NEC LCD Technologies today introduced a new 3.5-inch (8.9cm) amorphous-silicon transflective thin-film-transistor (TFT) liquid crystal display (LCD) module with quarter video graphics array (QVGA) resolution. The new 3.5-Inch LCD Module- NL2432HC22-45A incorporates NEC’s proprietary SR-NLT technologies and newly optimized panel design. The new product has a high reflection ratio of 16 percent and a contrast ratio of 20:1 in reflective mode. The module also achieves improved viewing angle characteristics in reflective mode by diffusing reflection for wide-angle viewing. This allows for high visibility with the backlight turned off, whether under strong light conditions, such as outdoor daylight viewing, as well as indoor ambient light conditions.

The display is targeted for use in small, professional applications such as handheld terminals, as well as in personal digital assistant (PDA) and portable navigation device (PND) applications.
