Japan“s Toshiba Corporation announced that it has reinforced its leadership in high-resolution low-temperature polysilicon TFT LCDs by bringing 1,600 x 1,200 UXGA resolution to a 10.4-inch display. In a recent company press release, Toshiba said the new LCD achieves an unmatched 0.132-millimetre dot pitch and a density of 192 pixels per inch (PPI), producing images matching those found in high quality printed materials. The new 10.4-inch display is positioned to bring a new level of display performance to B5-sized notebook PCs, with UXGA resolution that surpasses that of standard desktop monitors to offer an image quality comparable with colour photographs. The new LCD can display a 2-million-plus image taken with a digital still camera without any reduction in the resolution level. The report said that low-temperature polysilicon TFT LCDs bring brighter, higher resolution images to mobile personal equipment than any other commercialized display, thanks to use of crystallized silicon that allows electrons to pass transistors with much greater mobility than in amorphous silicon TFT. It added that their display panels are also significantly smaller, as the display drive circuits can be formed directly on to the display“s glass substrate, reducing peripheral pin connections by 95%. The new 10.4-inch UXGA display joins 4-inch VGA and 6.3 XGA displays in Toshiba“s 200 PPI series, while it also retains design compatibility with earlier SVGA and XGA 10.4-inch displays, and will be commercialized in October 2000 at a sample price of 150,000 yen.
