"NL6448BC26-08D"
Tokyo, September 13, 2005 --- NEC LCD Technologies, Ltd. today
announced that at the end of October it will begin shipping samples
of its new 8.4-inch (21-centimeters-diagonal) video graphics array
(VGA), amorphous silicon, thin film transistor liquid crystal
display (TFT LCD) module, part number NL6448BC26-08D. This module
features NEC LCD Technologies' proprietary ultra-advanced,
super-fine TFT (UA-SFT) technology, which enables ultra-wide
viewing angles, high luminance, a wide color gamut and high
contrast ratio.
The three key features that distinguish this model are as
follows:
(1)High Luminance and Wide Color Gamut
High luminance of 400cd/m2 and a wide color gamut of 72 percent,
equivalent to that of a cathode-ray tube (CRT), are realized
through NEC LCD Technologies' own unique UA-SFT technology, which
boasts improved panel transmissivity (180 percent from A-SFT
technology, and 120 percent from SA-SFT technology). This LCD
achieves accurate reproduction of clear and vivid color images even
in bright environments.
(2)Ultra-wide viewing angle
UA-SFT technology enables an ultra-wide viewing angle of 170
degrees (contrast ratio greater than 10:1) and reduces the color
and/or contrast shift that can result from a change in viewing
angle. The display is capable of operating in either portrait or
landscape modes thus affording greater flexibility in viewing
positions, installation locations and display usage.
(3)Wide Operating-Temperature Range
A wide operating temperature range, from -10 to +70 degrees
Celsius, guarantees operation in even the most extreme
conditions.
NEC LCD Technologies developed this 8.4-inch VGA TFT LCD module
in response to the increasing demand by customers in a variety of
industrial applications for more cost efficient UA-SFT-based LCDs.
Following the success of NEC's 8.4-inch XGA TFT module (part number
NL10276BC16-01), introduced in July 2003 as the first product
incorporating the UA?SFT technology, NEC decided to apply the
technology to additional display resolutions and sizes to target a
broader range of industrial display applications. This new VGA LCD
features an equivalent brightness level and added energy savings of
approximately 45 percent compared to the XGA model. Moreover, due
to the switch from XGA to VGA, the new module is available at a
lower cost, and its possible areas of use have been broadened due
to an expanded operating temperature.
"Having achieved a more cost efficient 8.4-inch LCD module, we
expect to see a significant increase in their use in LCD devices
and in their fields of use." said Hidetoshi Usui, department
manager in charge of product planning and marketing, NEC LCD
Technologies, Ltd.
NEC LCD Technologies will expand sales promotion of its line-up
of LCDs adopting UA-SFT technology to a variety of industries
requiring higher picture quality, and will continue to develop and
promote top-of-the-line TFT LCD modules that respond to the
emerging needs of a variety of industrial fields.
