NEC LCD Technologies, Ltd. today announced that it will begin successive shipment of four new amorphous silicon thin-film-transistor (TFT) liquid crystal display (LCD) samples by the end of April 2007. The new products comprise of a 15.0-inch extended graphics array (XGA) TFT LCD module, a 12.1-inch extended graphics array (XGA) TFT LCD module, and two 10.4-inch video graphics array (VGA) TFT LCD modules. All four new LCD modules feature NEC LCD Technologies’ proprietary super-transmissive natural light TFT (ST-NLT) technology that achieves display of vivid colors in environments with high ambient light. In addition, the models support wide operating temperature ranges of either -10 degrees Celsius to +70 degrees Celsius or -20 degrees Celsius to +70 degrees Celsius.
These new and enhanced features make the new NEC models ideal for installation in automated teller machines, automated ticket machines, automatic vending machines, and point-of-sales systems for gas stations. All of the new models will be displayed at Display 2007, which is being held from April 11-13 in Tokyo Big Sight, Japan.
