NEC LCD Launches Two TFT LCD Modules

(Product News, 1 Nov 2006)

NEC LCD Technologies has announced that it will begin shipping samples of two amorphous silicon, thin-film-transistor (TFT) liquid crystal displays (LCD) at the end of December. The LCDs are suitable for installation in various portable devices such as personal digital assistants (PDAs) and portable GPS terminals as they can reproduce colors clearly and vividly even in indoor/outdoor environments with high ambient light.

The new products comprise of a 3.5-inch (8.9-centimeters-diagonal) quarter video graphics array (QVGA) TFT LCD module, part number NL2432HC22-41B, and a 2.7-inch (6.8-centimeters-diagonal) quarter video graphics array (QVGA) TFT LCD module, part number NL2432HC17-04B.

By further optimization of optical design based on NEC LCD Technologies' own unique super-reflective natural light TFT (SR-NLT) technology, NL2432HC22-41B realizes both a high luminance of 200cd/m2 and a high reflective ratio of 15%. Furthermore, NL2432HC17-04B boasts the highest level of reflective ratio in the category of the transflective LCD modules of the same size and resolution at 35%.

Both LCD modules are equipped with a touch-panel, a timing controller and a DC-DC converter. Consequently, these LCDs offer a range of benefits to manufacturers of portable information devices in terms of development cost, lead time, as well as miniaturization of portable information devices.
