21.3-Inch UXGA LCD for Medical Use
Model No.: NL160120AM27-06/06A & NL160120AC27-05
Tokyo, April 15, 2004 --- NEC LCD Technologies
, Ltd. today announced that sample shipments of 2
kinds of its new 21.3-inch (54cm diagonal), ultra-extended graphic
array (UXGA), amorphous silicon thin-film-transistor liquid crystal
displays ("TFT LCDs"), part numbers “NL160120AC27-05” and
“NL160120AM27-06/06A”, will commence at the end of April
2005. These models are particularly suited to use in the
medical field.
The main characteristics of the new models are as follows:
1.
NL160120AC27-05
A) High Luminance
The combination of NEC LCD Technologies' own unique super-advanced,
super-fine TFT ("SA-SFT") technology, and a high-intensity, direct,
back-light system achieve a brightness of 450cd/m 2 ,
the highest brightness level in the UXGA and above class of color
TFT LCDs. This color LCD module boasts enough brightness to be
utilized for radiogram interpretation and can be used for a
combination of purposes including image diagnosis requiring
high-brightness and smooth grey-scale, and viewing of picture
archiving and communication systems (“PACS”) that require use of a
color screen in order to display various images from a range of
medical tests and instruments such as endoscopes, ophthalmoscopy,
and ultrasound equipment.
B) High Color
Separation
This module is equipped with a switchable 10-bit internal
look-up-table (“LUT”), which makes it possible to customize
gray-scale setting, enabling selection of the most suitable 16.77
million colors out of 1.06 billion.
C) Wide Viewing Angle
SA-SFT technology, which is based on an in-plane switching (“IPS”)
mode, fulfills the vital prerequisites of medical image diagnosis
on LCD monitors by enabling an ultra-wide viewing angle of 170
degrees (contrast ratio greater than 10:1) and reducing the color
and/or contrast shift problem that occurs due to a change in
viewing angle. It also allows stable color display with
little, if any, influence on viewing angle difference for
multi-screen use.

NL160120AM27-06/06A
A) High Luminance
The combination of NEC LCD Technologies' own unique super-advanced,
super-fine TFT ("SA-SFT") technology, and a high-intensity, direct,
back-light system achieve a brightness of 1800cd/m 2 ,
the highest brightness level in the UXGA and above color
class. This brightness level is exceeded in the case of image
diagnosis with X-ray film on a light box. In addition, if the
level of brightness is suppressed, stable brightness levels can be
preserved over a long period of time.
B) High Grade Grey-Scale
Performance
Each pixel consists of three sub-pixels, and each sub-pixel
controls 256 grey-scales individually. In addition, the LCD
module is equipped with a switchable 10-bit internal LUT, which
makes it possible to customize gray-scale setting. This model
thus enables selection of the most suitable 766 grey-scales per
pixel out of 3,061 grey-scales, and also achieves smooth adjustment
of gamma characteristics.
C) Wide Viewing Angl
e
SA-SFT technology, which is based on an in-plane switching (“IPS”)
mode, fulfills the vital prerequisites of medical image diagnosis
on LCD monitors by enabling an ultra-wide viewing angle of 170
degrees (contrast ratio greater than 10:1) and reducing the gamma
shift problem that occurs due to a change in viewing angle. It also
allows stable color display with little, if any, influence on
viewing angle difference for multi-screen use.
Recently, the use of LCD devices in the medical field has spread
rapidly. Our LCD modules equipped with our proprietary SFT
technology, which enables reproduction of high quality images and
an ultra-wide viewing angle, are enjoying high acclaim in the
medical field having been adopted widely by many medical equipment
manufacturers worldwide.
NEC LCD Technologies has responded to these needs by expanding its
line-up of monochrome and color LCDs, and will continue to develop
advanced technologies to meet the greater and more sophisticated
needs of its customers in a variety of fields worldwide.
