(iTers News) - Japan Display Inc. , or JDI has developed a second generation of  cutting-edge display technology - a 8-inch 4K in-vehicle display. 

The 8-inch 4K UHD display is a consummation of its three key technologies - "WhiteMagic", "Pixel Eyes" and "IPS-NEO" to provide enhanced visibility and user-friendliness. JDI will offer it for both mobile device and automotive applications.

JDI has developed a 4K2K-ready display so small it can easily be held in one hand. 4K2K display technology is a next-generation high-definition standard for offering clear images. It also supports features required by mobile applications - namely, low power consumption, a light and thin body and a slim border, meaning that most of the front face is devoted to the screen.

In addition, it has a finger touch function upgraded to enable smooth entry with a one-millimeter fine stylus or brush. These features have been achieved thanks to JDI’s original low temperature poly-silicon, or LTPS technology, "IPS-NEO" that has widened the color reproduction range to 95% of NTSC, "WhiteMagic" that has been advanced through the local dimming backlight, and "Pixel Eyes" which has high resolution capabilities.

A display for next-generation automobile cockpits

JDI offers a display for next-generation automobile cockpits that increases flexibility for both interior design and displayed content to assist drivers by integrating the instrument cluster and the head-up display. For the instrument cluster, the curved "IPS-NEO" provides displays that are easily viewable to drivers. The upgraded "WhiteMagic" achieves both a large high-definition screen and low-power consumption. In a safe head-up display that can be viewed without turning the eyes, a larger display area with increased resolution leads to the extension of data display.

Other new development like ultra-low power consumption reflective-type LCD modules and sheet OLED displays  will be presented, too.

＊2 The backlight can be controlled more efficiently by dimming LEDs in tune with displayed images.

＊3 Development of the sheet OLED display has been implemented with subsidies from NEDO (New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization). [/sws_toggle1]
