NEC-Mitsubishi Electronics Display Demonstrates Advances

Posted on: Tuesday, 4 May 2004, 06:00 CDT

SEATTLE, May 4 /PRNewswire/ -- NEC-Mitsubishi Electronics Display of America, Inc., the number one stand-alone vendor of flat panel desktop displays, today announced that it has introduced a high-end wide gamut CRT monitor and two LED backlight LCD display prototypes at the 13th annual Windows(R) Hardware Engineering Conference (WinHEC) 2004.

NEC-Mitsubishi Electronics Display has furthered the range and depth of CRT display color reproduction with its new wide gamut professional level 22-inch (20-inch viewable image size) Mitsubishi Diamondtron UWG RDF225WG display, which is available immediately. With improved CRT phosphor, the new model extends the color space to 97.6 percent of Adobe(R) RGB for more accurate, consistent and repeatable color performance compared to conventional CRT displays that cover only 70 percent of this industry standard. While the displays are ideal for imaging professionals, there is also a growing consumer demand due to increasing adoption of digital cameras and color printers.

"NEC-Mitsubishi has worked closely with professionals in printing, DTP and color-proofing industries to design and manufacture a new breed of CRT and LCD displays based on their needs for consistent color reproduction across all digital platforms and devices from the point of acquisition to delivery," said Kevin Christopherson, senior product manager from NEC-Mitsubishi Electronics Display of America, Inc. "By meeting the needs of one of the most demanding user groups we have once again raised the level of display performance for the industry, which will ultimately benefit all our customers."

Committed to standardizing LCD colors and brightness, NEC-Mitsubishi Electronics Display has also introduced prototypes of its first 21.3-inch UXGA LED backlight LCD monitor, which will be available in the fall, and 23-inch WUXGA LED backlight LCD engineering sample. The company will demonstrate at WinHEC how the high accuracy color calibration systems minimize color shifts using NEC's Super Advanced Super Fine TFT (SA-SFT) panel technology with innovative light guide systems and color filters. To comply with the Adobe(R) RGB color space, the prototypes utilize LED backlight technology from Lumileds Lighting powered by a Luxeon DCC light source that emits saturated red, green, and blue light resulting in an enhanced color spectrum.

"The introduction of NEC-Mitsubishi's latest products is a significant milestone for the desktop display industry and will dramatically improve the computing experience for many customers," said Tom Phillips, general manager, Windows Hardware Experience Group at Microsoft Corporation. "We are extremely proud of our work together with NEC-Mitsubishi, as well as their new displays that take advantage of several innovations within the Microsoft Windows platform to improve the quality and the performance of both screen and paper output."
