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.
