NEC LCD Technologies, (Santa Clara, Calif.) together with its sales and marketing channels in the Americas and Europe, NEC Electronics America and NEC Electronics (Europe) GmbH, today introduced a new 7.0-inch (18 centimeters diagonal) amorphous-silicon thin-film-transistor (TFT) liquid crystal display (LCD) module, part number NL8048BC19-02, with wide video graphics array (WVGA) resolution.

The new module is an enhancement to NEC's lineup of LCD modules featuring white LED backlight systems, a lineup that was launched May 2007 with NEC's 6.5-inch LCD module, part number NL10276BC13-01C. Equipped with a long-life (approximately fifty thousand hours) white LED as the light source for its backlight system, the new 7.0-inch module has a longer life span than modules equipped with conventional white LED backlight systems. In addition to its low power consumption, the new module comes in a slim-line package that, while lightweight, is highly resistant to shock and vibration. Moreover, the module has been designed with wide-format resolution to meet the rising demand for such in various industrial applications.

The main characteristics of the module are: long-life white LED backlight system; high levels of visibility and wide operating-temperature range
NEC LCD Technologies will continue to enhance its lineup of LCD modules featuring white LED-based backlight systems to address the needs of a variety of industrial applications. www.nec-lcd.com
