NEC LCD Technologies announced the successful development of 10.4-inch (26cm diagonal), amorphous silicon thin-film-transistor (TFT) liquid crystal display (LCD) modules with the world's fastest Motion Picture Response Time (MPRT), a standard promoted by the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA).

Both new models realize the industry's highest motion picture performance.

Recently, the market has seen a rapid increase in the use of LCDs in PC monitors and TVs, which has brought with it a rise in demands from not only these fields but also other target fields of NEC LCD Technologies including broadcasting, medical, measuring instruments and factory automation.

However, issues effecting motion picture performance still remain such as the slowness of the response speed of the liquid crystal itself and the afterimage phenomenon caused by hold-type displays and the characteristics of human vision.

"We chose to develop a 10.4-inch LCD as this is the largest scale required in most industrial fields, and we have every confidence that the dramatic improvement in motion picture performance in both our new XGA and VGA models will guarantee its rapid penetration in the marketplace," said Hidetoshi Usui, department manager in charge of product planning and marketing, NEC LCD Technologies, Ltd.

Both new models will be displayed at FPD International 2005 being held in Pacifico Yokohama, Japan, from October 19 - 21.
