NEC Electronics America introduced four new amorphous-silicon TFT LCD modules. The new LCD modules features NEC’s ST-NLT (super-transmissive natural light TFT) technology. NEC’s new TFT LCD modules include two VGA resolution 10.4-inch modules and XGA resolution 15-inch & 12.1-inch modules. The new LCD modules are suited for use in vending machines, point-of-sale (POS) and automated teller and ticket machines.

ST-NLT technology boosts the efficiency of the backlight's light utilization while minimizing the surface reflection of ambient light. The result is a transmissive display that features a wider color reproduction range than reflective LCDs and yields high contrast images even in bright outdoor light. NEC LCD Technologies has aggressively expanded its ST-NLT-based LCD modules in response to the demand for LCD modules that can display vibrant colors, even in extremely bright outside light.

Dr. Shigehiko Satoh, NEC Electronics America, said about these new LCD modules:

NEC's innovative ST-NLT technology allows us to provide premium products to our customers in the Americas, and we believe these four new models will boost our competitive edge in a market of ever-increasing and diversified needs…

We have seen strong customer demand for sunlight-readable displays in a growing number of applications, especially in the industrial market where conventional display technologies fall short…

NEC Electronics America currently offers nine ST-NLT products in a range of sizes, from a 5.5-inch LCD module with quarter video graphics array (QVGA) resolution to a 15-inch LCD module with XGA resolution.

Three of the new ST-NLT LCD modules and other sunlight-readable display modules will be showcased at Society for Information Display (SID) Symposium 2007 in Long Beach, California
