The display module is designed in 41.2 mm x 53.8 mm screen size, has built-in low-power features and combines excellent color quality with backlighting for increased readability in all external conditions, even direct sunlight. Higher performance display technology in mobile phones have become more increasingly important to the consumer and, as a result, features such as large screen size, increased color quality, screen resolution and low power consumption are more prevalent in the market. With LifePix(TM) built into Philips' Nemesis P8894-I, the low-temperature poly-silicon (LTPS See LTPS TFT LCD. ) 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 ) display module includes a smart color mapping algorithm that offers the most complete color-enhancing solution on the market for optimal brightness and color. As consumer demands for smaller, fully functional mobile phones increases, manufacturers will depend on technology standardization to help them speed time-to-market. Through its compliance with S60 and Symbian OS, Philips' Nemesis P8894-I is compatible with various hardware designs and software configurations. The display module, supporting all S60 Symbian software and applications, is the combination of advanced display technology in a very compact mechanical package with an easy-to-use software interface that is ideal for new mobile services such as rich content downloading and multimedia messaging. "Philips is at the forefront of providing new display technologies to meet consumer demand for increased functionality in mobile phones," said Giovanni Montesanti, senior director, Global Marketing and Strategy, Philips Mobile Display Systems.

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). ) display of the same size with 190 ppi. In addition to a unique in-cell reflectance, Philips' video enhancing LifePix(TM) is built in to the display module significantly enhancing the LCD's perceived color performance by more than 40 percent previously capable. This results in an overall increase in display visibility. Availability Philips' Nemesis P8894-1 is currently available. The display comes complete with all the necessary interfaces and can be delivered with or without a metal frame.
