Japan Display today announced mass production start of the world’s first Pixel Eyes 5.0-inch Full-HD (1,080 x 1,920 pixels) TFT LCD module. Pixel Eyes is JDI’s proprietary in-cell integrated touch functionality. Japan Display’s unique touch controller drive system realizes a high touch sensitivity under various operating environments, including stylus pens, to ensure touch usability. Integration of the touch functionality into the LCD eliminates the need for an external touch panel. The configuration also reduces module thickness.
Since Pixel Eyes does not require an external touch panel, the configuration reduces optical reflections at the component surface boundary interfaces and improves visibility. For the same reason, transmittance is increased compared to conventional modules with external touch panels , contributing to an increase in module brightness. Mass production of Pixel Eyes has already been available in resolution formats of VGA+ (720 x 480 pixels), FWVGA (854 x 480 pixels), qHD (540 x 960 pixels) and 720HD (720 x 1280 pixels). The new 5.0-inch Full-HD module expands the Pixel Eyes line-up.
