. . Transflective 3.0-Type High-Resolution VGA TFT LCD Panel for Digital Still Cameras Features Multi-Interface Support ACX561AKA The ACX561AKA is an LCD panel for digital still cameras that responds to the needs for even greater functionality due to the increasing popularity of the digital still camera. The ACX561AKA is a 3.0-type VGA LCD panel that uses COG technology to support multiple interfaces. In addition to the high picture quality of 270 ppi, the ACX561AKA also achieves high contrast, a wide viewing angle, rapid response, and a wide NTSC 70% color gamut. Furthermore, it is a transflective mode display that can be seen clearly even outdoors.

This product is based on Sony’s unique low-temperature polycrystalline silicon TFT technology. It is capable of a high 5.3% transmittance at a reflectivity of 1.8% and achieves high-performance specifications. (See table 1.) Digital Interface The ACX561AKA features a single-chip driver IC built into the panel using COG mounting technology and can display 16.77 million colors. In addition to this digital 24-bit RGB interface, it also supports a wide variety of other interface formats as well. (See table 2.) High Contrast and Wide Viewing Angle This panel adopts Sony’s unique VSPEC IITM wide viewing angle technology, which improves the viewing angle provided by VSPECTM even further. This panel achieves a viewing angle of 160° at high contrast (CR ≥ 10) and with no color reversals in the up/down and/or left/right directions, and thus can be viewed easily from any direction. (See table 3.) Wide Color Gamut The transmissive mode’s color gamut has been significantly improved from the current NTSC ratio of 45% to an NTSC ratio of 70%. This allows the ACX561AKA to provide colors that are even closer to those in nature. (See figure 1.) Fast Response While a wide viewing angle was achieved by adopting VSPEC IITM, the response time was also improved in the ACX561AKA. Process technology and a drive method that support high-speed response were adopted and the response time was improved by approximately 30% even at low temperatures. (See figure 2.) Narrow Frame System Display Despite the high resolution VGA display capability, the ACX561AKA holds the frame dimensions to an absolute minimum by the adoption of an RGB selector circuit (see figure 3) and improvements to the COG/FOG*1 mounting technologies. It thus achieves specifications appropriate for narrow frame designs such as digital still cameras. (See figure 4.) *1 COG: Chip On Glass FOG: FPC On Glass     •••• Mr. Shimizu •••• This is a transflective mode LCD panel that achieves the high resolution of 270 ppi in a 3.0-type VGA display. The pixel size is at the limit of human visual acuity and it produces gorgeous images far superior to other LCD systems. I strongly recommend this display for use in high-end digital still cameras and other applications that require superb picture quality. See all articles with figures and tables. Vol.50
