See COPS and XACML.

The PlasmaSync 61MP1 is anticipated to be the first plasma monitor with a 60+" screen size to be mass produced and delivered to the North American North American named after North America.

NEC will utilize their state-of the-art PDP production facility in Kagoshima, Japan to manufacture the 61" panel. The NEC facility currently contains panel fabrication fabrication (fab´rikā´sh  n),n the construction or making of a restoration. lines capable of producing 61" PDP glass, so no additional manufacturing infrastructure is required to place this panel into mass production. Additionally, key elements of the 61" Wide XGA resolution panel -- such as 1365 x 768 driver circuitry -- are being adapted from NEC's current 50" XGA PDP panel technology. This has resulted in shorter development lead times and will lead to efficiencies in mass production by using proven technology that is readily adaptable to the new glass size. "One of the driving trends in the plasma industry is the demand for larger screen sizes," said Scott Evans, product marketing manager for the Visual Systems Division at NEC Technologies. "By capitalizing on our significant R&D strengths and adapting proven PDP technologies, NEC is putting forth a tangible plan to be the first manufacturer to deliver plasma monitors in the 60+" screen size to the market." The PlasmaSync 61MP1 will feature a 1365 x 768 Wide XGA resolution in a 16:9 aspect ratio screen. It will also incorporate the host of standard Multimedia Presentation (MP) Series features that make the MP Series the only plasma displays ideally suited for multimedia presentation applications. |
