LCD operates in portrait or landscape

NEC Electronics America Inc, a leading supplier of innovative liquid crystal display (LCD) solutions for industrial applications, has announced the availability of samples of the new 8.4-inch (21cm-diagonal) video graphics array, amorphous silicon, thin film transistor liquid crystal display module (NL6448BC26-08D) from NEC LCD Technologies, Ltd.

This module features NEC LCD Technologies' proprietary ultra-advanced, super-fine TFT (UA-SFT) technology that enables ultra-wide viewing angles, high luminance, a wide colour gamut and high contrast ratio.

Three key features distinguish this new model.
• High luminance and wide colour gamut of 72%t, equivalent to that of a CRT are realised with improved panel transmissivity (180% up from advanced SFT technology, and 120 % from super-advanced SFT technology). This LCD achieves accurate reproduction of clear and vivid color images even in bright environments.

• Ultra-wide viewing angle of 170 degrees (contrast ratio greater than 10:1) and reduces the colour and/or contrast shift that can result from a change in viewing angle. The display is capable of operating in either portrait or landscape modes giving flexibility in viewing positions, installation locations and display usage.

• Wide operating-temperature range from -10 to +70 degrees Celsius, guarantees operation in even the most extreme conditions.
Due to the switch from XGA to VGA, the new module is available at a lower cost, and its possible areas of use have been broadened due to an expanded operating temperature.
