Japan Display has announced the development of the first 17.3-inch high resolution (7,680 x RGB x 4,320 pixels), fast response (120Hz) liquid crystal display module, the same size as the standard monitor commonly used for the video image production.
The LCD module, based on low temperature poly-silicon (LTPS) technology with true 8K pixels (RGB stripe arrangement), displays high definition images at 510ppi, and its 120Hz frame rate enables smooth playback of video.
This next-generation 8K technology suits not only products for video image production, but also medical monitors as well as gaming PC monitors.
The display module will be exhibited in the NHK/JEITA booth on October 7 - 10, 2015 during CEATEC JAPAN 2015 held at Makuhari Messe, Japan, in collaboration with NHK.
