NEC LCD Technologies Announces New 15.3-Inch LCD Module for High-end Broadcasting and Video Production Display Applications

TOKYO & SANTA CLARA, Calif. & DÜSSELDORF, Germany--(Business Wire)--
NEC LCD Technologies, and its sales and marketing channels in the Americas and
Europe, NEC Electronics America, Inc. and NEC Electronics (Europe) GmbH, today
announced a new 15.3-inch amorphous-silicon thin-film-transistor (TFT) liquid
crystal display (LCD) module with wide extended graphics array (WXGA) resolution
of 1280 x 768 pixels, part number NL12876BC26-28. The module incorporates NEC
LCD Technologies` ultra-advanced, super-fine TFT (UA-SFT) technology, a
proprietary version of in-plane switching technology; a display featuring
superior color reproduction; and wide viewing angles that are required for
broadcasting and video production display uses as well as other industrial
display applications.

Key benefits of NEC LCD Technologies` new 15.3-inch WXGA module with UA-SFT
technology are:

(1)Excellent Image Quality

NEC LCD Technologies has enhanced the module`s transmissivity to achieve 330
cd/m2 luminance, and a 1000:1 contrast ratio that results from reduction in
light leakage in the panel, which yields higher intensity in "black color," and
an LCD that achieves a wide color gamut, 72 percent of NTSC ratio, all of which
are beneficial for confirming video images in broadcasting and video production.

(2)Ultra-wide Viewing Angle

The company`s UA-SFT technology affords the display an ultra-wide viewing angle
of 176 degrees both horizontally and vertically and reduces the color shift that
can occur when viewing the display from an off-angle. These features result in
greater flexibility in display placement and viewing position, which make the
module suitable for multi-screen use.

(3)Wide Format

The new WXGA LCD module has a wide format of 1280 x 768 pixels that is
compatible with high-definition television standards.

Production studios, video editing rooms, broadcasting stations and video
production companies typically use multiple, medium-size monitors to display
images and information from multiple cameras and video tape recorders (VTRs).
The monitors may be used to confirm and create images, in addition to switching
cameras, throughout the video editing process. The company`s new 15.3-inch LCD
module is ideally suited for these professional uses as well as many other
industrial display applications.

Introduction of the new 15.3-inch module further expands NEC LCD Technologies`
UA-SFT and wide-format product offerings and reflects the company`s ongoing
commitment to develop and manufacture LCD modules that address the unique
requirements of industrial display applications. The new display is currently
available for sampling and mass production. (Pricing and availability are
subject to change without notice.)

The new LCD module will be showcased in NEC Electronics America`s booth (#459)
at the Society of Information Display (SID) Display Week 2009 at the Henry B.
Gonzalez Convention Center in San Antonio, Texas, June 2-4. More information
