New LCD Technology By Omron? (Oct 17 2003 05:00 GMT) - "Omron Corporation has developed a new manufacturing technique for building liquid crystal display (LCD) frontlights that promises to make LCDs brighter than ever before. Conventionally, LCDs have been lit by Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) in one of two ways - through a 'frontlight' method or through a 'backlit' approach. The problem is that while frontlight methods offer low power consumption, LCDs lit that way have a relatively low contrast too. Backlit methods on the other hand, offer a high contrast display but have a higher power consumption. Omron engineers solved this dichotomy by combining a micro prism array with a nano prism array into the frontlight assembly of the LCD itself. |
