NEC LCD Technologies' New High Luminance 21.3-Inch Monochrome UXGA LCD Module for Medical Use.Tokyo, Japan, Sept 29, 2006 - (JCN JCN Japan Corporate News JCN Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience JCN Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing JCN Journal of Christian Nursing JCN Job Control Number JCN Journal of Child Neurology JCN joint communications network (US DoD) Newswire) - 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. LCD Technologies, Ltd. today announced that it will begin shipping samples of its new 21.3-inch (54-centimeters-diagonal) monochrome ultra extended graphics array (hardware) eXtended Graphics Array - (XGA) An IBM display standard introduced in 1990. XGA supports a resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels with a palette of 256 colours, or 640 x 480 with high colour (16 bits per pixel). (UXGA (Ultra XGA) A screen resolution of 1600x1200 pixels.

(TFT LCD) module, part number NL160120AM27-13A, at the end of October. The new LCD module is extremely suitable for medical use including diagnosis of radiogram radiogram /ra·dio·gram/ (-gram?) radiograph. ra·di·o·gram n. A radiograph. radiogram (rā´dēōgram), interpretation of X-ray images. This new LCD, an upgraded model of NL160120AM27-06A launched in April 2005, boasts the highest luminance level in the UXGA and above monochrome class at 1700cd/m2 due to a combination of NEC LCD Technologies' own unique super-advanced, super-fine 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 (SA-SFT) technology and a high-intensity, direct back-light system. Furthermore, the new product realizes high contrast performance and brightness uniformity as a result of innovative modification of the LCD panel design. The main characteristics of the new model are as follows: 1. High Luminance The combination of NEC LCD Technologies' own unique super-advanced, super-fine TFT (SA-SFT) technology and a high-intensity, direct back-light system achieve a luminance of 1700cd/m2, the highest luminance level in the UXGA and above monochrome class. This brightness level is exceeded in the case of image diagnosis with X-ray film on a light box. In addition, if the level of luminance is suppressed, stable luminance levels can be preserved over a long period of time. 2. High Contrast Performance A review in panel design has achieved a reduction in the level of black brightness by at least 30% as compared with the conventional model, NL160120AM27-06A, although both are equipped with a high-intensity, direct back-light system. As a result, a high contrast ratio of 850:1, the highest ratio in the UXGA and above monochrome class, is realized. In addition, optimization of the optical design inhibits a "washed-out black" phenomenon that occurs when the viewing angle is enlarged - currently a common issue with in-plane switching (IPS) type LCD modules - leading to enhanced viewing angle performance of the contrast ratio. 3. High Brightness Uniformity A review in the panel design and optical design has reduced the brightness difference of the screen, realizing high brightness uniformity of the entire screen, a feature that has long-been sought after in medical image diagnosis. NEC LCD Technologies has continuously focused on R&D pursuing better picture quality based on its proprietary SFT SFT Statens Forurensningstilsyn (Norwegian Pollution Control Authority) SFT System Fault Tolerance SFT Shaft SFT Secure File Transfer SFT School Food Trust (UK) SFT Societe Francaise des Traducteurs technology in response to the advanced needs of a wide variety of professional fields, including the medical field. "We are confident that our new 21.3-inch monochrome LCD will fulfill the current needs of the medical market. It not only tops its class in terms of high luminance and color contrast, but answers demands for UXGA LCDs for image diagnosis that can maintain high brightness uniformity over long periods of time," said Hidetoshi Usui, department manager in charge of product planning and marketing, NEC LCD Technologies, Ltd. "At NEC LCD Technologies we aim to leverage our years of technological know-how to synergize excellent picture quality with adaptive design technologies, bringing the best product to market every time." NEC LCD Technologies will continue to pursue an even higher level of picture quality to supply products unrivaled in the medical field.

About NEC LCD Technologies, Ltd. NEC LCD Technologies, Ltd. is one of the world's leading providers of high-quality, innovative, active-matrix liquid crystal display An active matrix liquid crystal display (AMLCD) is a type of flat panel display, currently the overwhelming choice of notebook computer manufacturers, due to light weight, very good image quality, wide color gamut, and response time. The term was first used in 1975 by Dr T. (AM-LCDs) modules for the industrial and high-end monitor markets. The company focuses its development on three core technology areas: ultra-wide viewing angle SFT technology with high luminance and fast response; transflective NLT NLT abbr. night letter technology; and adaptive design technology that meet a variety of specialized needs for the flat panel display A thin display screen for computer and TV usage. The first flat panels appeared on laptop computers in the mid-1980s, and the LCD technology became the standard. Stand-alone LCD screens became available for desktop computers in the mid-1990s and exceeded sales of CRTs for the first time markets. NEC LCD Technologies' worldwide support includes sales and marketing affiliates NEC Electronics America, Inc. (www.am.necel.com) and NEC Electronics Europe (www.eu.necel.com) that offer specialized display solutions to their respective markets. NEC LCD Technologies employs approximately 1,200 people worldwide and offers one of the broadest product portfolios for the medical, factory automation, test and measurement, entertainment, kiosk, POS (1) See point of sale and packet over SONET.
