New 19inch wide TFT display
ideal for medical imaging applications
Hitachi Europe Ltd, Display Products Group (DPG)
has announced the introduction of a new 19inch 1.7MegaPixel
WSXGA+ TFT display module. The new TX48D21VM0CAA
display implements the latest evolution of Hitachi’s
In-Plane-Switching technology, IPS-Pro, which provides
a stable colour image from any viewing angle, excellent
colour saturation and a very high contrast ratio.
Demand for wide viewing angle and wide field of
vision displays has increased in high performance
monitoring equipment. Medical imaging applications
such as ultrasonic based diagnostic and computed
tomography (CT) scanning systems require highly consistent
optical performance and accurate image reproduction.
Contrast and colour characteristics must be maintained
over a wide range of viewing angles/positions. When
viewed from an acute angle, a conventional TFT display
will exhibit a loss of brightness and display image
colours become inverted. In certain applications
this performance limitation is not critical; a laptop
pc where the user is situated perpendicular to the
TFT display. In medical diagnostic imaging systems
however the image viewed by one doctor or consultant
could be different to the representation seen by
a second viewing consultant in an alternative viewing
position. Hitachi’s IPS-Pro TFT technology
overcomes the limitations of conventional TFT display
technology.
The new TX48D21VM0CAA display modules joins Hitachi’s
existing 17inch SXGA and 21.3inch UXGA IPS-Pro TFT
displays that are targeted at high performance medical
applications. “Customers in professional markets
can benefit from the high contrast and wide viewing
angles achieved by IPS-Pro technology. For applications
where absolute image quality is paramount these displays
deliver unparalleled performance,” says Steve
Donohoe, Technical Manager for Hitachi Display Products
Group “The new TX48D21 display offers excellent
colour saturation with a very high contrast ratio.
The black level of the new display combined with
improved transmittance helps to provide a contrast
ratio of 900:1.”
The superior performance of IPS-Pro technology also
enables the 17inch, 19inch and 21.3inch displays
to be used in a wide range of high-end, multi-viewer
applications which demand high optical performance.
All models are ideally suited for use in public information
displays, security surveillance, video monitoring
and many other high end industrial applications.
The 19inch WSXGA+ TX48D21VM0CAA features a resolution
of 1680 x 1050 pixels, a contrast ratio of 900:1
and brightness of 300cd/m². The LVDS input signal
interface enables up to 16.7M colours to be displayed.
The new display module has outline dimensions of
444mm (w) x 300mm (h) x 24.0mm (d) and weighs in
at 2900g.
The IPS-Pro technology used in the TX48D21 display
ensures viewing angles of 170 degrees in both horizontal
and vertical planes, without significant reduction
in contrast. The TX48D21 features a long-lifetime
CCFL backlighting unit.
The new TX48D21VM0CAA display is sampling now and
scheduled for mass production in Q1/2009. For more
