NEC LCD Technologies Announces New 2.7-inch LCD Module Boasting
an Exceptionally High Pixel Density
TOKYO, SANTA CLARA, Calif., U.S.A., April 21, 2008 – NEC LCD Technologies, together
with its sales and marketing channel in the Americas, NEC Electronics America Inc.,
today announced that it will begin shipping samples of its new low-temperature
polysilicon (LTPS) thin-film-transistor (TFT) liquid crystal display (LCD) module, part
number NL9654HL06-01J, at the end of July 2008. The new LCD module boasts an
exceptionally high pixel density of 413 pixels per inch in a small-size direct view LCD.
The new module supports quarter high-definition (QHD) resolution of 960 × 540 pixels,
which is compatible with full high-definition (HD) resolution, has a compact size of 2.7
inches (6.8 centimeters diagonal), and achieves both a wide color gamut of 70 percent
(NTSC ratio) and high luminance of 300 candelas per square meter (cd/m
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 colors through the viewfinder, without the need for external monitors.
The main characteristics of the module include:
1. High pixel density
NEC LC D 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.
2. 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.
3. Wide color gamut
The module's wide color gamut of 70 percent (NTSC ratio) is almost equivalent to the
color space specified by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) standard, the de-facto
standard in broadcast fields, and enables colors 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:
1) 4.3-inch (8.9 cm diagonal) color TFT LCD module, part number NL4827HC19-05A,
with wide quarter video graphics array (WQVGA) resolution and high luminance of 600
cd/m
2) 3.5-inch (8.9 cm diagonal) color TFT LCD module, part number NL4864HL11-02A,
with video graphics array (VGA) resolution and high luminance and high transmissivity
realized through the combination of NEC LCD Technologies' unique value-integrated TFT
(VIT) technology and super-transmissive natural-light (ST-NLT) technology
