Visit Booth #835 at SID 2011 for Highlights on 3D, Touch, On-Cell and LED Backlighting Technologies from NEC LCD Technologies

May 16, 2011

SANTA CLARA, Calif., May 16, 2011 -- Renesas Electronics America Inc., together with NEC LCD Technologies, Ltd. (NLT), today announced they will showcase a full lineup of innovative LCD technologies during Society for Information Display’s Display Week 2011 event, May 15-20 (exhibits May 17-19), at the Los Angeles Convention Center. Throughout the week in booth #835, the companies will highlight 28 LCD modules, ranging from 3.5 inches to 21.3 inches, and optimized for a variety of applications, including industrial/test and measurement, medical and gaming systems.

The companies also announced this week new 7.2-inch 3D display modules for use in industrial display applications, and new transflective color TFT LCD modules for use in industrial applications and applications requiring indoor and outdoor viewability.

Demonstrations Showcase Technology and Product Innovations

Renesas Electronics America’s LCD module lineup at Display Week 2011 will highlight display technologies for emerging segments such as 3D, touch panel and color enhancements, as well as transflective technologies designed to deliver improved viewing in any type of ambient lighting environment. With LCD panels ranging in size from small to large, NLT and Renesas Electronics America continue to deliver industry-leading design expertise combined with superior product and business support for industries such as medical and industrial/automation, where product reliability and total cost of ownership are critical.

Emerging technologies—3D, ColorXcell, and on-cell touch

In addition to its 3D display innovation, NEC LCD Technologies has developed ColorXcell technology, an integrated color-enhancement technology that delivers color reproduction that is comparable in color intensity to the original video source, without tint or color variance and with minimal increase in power consumption. Demonstrations will feature:

  • 8 new 3D LCD panels ranging from 3.1 to 7.2 inches, including a 7.2-inch 3D MP LCD with LED and CCFL backlighting
  • 8.4-inch SVGA and 12.1-inch WXGA LCD modules with ColorXcell technology
  • Multiple touch panel display modules, ranging from 3.5 to 10.4 inches, highlighting on-cell, glass-on-glass, and resistive and capacitive touch technologies

Transflective LCD modules optimized for multiple ambient-light environments

NEC LCD Technologies’ super-reflective-NLT (SR-NLT) technology leverages displays’ reflective properties and ambient light as the primary light source, thereby reducing power consumption for battery-operated mobile industrial and medical applications. The company’s super-transmissive (ST-NLT) technology boosts the efficiency of the LCD panel backlight utilization and minimizes the surface reflection of ambient light--resulting in higher contrast and vibrant color image reproduction, even in bright outdoor lighting. Demonstrations will feature:

  • 5 SR-NLT LCD panels ranging from 3.5 to 4.3 inches, offered in multiple resolutions including VGA, QVGA and WQVGA
  • A trio of ST-NLT VGA LCD panels ranging from 3.5 inches up to 4.3 inches
  • 6.5-inch and 10.4-inch SR-NLT LCD panels—the first SR-NLT displays offered by NLT and Renesas Electronics America in the mid- to large-size range to go to mass production

LCD modules with long-life LED backlight systems

Designers working with portable and often battery-operated devices require reduced power consumption levels, energy efficiency, and long-life support. To support these demands, Renesas Electronics America offers a variety of LCD modules, in both small- and medium-size panels, with integrated white and/or RGB backlighting systems. Demonstrations will feature:

  • 11 mid-size LCD modules ranging from 5.7 inches up to 15 inches, offered in multiple resolutions, including XGA, WXGA, VGA, SVGA and WVGA
  • 2M and 3M color 21.3-inch LCD panels with LED backlighting, which are currently under development with NEC LCD Technologies
  • A trio of mid-size LED backlit LCD panels featuring the company’s super-fine TFT (SFT) technology, which provides high-quality moving images, high luminance and a wide gamut of clear, vivid colors--key for devices used in medical systems where precision is critical for the accurate diagnosis of medical conditions

Poster Presentations at SID 2011

Representatives from NEC LCD Technologies will present three poster presentations on Thursday, May 19, from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. in the West Exhibit Hall B of the Los Angeles Convention Center. Topics include:

  • A High-Resolution Multi-View 2D/3D Display with HxDP Arrangement and Its Optical Characterization, by Koji Shigemura
  • Analysis of Temperature Dependence of 3D Viewing Space for Autostereoscopic Display, by Wu Di
  • Novel Lenticular-Lens Fabrication Method on Glass by Using Ink-Jet Printer, by Jin Matsushima
