Original Press Release:
NEC Electronics America Expands Lineup of Displays for Medical Imaging with Two New 21.3-Inch LCD Modules
Modules Deliver High Luminance, High Contrast and Ultra-Wide Viewing Angles
SANTA CLARA, Calif., Jan. 22 /-- NEC Electronics America, Inc. today introduced two new 21.3-inch (54-centimeters diagonal) amorphous-silicon thin-film transistor (TFT) liquid-crystal display (LCD) modules for medical imaging applications. The new color display modules represent the first application of NEC LCD Technologies' proprietary ultra-advanced, super-fine TFT (UA-SFT) display technology in a 21.3-inch LCD. Combined with NEC LCD Technologies' newly designed high-intensity direct-backlight system, the modules achieve very high luminance levels, high contrast ratios, high brightness uniformity and ultra-wide viewing angles.
"These new modules fulfill the increasingly complex and sophisticated display needs of the medical community by delivering superior performance and the hard-to-achieve precise image quality needed for x-ray interpretation and medical diagnosis," said Dr. Shigehiko Satoh, associate vice president and general manager, displays strategic business unit, NEC Electronics America.
High Luminance, Contrast
The new LCD modules deliver high luminance levels for their respective resolutions. The NL160120AC27-20 module features ultra-extended graphics array (UXGA) resolution and a brightness level of 950 candelas per square meter (cd/m(2)), while the NL204153AC21-09 module has higher-density quad-extended graphics array (QXGA) resolution and a brightness level of 800 cd/m(2).
With UA-SFT technology, the new modules achieve a 20 percent improvement in light transmittance compared to modules based on super-advanced, super-fine TFT (SA-SFT) technology. Both modules also support monochrome image interpretation as a result of their precise reproduction of grayscale images.
Enhanced panel design combined with UA-SFT technology help prevent light leakage and image and color distortion, thereby improving viewability of the display from almost any angle. As a result, the NL160120AC27-20 and NL204153AC21-09 modules achieve high contrast ratios of 800:1 and 750:1, respectively. The panel design also inhibits the "washed-out black" phenomenon that occurs when the viewing angle is enlarged -- a common issue with in-plane switching-type LCD modules.
