NEC has developed a 2.7" touchscreen with QVGA (320 x 240) resolution, planned for use o­n smartphones and similar devices.



NEC LCD Technology has developed a 2.7" QVGA LCD that features a touchscreen by default, aimed at smartphones and PDAs. Sample shipments will begin in June for the cost of 9,000 yen.

This is an amorphous silicon color touchscreen TFT LCD (translator's note: that's a lot of adjectives) capable of displaying QVGA resolutions (320 x 240) in about 2.7 inches. While it retains a low power consumption of 220mW, it has a high contrast ratio of 400:1 and a brightness of about 180cd/square meter. Since it has a 25ms response time, the company says, it could also be applied for video uses.

NEC plans o­n offering this product for smartphones increasing in popularity inf Europe and America, as well as multifunction PDAs.
