News 24 May 2007 - NEC Electronics (Europe) GmbH

NEC LCD Technologies, along with its sales and marketing channels in the Americas and Europe, NEC Electronics America and NEC Electronics (Europe) GmbH, today introduced a new 6.5-inch amorphous-silicon thin-film-transistor (TFT) liquid crystal display (LCD) module with high luminance and extended graphics array (XGA) resolution. The module, part number NL10276BC13-01C, eliminates the need for an inverter circuit by employing a white light emitting diode (LED) for backlight instead of the cold-cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL) that is traditionally used. This innovation produces low power consumption and a slim design that, while lightweight, is highly resistant to vibration and impact, making it ideal for use in portable display systems in industrial applications. Featuring NEC LCD Technologies’ proprietary super-transmissive natural light TFT (ST-NLT) technology, the module is able to display vivid colors in environments with high ambient light, resulting in high reliability and excellent visibility in a variety of situations. Furthermore, because LED backlights are free of mercury, the new NEC module is more environmentally friendly than modules using CCFL backlights.

“To help customers overcome the design challenges associated with industrial display systems and to address the demand for thinner display modules that consume less power and are more environmentally friendly, we are now developing LCD modules with white LED-based backlight systems,” said Masaaki Hiroshima, Product Planning Department Manager, NEC LCD Technologies. “For the new 6.5-inch XGA module, we have capitalized on the benefits of white LED technology by coupling it with transflective ST-NLT technology to yield a robust, yet slim and lightweight display that achieves clarity in many lighting conditions.”

In addition to the 6.5-inch module, NEC LCD Technologies also offers a new 15.3-inch color LCD module, part number NL12876BC26-25, with wide XGA (WXGA) resolution. Both products will be showcased in NEC Electronics America’s booth #1235 at the Society for Information Display (SID) Symposium 2007 in Long Beach, California, May 22-24.
