NEC today introduced two new 5.7-inch (15 centimeters diagonal) amorphous-silicon thin-film -transistor (TFT) liquid crystal display (LCD) modules with video graphics array (VGA) resolution. These new modules are the latest additions to NEC LCD Technologies' lineup of LCD modules featuring white LED backlight systems. The NL6448BC18-01 module is a standard model with brightness of 400 candelas per square meter (cd/m 2), and the NL6448BC18-01F module is a high-luminance model with brightness of 800 cd/m 2. The new modules have wide viewing angles of 160 degrees both horizontally and vertically, a high contrast ratio of 1000:1 and a fast response time of 18 milliseconds. These features enable information to be reproduced on screen quickly, precisely and without visual stress to the user.

Designed for diverse industrial display applications, the two new modules feature a white LED backlight system, low power consumption, and a slim -line package that, while lightweight, is highly resistant to shock and vibration.
