LCD modules go lead free ahead of schedule
All Hitachi LCD modules produced since 1st April 2003 have been manufactured using lead-free solder.
This is achieved by combining an IPS LCD featuring high picture quality and a wide viewing angle with glass (0.2t) and thin-film optical waveguide.
Hitachi Europe has developed various technologies, including high definition (VGA) and low power consumption technologies for its IPS LCDs, with a high picture quality to meet the increasing mobile TV applications and a thinner module.
Sample shipment of the product is scheduled for November 2006.
IPS technology is a horizontally charging LCD technology that functions differently to conventional TFT LCDs.
Hitachi, unveiled IPS technology in 1995, and it has been used in commercial applications since 1996, evolving into Super-IPS, Advanced-Super IPS and IPS-Pro.
Liquid crystal molecules rotate parallel to the TFT substrate when a charge is applied horizontally.
This simple movement of molecules produces superior performance in terms of viewing angle, colour reproductivity and response speed to halftones.
IPS technology has been used for large 32in LCD television sets manufactured by Hitachi and Matsushita Electrical Industry.
The picture quality of these sets is rated very highly.
