Seoul, Korea (May 18, 2010) – LG Display Co., Ltd. [NYSE:LPL, KRX:034220], a leading innovator of thin-film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) technology, announced it has developed a full HD 21.5-inch LCD monitor panel featuring optical touch technology.The panel not only boasts the advantages of capacitive touch technology, which features light and soft touch, but also possesses strength of resistive touch technology, which is high accuracy. Accordingly, the panel senses almost all types of objects in addition to fingers, such as pens and even fingernails.Optical touch panel has infrared ray sensors placed around the panel edge which recognizes the touch of a finger or other input devices. The technology is appropriate for multi-touch and can be applied to large panels at minimal added cost.The 21.5-inch LCD monitor touch panel developed by LG Display is the first panel to have three infrared ray sensors, as opposed to two found in currently available optical touch panels. The result is significantly enhanced touch performance. The product demonstrates more than 95% accuracy, whether the screen is touched with a 3mm ballpoint pen or the multi-touch feature is used to zoom in, zoom out or rotate images.With existing optical touch LCD panels, the infrared ray sensor is placed on a separate glass before being attached to the LCD module. In contrast, the latest product from LG Display has a simplified structure in which the sensor is embedded in the LCD module. As a result, luminance is enhanced by 10%, panel weight is lowered by 1 kilogram, and the bezel is just 11 millimeters wide (down by 45%) and 20 millimeters thick (down by 20%), thereby enabling better picture quality with slim and compact design.Reflective of its superior technology, the product is the first monitor panel with touch function to receive Windows 7 Touch Logo certification. Mass production of the Full HD 21.5-inch LCD monitor touch panel is scheduled to begin in the third quarter.LG Display CTO, Dr In Jae Chung said, "Touch accuracy and enhanced performance are vital for expansion of the touch panel market. The optical touch panel developed by LG Display responds to market needs by delivering world leading touch performance. Demand for touch panels is gradually expanding from small mobile gadgets to larger devices. LG Display will lead the market trends by expanding the touch function to IT applications such as notebook PCs and monitors."LG Display 21.5-inch full HD optical touch LCD monitor panelPhoto: Company
Toshiba Mobile Display has developed an OCB (optically compensated bend) LCD panel for 3D glasses for watching 3D television, enjoying 3D movies, or playing 3D games.A 3D image is created by providing slightly different images to your left and right eyes. There are two methods of separating a picture into left and right images: one uses special glasses, and the other is without glasses, called auto-stereoscopy. The with-glasses approach is applied to movies and TV, and there are two primary methods: one uses polarizing filters, and the other is based on time division. This new LCD panel employs the latter time-based, with-glasses approach.In the time-division with-glasses method, images for the left and right eyes appear alternately, with the special glasses working as a synchronous shutter. That is, when the left image appears, the left liquid crystal shutter opens while the right shutter closes. When the right image appears the right shutter opens while the left shutter closes. Repeating this operation at high speed allows the user to synthesize the left and right images in their brain and to recognize them as a 3D image.If the right image is sensed by the left eye, or if the left image is sensed by the right eye, double vision occurs which is called 3D crosstalk. This phenomenon degrades the quality of the resulting image and causes eye fatigue.In this new LCD panel, suitable for application in a pair of glasses, TMD has used OCB technology to achieve both high-speed response and a wide viewing angle while maintaining high contrast, the company said. Glasses adopting these panels feature high-speed shutter opening and closing, yielding a significant reduction in 3D crosstalk. In addition, the wide viewing angle provides vivid 3D images across a wide field of view, such as in movie theaters and living rooms. Glasses adopting these panels would allow the viewer to enjoy high-quality 3D images in comfort with minimized fatigue when watching TV, viewing a movie, or playing a game for a long time.Toshiba America Electronics Components, Inc. will showcase this display in booth #631 at SID 2010 International Symposium, Seminar, and Exhibition, from May 25 to May 27, 2010, in Seattle, Washington, USA.TMD OCB LCD panel for 3D glassesPhoto: Company
