NEC LCD Technologies Announces New 22.5-inch LCD Module That Supports the Full High-Definition Format
TOKYO & SANTA CLARA, Calif. & DUESSELDORF, Germany--(Business Wire)--
NEC LCD Technologies, together with its sales and marketing
channels in the Americas and Europe, NEC Electronics America and NEC
Electronics (Europe) GmbH, today introduced a new 22.5-inch (57
centimeters diagonal) amorphous-silicon thin-film-transistor (TFT)
liquid crystal display (LCD) module, part number NL192120AC25-02, with
wide ultra-extended graphics array (WUXGA) resolution. The new module
boasts excellent picture quality, ideal for preview monitoring and
verification use in broadcast stations and post-production studios,
thanks to full high-definition (1920 x 1080) resolution, high
luminance of 460 candelas per square meter (cd/m(2)), a wide color
gamut of 97% (NTSC ratio) and a double frame rate of 120 Hertz to
improve motion picture performance.
The main characteristics of the module are as follows.
1. High level of color reproducibility
NEC LCD Technologies' proprietary ultra-advanced, super-fine TFT
(UA-SFT) technology boasting high transmissivity achieves high
luminance of 460 cd/m(2) and a wide color gamut of 97% (NTSC ratio).
In addition, a 10-bit source driver enables the module to provide 1024
grayscale steps per each of the primary colors (RGB), thus realizing
1073 million colors per pixel. The module attains a higher color
resolution than specified by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU)
standard, the de-facto standard for broadcast applications, and hence
produces higher-quality images.
2. Support for improvement of motion picture performance
Using a double frame rate of 120 Hz, the LCD module can be used by
customers in equipment such as high-performance motion picture
monitors to improve motion picture performance using black frame rate
insertion, or interframe interpolation.
3. Ultra-wide viewing angle
UA-SFT technology also enables an ultra-wide viewing angle of 176
degrees and reduces the color shift problem that occurs due to a
change in viewing angle. Allowing greater flexibility in terms of
display placement and viewing position, the module is also suitable
for multi-screen use.
"The introduction of the new 22.5-inch high-definition LCD is
further evidence of NEC LCD Technologies' longstanding dedication to
providing advanced display solutions that meet the sophisticated
requirements for high-end monitor applications such as
high-performance motion picture monitors," said Hidetoshi Usui,
department manager in charge of product planning and marketing, NEC
LCD Technologies, Ltd. "
In addition to the new 22.5-inch LCD module, NEC LCD Technologies
also offers a new 19.0-inch color TFT LCD module, part number
NL128102BC29-10, with super-extended graphics array (SXGA) resolution.
Both products will be displayed at Display 2008, April 16-18 at Tokyo
Big Sight, Japan, and SID 2008, May 20-22 at the Los Angeles
Convention Center, USA.
