NEC Electronics America Expands Portfolio of New Transflective LCD Modules and Strengthens Position as Leading Supplier of Industrial Displays
Four New Transflective Products Ideal for Environments with High Ambient Light
SAN FRANCISCO, Society for Information Display (SID) Symposium, June 6 /-- Today, NEC Electronics America, Inc., a leading supplier of innovative liquid crystal display (LCD) products for industrial applications, announced it has expanded its industrial display portfolio of transflective thin-film transistor (TFT) LCDs to include four new super-transmissive natural light technology (ST-NLT) modules. With the addition of these new modules, NEC Electronics America now offers transflective products ranging in size from 5.5 to 15 inches. Well-suited to environments with high ambient light, the new LCD modules can be used in products such as ruggedized laptop PCs, fish finders, navigation systems, automatic teller machines (ATMs) and kiosks. A total of six transflective modules, including the four new products, will be on display in the company's booth (#718) at SID 2006, demonstrating the company's continued commitment to providing innovative LCD solutions for the industrial market.
"NEC Electronics America continues to distinguish itself as a leader in the industrial TFT- LCD module market, providing reliable, high-quality products and advanced display technologies that will enable the development of next-generation LCDs," said Shigehiko Satoh, Ph.D., associate vice president and general manager, display strategic business unit, NEC Electronics America. "The new products have been optimized to meet the industry's growing demand for high-performance display modules that can operate in a wide range of challenging viewing and temperature environments."
ST-NLT Technologies
NEC Electronics America is one of the few LCD module suppliers to offer transflective displays in a variety of resolutions and in sizes ranging from 5.5 to 15.0 inches (exclusive of its mobile LCD modules). NEC LCD Technologies' super-transmissive natural light technology (ST-NLT) provides high-contrast images in a wide color reproduction range for applications that operate in both indoor and outdoor environments. The technology uses a high-luminance backlight as a light source and minimizes the surface reflection of outdoor light. NEC Electronics America is announcing four new products ranging from 8.4 to 15.0 inches in this category. The new LCD modules feature wide viewing film, with horizontal viewing angles of 80/80 and vertical viewing angles of 80/60, an extended temperature rating up to -20 to 70 degrees Celsius, and a total response time of 25 milliseconds (ms). Among this group is the largest LCD module to incorporate NEC LCD Technologies' ST-NLT technology -- a 15-inch transflective module with an 18 ms response time, one of the largest transflective displays offered by any TFT-LCD manufacturer.
