NEC LCD Technologies to Enhance Line-up of LCD Modules With White LED Backlight System Through Launch of Two New TFT LCD Modules.Tokyo, Japan, Sept 12, 2007 - (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 today introduced two new 6.5-inch (17cm-diagonal) amorphous-silicon 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) modules with high luminance and video graphics array See VGA. (hardware) Video Graphics Array - (VGA) A display standard for IBM PCs, with 640 x 480 pixels in 16 colours and a 4:3 aspect ratio. There is also a text mode with 720 x 400 pixels. (VGA (Video Graphics Array) The display standard for the PC. All PC display adapters support VGA, and Windows machines boot up in "VGA mode" before switching to higher resolutions. ) resolution. The modules, part number NL6448BC20-21C and NL6448BC20-21D, eliminate the need for an 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. circuit by employing white light emitting diodes (LEDs) for the backlight system, instead of the cold-cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFLs) that are traditionally used. The white LED backlight system achieves low power consumption in a slim package that, while lightweight, is highly resistant to shock and vibration, making it ideal for use in portable display systems in industrial applications. By eliminating the need for an inverter circuit it becomes possible to curb the generation of high-frequency noise and harmonic current. Moreover, because the LED backlight system is free of mercury, the new NEC modules are more environmentally friendly than modules using CCFL (Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp) Same as CCFT. backlights. One of the new models, part number NL6448BC20-21C, incorporates NEC LCD Technologies' proprietary super-transmissive natural light TFT (ST-NLT) technology and is able to display vivid colors in environments with high ambient light, resulting in high reliability and excellent visibility in a variety of viewing environments. Worldwide the need for portable terminals in industrial applications has been rising rapidly. Since most of the portable terminals are battery powered they require low power consumption and compact light weight displays that are durable enough for use in severe environments, such as outdoors or in-vehicle."To respond to the increasing need for industrial-application displays that offer high reliability, visibility, and durability, NEC LCD Technologies launched a new 6.5-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. LCD module with a white LED backlight system, part number NL10276BC13-01C, earlier this year," said Masaaki Hiroshima, Product Planning Department Manager, NEC LCD Technologies. "Subsequently, demand for LED LCD modules, in a variety of resolutions and sizes, has increased. Our two new products ensure that we continue to offer an unmatched range of LCD products, meeting the needs of customers in every industry.". The company will continue to enhance its line-up of LCD modules featuring white LED backlight systems to address the needs of a variety of industrial applications. In addition, the company aims to improve the range of environments where LCD modules can be used through continued performance enhancement of its broad range of LCD modules. NEC LCD Modules at Embedded Systems Conference Showcasing NEC's leading-edge technology, NEC Electronics America will demonstrate a new 6.5-inch LCD module, part number NL10276BC13-01C, plus other modules with white LED backlight systems at Embedded Systems Conference (booth #1009), Boston Hynes Convention Center The John B. Hynes Veterans Memorial Convention Center located in Boston's Back Bay has 193,000 square feet (0 m) of exhibit space and can accommodate up to four concurrent events. , September 19-20. Announced at Society of Information Display (SID) conference in May 2007, the NL10276BC13-01C module has high luminescence and 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). (XGA) resolution, and is ideal for portable display systems used in industrial applications.
