New 2.7-inch LCD module from Soanar

4.3-inch colour TFT LCD module
NEC LCD Technologies will begin shipping samples of its new low-temperature polysilicon (LTPS) TFT LCD module, part number NL9654HL06-01J, at the end of July 2008.
The new LCD module has a high pixel density of 413 pixels per inch in a small-size direct view LCD.
The new module, available from Soanar , supports quarter high-definition (QHD) resolution of 960 x 540 pixels, which is compatible with full high-definition (HD) resolution, has a compact size of 2.7 inches and achieves both a wide colour gamut of 70% (NTSC ratio) and high luminance of 300 candelas per square meter (cd/m2).
When incorporated in the viewfinder of a video camcorder for professional broadcast use, the new module enables highly accurate adjustment of focus. In addition, the module can be used to check colours through the viewfinder, without the need for external monitors.
The main characteristics of the module include the following:
High pixel density
NEC LCD Technologies has integrated peripheral circuits, including a gate driver, onto the TFT-LCD module’s glass substrate, thereby reducing peripheral wiring and the number of connections to external circuits. The LCD module has a high pixel density of 413 pixels per inch.
High-definition image reproduction
Even at its compact size of 2.7 inches, the new module supports QHD resolution of 960 ´ 540, which is compatible with full HD resolution of 1920 ´ 1080 pixels. As a result, the module achieves resolution high enough to be used in a viewfinder of a full HD video camcorder for highly accurate adjustment of focus.
Wide colour gamut
The module’s wide colour gamut of 70% (NTSC ratio) is almost equivalent to the colour space specified by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) standard, the de-facto standard in broadcast fields, and enables colours to be checked through a viewfinder equipped with the module.
In addition to the new 2.7-inch LCD module, NEC LCD Technologies also introduced three new modules:
- 4.3-inch colour TFT LCD module, part number NL4827HC19-05A, with wide quarter video graphics array (WQVGA) resolution and high luminance of 600 cd/m2
- 3.5-inch colour TFT LCD module, part number NL4864HL11-02A, with video graphics array (VGA) resolution and high luminance and high transmissivity realised through the combination of NEC LCD Technologies’ unique value-integrated TFT (VIT) technology and super-transmissive natural-light (ST-NLT) technology
- 2.7-inch colour TFT LCD module, part number NL2432HC17-07B, with quarter video graphics array (QVGA) resolution and high luminance of 500 cd/m2
