Sharp Announces Active Matrix Display with Nearly Twice the Brightness of Current Models; 10.4" Display Shines Bright for Kiosks and Factory Automation Applications.CAMAS, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 25, 1995--Sharp Electronics Corp. today announced an active matrix display (hardware) active matrix display - A type of liquid crystal display where each display element (each pixel) includes an active component such as a transistor to maintain its state between scans. Contrast passive matrix display. with a brilliant combination of brightness and wide viewing angle to provide solutions for a variety of display applications including point-of-sale terminals, medical imaging, instrumentation, and factory automation. The LQ10D344 is a 10.4" active matrix color display with 640 x 480 (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 and produces greater than 120 cd/m2 of brightness, nearly twice that of conventional active matrix LCDs and placing it among the brightest commercial 10.4" displays on the market. An anti-glare coating, 262,144 color-palette, and high color The ability to generate 32,768 colors (15 bits) or 65,536 colors (16-bit). 15-bit color uses five bits for each red, green and blue pixel. The 16th bit may be a color, such as XGA with 5-red, 6-green and 5-blue, or be an overlay bit that selects pixels to display over video input. See true color. saturation make it feasible to display color images clearly even in bright ambient light. The LQ10D344 uses two cartridge-type CCFT (Cold Cathode Fluorescent Tube) A type of light source for a backlit screen. Also called a "cold cathode fluorescent lamp," it weighs more and uses more power than other backlights. backlights that are designed for long life and easy replacement. "Combining extraordinary brightness with 70 degree horizontal viewing angle makes this product a great choice for applications requiring viewing at greater than arms length," said Joel Pollack, Sharp's marketing manager for displays. "We expect it to be the preferred choice in a lot of applications such as information kiosks and factory automation," he added.
