NEC Electronics America Enhances Industrial Mobile TFT LCD Lineup with Three New 2.7-Inch Offerings
High-Luminance Modules Optimized for Compact Systems
SANTA CLARA, Calif., April 30 -- NEC Electronics America, Inc. today announced the expansion of its portfolio of thin-film transistor (TFT) liquid crystal display (LCD) modules for mobile applications with the introduction of three new 2.7-inch (6.8-centimeters-diagonal) quarter video graphic array (QVGA) amorphous silicon, TFT color LCD modules. The new NL2432HC17-07A module offers high luminance of 550 candelas per square meter (cd/m2) and a high contrast ratio of 400:1 making the module suitable for many handheld applications. LCD module developer and manufacturer, NEC LCD Technologies, has optimized the module design to achieve a slim profile of 2.6 millimeters (mm) thick, breaking the 3 mm barrier. With integrated features such as a timing controller and DC/DC converter, the new module benefits system manufacturers by reducing their development costs and time to market.
NEC Electronics America is also introducing two additional color 2.7-inch LCD modules. The transflective QVGA NL2432HC17-04A module features NEC LCD Technologies' super-reflective natural light technology (SR-NLT), high reflectivity of 35 percent, a contrast ratio of 150:1 and luminance of 140 cd/m2. The transmissive NL2432HC17-05B module has QVGA resolution, high luminance of 350 cd/m2 and a contrast ratio of 400:1. All three of the new products are part of NEC Electronics America's growing portfolio of small- sized LCD modules designed to display information clearly in a variety of mobile industrial products, such as handheld bar code scanners and handheld ordering terminals.
"LCD modules used for industrial-type mobile applications must meet very specific design constraints and provide the high levels of brightness and contrast required to clearly display information and facilitate easy reading in multiple ambient light environments," said Dr. Shigehiko Satoh, associate vice president and general manager, displays strategic business unit, NEC Electronics America. "Our new small-sized LCD modules address these market demands with high luminance levels and contrast ratios, optimized designs and advanced features that contribute to significantly reduced form factors in portable devices."
Two of the three new 2.7-inch modules (the NL2432HC17-07A and NL2432HC17- 04A) will be on display at Society for Information Display (SID) Symposium 2007 in Long Beach, California in NEC Electronics America's booth #1234, along with several other display modules for mobile applications, including a prototype for a 3.5-inch display module with ultra-advanced, super-fine TFT (UA-SFT) VGA resolution and a 4.3-inch LCD module with wide QVGA (WQVGA) resolution that incorporates both super-advanced SFT (SA-SFT) technology and SR-NLT technology.
