NEC LCD Technologies to Launch New 3.5-Inch System-on-Glass LCD Module Suitable for Broad Range of Portable Equipment.Tokyo, Japan, Apr 9, 2007 - (JCN 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. has begun sample shipment of a new 3.5-inch (8.9-centimeters-diagonal) video graphic array (VGA), low temperature poly-silicon (LTPS See LTPS TFT LCD. ) thin-film-transistor (TFT) 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, part number NL4864HL11-01B. The new LCD module is highly suited to installation in a wide variety of portable devices such as personal digital assistants (PDAs) and personal navigation devices (PNDs) as it enables a high level of visibility in indoor/outdoor environments with high ambient light. Supporting the following features, the 3.5 inch system-on-glass module is the first product to be manufactured on the LTPS-TFT mass production line at NEC LCD Technologies' Akita plant. 1. Higher density through integration of peripheral circuitry Value Integrated TFT-LCD TFT-LCD Thin Film Transistor - Liquid Crystal Display (VIT) technology used to integrate peripheral circuitry on the glass substrate of the LCD module, enables a significant reduction in the glass substrate periphery wiring and the number of connections with external circuits, resulting in four times higher density than that of conventional 3.5-inch quarter video graphic array (QVGA (Quarter VGA) A screen resolution of 320x240 pixels, which is used on handheld devices. Although 320x240 seems half the 640x480 VGA resolution, the "quarter" comes from the total number of pixels, which is one fourth the number (320 times 240=76800; 640 times 480=307200). ) products. 2. High luminance and high reflectance ratios, even with high density The combination of NEC LCD Technologies' proprietary super-reflective, natural light TFT-LCD technology (SR-NLT) and LTPS technology, which achieves high transmissivity, allows simultaneous realization of high luminance of 200cd/m2 and a high reflective ratio of 10%, even with a high density of 200 pixels per inch “Ppi” redirects here. For other uses, see PPI. Pixels per inch (PPI) or pixel density is a measurement of the resolution of a computer display, related to the size of the display in inches and the total number of pixels in the horizontal and . Moreover, it achieves a high contrast ratio of 150:1. These factors jointly combine to realize bright and crystal clear display in any kind of ambient light environment. 3. Equipped with touch-panel, timing controller, and DC-DC DC-DC Direct Current to Direct Current (power conversion) converter Equipped with a touch-panel, timing controller, and a DC-DC converter, the new module offers a range of benefits to manufacturers of portable information devices, from a reduction in development costs and lead time, to the miniaturization min·i·a·tur·ize tr.v. min·i·a·tur·ized, min·i·a·tur·iz·ing, min·i·a·tur·iz·es To plan or make on a greatly reduced scale. min of portable information devices. NEC LCD Technologies has been developing higher value-added, small-sized LCD modules for next generation PDAs, PNDs and various portable terminals in recent years, with a focus on LCD modules for high-end professional and industrial fields. "Recently, the market has seen a rapid increase in the upgrading and diversification of functions for portable devices, creating demand for more information display on screens. However, increased information display must be achieved in sync with vivid color expression and improved visibility under direct sunlight to truly fulfill customer needs and expand the market. We are confident that our new system-on-glass LCD module will completely fulfill these needs through a combination of our proprietary SR-NLT and Value Integrated TFT-LCD technologies," said Masaaki Hiroshima, Product Planning Department Manager at NEC LCD Technologies. NEC LCD Technologies will continue to develop and supply LCD modules of high added-value, while expanding their range of VIT technology applications to industrial fields and small-sized devices. The new 3.5-inch system-on-glass LCD module will be exhibited at Display 2007, which is being held from April 11-13 in Tokyo Big Sight Tokyo Big Sight (東京ビッグサイト , Japan.

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 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.
