High luminance and wide color gamut are both essential elements in achieving high LCD image quality. Until recently, however, one was possible only at the expense of the other(*1).
Now, NEC LCD Technologies offers users both high luminance and wide color gamut in every LCD we produce － and the improved color performance that goes with them. The key breakthrough came as a result of the improved transmissivity, achieved by our SFT technology.
The results are impressive. Our SA-SFTs offer the same high level of luminance as our A-SFTs, but with a 72% NTSC ratio color gamut － or about the same as conventional CRT displays. What’s more, our UASFTs take that one step further. They maintain the 72% NTSC ratio, while featuring 120% higher luminance than the SA-SFTs － for clear, vivid color reproduction that stands up to the toughest professional applications.

(*1) Colors can be generated with color filters in conventional LCDs other than field sequential formula types. While using a color filter with high color purity will extend the color reproduction range (color gamut), it will also reduce the level of luminance. Conversely, using a color filter with high transmissivity will enhance luminance while causing color reproduction to deteriorate. (The format that gives highest priority to luminance is monochrome displays.)

NEC LCD Technologies has upgraded its technical specifications around its IPS(*2) ultra-wide viewing technology and is continually making technology innovations with the aim of producing the perfect high-definition liquid crystal displays.
