) - Sanyo Epson Imaging Devices Corporation has announced the development of a 2.2-inch amorphous silicon Silicon that does not have a crystalline structure and which is not conductive. Contrast with polysilicon.  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.

 liquid-crystal display (LCD) that is just 1.1 mm thick, making it ideal for use in mobile phones and other portable devices.

The fusion of telecommunications and broadcasting through digitization and the seamless integration An addition of a new application, routine or device that works smoothly with the existing system. It implies that the new feature or program can be installed and used without problems. Contrast with "transparent," which implies that there is no discernible change after installation.  of cable and mobile communication in the network society have raised expectations for the next generation of mobile devices and for the improved convenience that these devices will bring. Consumers are increasingly demanding that small and medium-sized LCDs for mobile devices should have high resolution and be slim and energy efficient. To meet these demands, Sanyo Epson has developed products and technologies based on the concept of supplying clear, user-friendly displays that can be used anytime, anywhere.

As part of its HCL-S strategy ('High quality, Compact design, Low power consumption, System solutions'), Sanyo Epson focused on producing the thinner and lighter components demanded in the mobile devices market to develop an ultra-thin 2.2-inch amorphous TFT LCD, which was designed specifically for use in mobile phones, where the trend toward slimmer devices is especially pronounced.

The Company succeeded in developing this 1.1-mm-thick amorphous TFT LCD by using ultra-thin components, including the backlight back·light

, polarizing plate and glass substrate. By incorporating its proprietary design technology to boost transmissivity, Sanyo Epson was able to achieve high surface brightness of more than 350 candelas per square meter, as well as 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).  (320 x 240 pixel) high definition. These features make the ultra-thin 2.2-inch amorphous silicon LCD ideal for displaying video and receiving "One Seg," a new service in Japan enabling digital TV broadcasts to be viewed on mobile phones.

In addition, the new display is fully compliant with the European Union's RoHS (restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment) Directive. Sanyo Epson intends to commercialize the new display for use in mobile phones and other new applications.

Sanyo Epson will exhibit the ultra-thin 2.2-inch amorphous silicon LCD at FPD (1) (Flat Panel Display) See LCD, plasma display, EL display, FED and flat panel display.
