On November 15, 2011, Sony, Hitachi, and Toshiba agreed to the integration of their small and medium size liquid crystal display (LCD) panel businesses in conjunction with the Innovation Network Corporation of Japan (INCJ).[1] The merged businesses will be known as Japan Display. INCJ will be the largest shareholder of Japan Display Inc., with 70% stake in exchange for a $2.6 billion investment. That leaves Toshiba, Hitachi and Sony with a 10% share each, the stakes originating from their respective small and medium-sized display subsidiaries. The new entity is expected to start operating in the spring of 2012 and expected to be the world's largest LCD maker.[2]
JDI will focus on small- and medium-sized displays for a range of applications from mobile devices and other consumer products to automotive electronics and industrial equipment. JDI aims to establish distribution companies in the U.S., Europe, South Korea, China and Taiwan, so that through close communication with customers it can provide products that will fully satisfy their needs. JDI will also actively conduct research and development into next-generation panel technology such as OLED displays.
Panasonic has also announced in a separate deal that it has agreed to sell a LCD panel factory to Japan Display. That plant, which is located in Mobara, currently turns out 600,000 LCD TVs a month. Japan Display is expected to take over it in April next year. The factory sale will be completed in April 2012.[3]
TOKYO, June 4, 2012, Japan Display Inc. (JDI) (President: Shuichi Otsuka), a leading provider of LCD technology, today announced that it has developed a world-class liquid crystal display (LCD) in the direct-view panel field that features a resolution of 651ppi*1 (RGB pixel pitch: 39μm*3). Although the screen size is only 2.3-inches, the resolution format of the display is 1,280 × 800 pixels (WXGA), which is comparable to those used in typical notebook PCs. From another perspective, the resolution format of the newly-developed display is nearly twice the resolution of today’s high-resolution smart phone displays.
Today’s advanced communication capabilities have made operating systems more functional, enabling the construction of large-capacity, high-speed wireless communication infrastructures. Accordingly, display screens used in information processing, such as used in smartphones and tablets, need to display a large amount of information on a single screen and provide realistic, high-quality images.
In response to this growing requirement, the resolution of this newly developed display is about twice as high as that of smartphone displays of the highest resolution that are being currently manufactured by JDI. The new JDI ultra-high definition LCD with 651ppi resolution enables realistic and high-quality images that are comparable to film-based photographs. Furthermore, when compared to low-resolution displays that are hindered by jagged lines and characters, this ultra-high resolution display enables exceptionally clear lines, letters and characters approaching typographic quality levels.
JDI has conducted an ergonomic study to evaluate the benefits this high resolution screen may have for the human visual perception system. Based on our study of the sensory evaluation of letters appearing on this screen very good results were achieved, which confirm that an ultra-high-definition display with 651ppi has utility as a man-machine interface*2.
JDI will present this product and part of the evaluation results during the Session 64.1 at the Society for Information Display’s (SID) Display Week 2012, an international conference and exhibition, to be held June 3 – 8, 2012, at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center (BCEC) in Boston, Massachusetts, USA.
