Announced Aug. 2005
12.1-Inch LCD enabling vivid color display
Model No.: NL8060BC31-32
Tokyo, August 05, 2005--- NEC LCD Technologies, Ltd. today
announced that on August 8 it will begin shipping samples of its
new 12.1-inch (31-centimeters-diagonal) super video graphics array
(SVGA), amorphous silicon, thin film transistor liquid crystal
display (TFT LCD) module, part number NL8060BC31-32. This module
features NEC LCD Technologies' proprietary super-transmissive
natural light TFT (ST-NLT) technology, which enables display of
vivid colors in environments with high ambient light.
The three key features that distinguish this model are as
follows:
(1) High Visibility
High luminance of 400 cd/m?, high contrast of 600:1 and low
levels of reflectivity on the screen surface enable a variety of
information and pictures to be reproduced in clear and vivid color,
even in high ambient light conditions.
(2) Wide Operating-Temperature Range
A wide operating temperature range, from -10 to +70 degrees
Celsius, guarantees operation in even the most extreme
conditions.
(3) Compatibility
As with most LCD modules in NEC's standard industrial lineup,
backward compatibility with its predecessors with respect to outer
dimensions, position of mounting holes, and center of the screen
enables the new module to be replaced easily-without the need for
changing any peripheral appliances due to interface
incompatibility.
NEC LCD Technologies developed the 12.1-inch LCD module in
response to the increasing demand for new ST-NLT-based LCDs in a
variety of sizes and resolutions, a demand that arose as a result
of the success of the company's 5.5-inch LCD module (part number
NL3224BC35-22), the first LCD to be equipped with ST-NLT
technology.
"Following the excellent reception of the 5.5-inch
ST-NLT-equipped LCD module, we have decided to launch a 12.1-inch
model in response to increasing market demand for ST-NLT technology
in a variety of LCD devices." said Hidetoshi Usui, department
manager in charge of product planning and marketing, NEC LCD
Technologies, Ltd. "This product will enable display devices to be
designed into automatic vending machines, automatic ticketing
machines and kiosk terminals placed in outdoor locations." NEC LCD
Technologies will continue to enhance its line-up of LCDs adopting
ST-NLT technology for a variety of industrial applications and a
range of environmental conditions.
* Attached are the main specifications of the new 12.1-inch LCD
module.
