Flat-Panel Displays


Fujitsu was the first supplier to deliver multiple full-color flat-panel displays for diverse markets. Fujitsu's product line includes color plasma-display panels (PDPs); color, thin-film-transistor, liquid-crystal displays (TFT-LCD); and front LCD projection systems. These technologies are used in a wide range of applications, including the PC, medical, industrial and financial markets.

FMI was the first to announce the commercial availability of a 21 inch, full-color PDP. This is the largest color PDP currently in volume production. Fujitsu also introduced a 42 inch panel in 1995, a predecessor to the High-Definition Television (HDTV) screens expected before the end of the decade. The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is currently using more than 1,000 of the 21 inch panels as overhead displays for the trading floor. The panels, which are an integral part of the Stock Exchange's introduction of advanced technology, effectively double the number of overhead displays. Because the panels have a wide viewing angle of more than 140 degrees, information can be viewed off-axis without distortion.

Additionally, FMI offers six l0.4 inch color LCD modules that address portable and non-portable applications in markets such as personal computers, medical instrumentation and industrial control. Two models, the FLC26VGC3W and FLC26VGC3W, have a wide viewing angle of 120 degrees. Fujitsu uses a proprietary double-domain technology to attain this expanded angle of visibility. The company's new LCD projector system delivers bright, VGA-class images in a wide range of projected screen sizes. The product, which is designed for multimedia business presentations, allows the user to run either video or still presentations from a PC or Apple Macintosh ® computer.

In the future, Fujitsu plans to develop panels with larger screen sizes, higher information content, better resolution and lower power consumption to address an even broader range of applications.
