Making use of the high performance IPS-Pro technology to attain high transmittance and wide viewing angle, we have developed a liquid crystal module with both thinness and high image quality.
We applied that technology to achieve the world's thinnest liquid crystal TV (35 mm thick), contributing to development of the Wooo UT Series ultra-thin LCD TV to the product stage.
The Hitachi Research Laboratories and the business division cooperated to develop an ultra-thin LCD module, power unit, and ventilation system and an innovative frame structure to achieve an ultra-thin LCD TV. The thinness and completely flat back side design realizes a free-layout liquid crystal TV. We applied the backlight optical design technology that we have cultivated to establish ultra-thin technology by introducing a new type of diffuser and reflector and to reduce the number of fluorescent lamps needed.
High-performance IPS-Pro technology
As a result, we achieved an ultra-thin backlight that is 10 mm or less thick (less than half of previous model in thickness). We also developed the IPS-Pro system, whose high contrast ratio and wide viewing angle technology makes it possible to achieve both thinness and high image quality.
