New era for TFT‐LCD size and viewing‐angle performance

— Samsung has announced the development of a full-high-definition (1920 × 1080) 82-in. TFT-LCD panel using Super-PVA (S-PVA) technology, the world's largest TFT-LCD. In addition to the size breakthrough, this product achieves 600 nits of brightness, a contrast ratio of over 1200:1, an angle of view of 180°, a color gamut of 92%, and an 8-msec response time. Several key enabling technologies were developed to achieve these specifications, including two-transistor direct-driven independently controlled S-PVA subpixels, non-even-area-ratio subpixels for optimal off-axis gamma, gate overlap driving for larger driving margin, new CCFL technology for higher color gamut, and advanced fabrication techniques including the use of Samsung's new Gen 7 line. Many of these technologies will be applied to other products within Samsung's LCD-TV product line. Samsung's broader development efforts toward the overall LCD-TV market, including production status of the Gen 7 facility, will be updated.
