Higher LCD performance in a small package
Historically, small-sized LCD modules, ranging in sizes from 1.x-inch to 4.x-inch, have been used in consumer electronic
applications such as digital cameras, cell phones and portable media players. Products within this space change frequently
as consumers demand more sophisticated, feature-rich products.Thus, within the consumer space, the displays that go into
these products rapidly become obsolete. Due to this rapid product turnover in the consumer space and the rapid obsoles-
cence of LCD modules designed for the consumer market, medical and industrial applications have been slower to adopt
portable handheld equipment designed to use small-sized LCD displays.
NLTTechnologies, Ltd. (NLT) has leveraged its experience with mid- to large-sized LCD modules designed for medical
and industrial applications and applied their knowledge of the market requirements to the design of small-sizedTFT LCD
modules. NLT offers a variety of small-size amorphous silicon (a-Si)TFT LCD products as well as low-temperature poly-
silicon (LTPS)TFT LCD products specifically for use in portable industrial and medical applications. NLT’s product offerings
are designed for applications requiring robust feature sets and long-term product support.
Amorphous Silicon (A-Si) Mobile Displays
LCD modules used for industrial-type mobile applications must meet very specific
design constraints and provide high levels of brightness and contrast required to
clearly display information and facilitate easy reading in multiple ambient-light
environments. Our small-sized LCD modules address these market demands with
high luminance levels and contrast ratios, optimized designs and advanced
features that contribute to significantly reduced form factors in portable devices.
Low-temperature Polysilicon (LTPS) Mobile Displays
With the addition of the LTPS displays to its product offerings, NLT expanded its
core technologies to include value-integratedTFT (VIT™) technology. By applying
its VIT technology, which integrates peripheral circuitry on the glass substrate of
the LCD module using LTPS technology, NLTTechnologies, Ltd. achieves a signifi-
cant reduction in the peripheral wiring of the glass substrate and in the number
of connections with external circuits.This results in pixel density that is four times
higher than that of conventional 3.5-inch quarter VGA (QVGA) modules, making
the new module ideal for a wide variety of portable devices, including personal
digital assistants (PDAs) and navigation devices.The VIT technology on the
system-on-glass module also significantly improves pixel aperture ratio and back-
light efficiency while yielding an overall higher level of balance among attributes.
