Aim of Sale
In recent years, TFT-LCD modules have come to be widely used in a variety of environments and applications. In particular, there is growing demand for displays that show a large amount of information on one screen in kiosk applications such as ticket sales, photo printing and digital signage. Demand has increased for mercury-free, longer life LED backlights that do not require a high-voltage inverter with safety and noise-reduction measures as an alternative solution to the cold cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL) backlight.
Mitsubishi Electric offers 18 types of LCD modules with varying sizes and resolutions, of which 17 models have been released with LED-type backlights. Mitsubishi Electric plans to soon develop a 17.0-inch SXGA module with LED backlight to complete its LED backlight product offering.
