At the end of October 2005, NEC Electronics Europe and NEC LCD Technologies will begin shipping samples of an 8.4in video graphics array (VGA), amorphous silicon, thin film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT LCD) module This module, part number NL6448BC26-08D, features NEC LCD Technologies' proprietary ultra-advanced, super-fine TFT (UA-SFT) technology, which enables ultra-wide viewing angles, high luminance, a wide colour gamut and high contrast ratio

High luminance of 400cd/m2 and a wide colour gamut of 72%, equivalent to that of a cathode-ray tube (CRT), are realised through NEC LCD Technologies' own unique UA-SFT technology, which boasts improved panel transmissivity (180% from A-SFT technology, and 120% from SA-SFT technology).

This LCD achieves accurate reproduction of clear and vivid colour images even in bright environments.

UA-SFT technology enables an ultra-wide viewing angle of 170 degrees (contrast ratio greater than 10:1) and reduces the colour and/or contrast shift that can result from a change in viewing angle.

The display is capable of operating in either portrait or landscape modes thus affording greater flexibility in viewing positions, installation locations and display usage.

A wide operating temperature range, from 10C to +70C guarantees operation in even the most extreme conditions.

NEC LCD Technologies developed this 8.4in VGA TFT LCD module in response to the increasing demand by customers in a variety of industrial applications for more cost efficient UA-SFT-based LCDs.

Following the success of NEC's 8.4in XGA TFT module (part number NL10276BC16-01), introduced in July 2003 as the first product incorporating the UA-SFT technology, NEC decided to apply the technology to additional display resolutions and sizes to target a broader range of industrial display applications.

This new VGA LCD features an equivalent brightness level and added energy savings of approximately 45%, compared with the XGA model.

Moreover, because of the switch from XGA to VGA, the new module is available at a lower cost, and its possible areas of use have been broadened through an expanded operating temperature.

"Having achieved a more cost efficient 8.4in LCD module, we expect to see a significant increase in their use in LCD devices and in their fields of use", said Hidetoshi Usui, Department Manager in charge of product planning and marketing, NEC LCD Technologies.

NEC LCD Technologies will expand the sales promotion of its line-up of LCDs adopting UA-SFT technology to a variety of industries requiring higher picture quality, and will continue to develop and promote TFT LCD modules that respond to the emerging needs of a variety of industrial fields.
