VIT technology also helps shorten the total development period for LCDs. The circuits in regular LCD panels, including the TFT drive circuit, are realized through LSI chips. However, standard lead time to work with a chip company to develop new specialized LSI chips is approximately 8 to 10 months － a large setback in the timely commercialization of LCDs incorporating the latest functions and specifications.
If LSIs can be formed directly on glass substrates, then the development period for new LCDs can be significantly reduced since it is no longer necessary to develop new LSI chips.
VIT technology allows direct formation of LSIs on glass substrates for more timely response to specific customer requests, which are becoming more diversified.

VIT is an abbreviation for Value Integrated TFT.
