"Announced Apr. 2005
2.7-Inch LCD for Use in Mobile Terminals
Model No.: NL2432HC17-01B"
Tokyo, April 19, 2005 --- NEC LCD Technologies,
Ltd. today announced that sample shipments of its 2.7-inch (6.8cm
diagonal), quarter video graphic array ("QVGA"), amorphous silicon
thin-film-transistor liquid crystal display ("TFT LCDs"), part
number "NL2432HC17-01B," will commence in June 2005. This model
realizes high contrast, vivid display, and low power consumption
making it ideal for use in mobile terminals.
The main characteristics of the new model are as follows:
-
High Levels of Visibility:
This model achieves a high contrast ratio of 400:1, which is the
highest contrast ratio level in the category of color TFT LCD
modules for mobile terminal use. It realizes this high level of
visibility through the brightness level of 180cd/m2. In
addition, it achieves a quick response time of 25ms, representing
the fastest response time in the category of color TFT LCD modules
for mobile terminal use. It also enables high quality moving
images.
-
Touch Panel-Equipped:
Equipped with a touch panel that rapidly increases its demand for
use in mobile terminals, this model also brings many benefits for
manufacturers of mobile terminal equipment in terms of development
cost and lead time.
-
Low Power Consumption:
This model realizes low power consumption of 220mW, while also
simultaneously boasting a touch panel, high contrast ratio, and
high brightness. Low power consumption is an extremely important
factor for mobile terminals as it contributes to enabling longer
battery life.
Recently, all kinds of terminals are rapidly merging with
cellular phones. This has brought about the birth of a new type of
terminal called "smart phones," which are compound portable
terminals that possess cellular phone and PDA functions.
GPS-enabled portable terminals are now becoming widespread in
Western Europe and North America.
This evolution in mobile terminals has brought with it an extreme
rise in the display of information and images on new and advanced
terminals, which has in turn induced a great demand for LCDs
enabling vivid color display, high visibility, and suppressed power
consumption simultaneously. NEC LCD Technologies has specifically
developed this new 2.7-inch LCD to respond to these new and
emerging needs.
NEC LCD Technologies will continue to commercialize products
boasting high added-value such as those with high picture
performance and high specifications even in the field of small LCD
modules for mobile terminals, aiming to contribute to the evolution
of future mobile devices and the development of new fields.
