NEC LCD Introduces TFT LCD Modules with White LEDs for Industrial Applications

NEC LCD Technologies has announced two amorphous-silicon thin-film-transistor (TFT) LCD modules incorporating white LED backlights for industrial applications. The modules are said to consume less power, and be substantially thinner and lighter than comparable LCD modules incorporating cold-cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL) backlights.

The 10.4-inch (26cm-diagonal) module, the NL10276BC20-12, with extended graphics array (XGA) resolution, and the 8.9-inch (23cm-diagonal) module, the NL10260BC19-01D, with wide super-video graphics array (WSVGA), are claimed to offer numerous benefits over conventional CCFL products.

These modules with LED backlights have advantages which include durability for industrial use and design optimization that yield a more than 40% reduction in module thickness, greater than 50% reduction in weight and approximately 50% savings in power consumption compared with CCFL based LCD equivalents. Each model features a wide operating temperature range of -20 to +70 degree, a replaceable LED backlight unit and long-term product support.

These two models meet customer requirements for industrial equipment that include display devices featuring larger screens and higher resolution, in addition to compact size, lighter weight and reduced power consumption.
