First 7.7-inch low-temp polysilicon LCD for eBooks
Toshiba today announced commercialisation of a 7.7-in low-temperature polysilicon TFT LCD designed for mid-size electronic book devices incorporating Microsoft ClearType display technology
Samples will be available in the second quarter of this year and mass production will start in the third quarter.
Ahead of that, Toshiba will start shipping 8Gbyte samples from this month, and start mass production in the second quarter.
The new 16Gbyte chip integrates eight 2Gbyte NAND chips fabricated with Toshiba's cutting-edge 56nm process technology, along with a controller chip, in a standard small size package.
The new embedded memory offers advantages that realise a versatile, easily applied solution: the largest capacity yet achieved in this product category will bring new capabilities to mobile consumer products; integration of a dedicated controller reduces product development burdens on product manufacturers; and full compliance with the MMCA Version 4.2 high speed memory standard for memory cards, as defined by the MultiMediaCard Association, supports standard interfacing and simplified embedding in products.
Toshiba will launch a series of embedded NAND Flash memories based on the new technology, ranging from 1 to 16Gbyte in capacity.
This wide lineup of eMMC products, will allow the new chips application in a wide range of products.
There is growing demand for memories with a controller function that minimises development requirements and eases integration into system designs.
Toshiba has responded with products such as the LBA-NAND memory, which incorporates basic control function for NAND application, and GB-NAND, a large capacity chip with SD interface.
Adding the eMMC-compliant lineup to its portfolio will assure Toshiba's continued leadership in this expanding market.
