You might not always be in a really hot environment, but when the surface temperature of LCD panels exceeds 75 degrees Celsius, part of the display tends to turn black, requiring a separate UV-blocking film, cooling system and protective glass which means additional costs. Now LG has developed an LCD panel that can display clear images even when its surface temperature exceeds 100 degrees Celsius. The added benefit is that these panels are even cheaper to produce than existing panels and are much brighter than expected. that new 55-inch panel display uses a proprietary liquid crystal structure technology, in-plane switching (IPS) technology, LED backlight and a low reflection rate of under 2 percent, realizing a brightness level of 2000cd/m2, giving your images that can be displayed outdoors that are much brighter and clearer than before. The panel is expected to debut at the China Optoelectronics & Display Expo 2010 on May 8th.

LG Display is first off the blocks among all the other hardware manufacturers to pick up Microsoft’s Windows 7 Touch Logo certification, thanks to its 13.3″ Capacitive In-Cell Multi-Touch LCD panel which targets noetbooks. It is different from your ordinary touchscreen products, since touch sensors are built into the display itself, making it useful for notebooks which are used outdoors frequently since light reflection and brightness declines are eliminated from the process. Mass production of the panel is expected to roll out in the second half of the year.

Japan’s National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technologies (AIST) recently showed off a flexible organic TFT array sheet as well as a flexible LCD panel that comprises of a monochrome polymer network (PN) LCD panel as well as an A4-size organic TFT array sheet. The latter boasts 1,600 x 1,200 resolution, and is touted to be the largest TFT sheet made by using printing technology in the world. While it isn’t suitable for action movies, it ought to be sufficient for e-book readers. No concept on when manufacturers will adopt that in their products though.

AU Optronics, better known as AUO, has come up with a 65″ full HD 3D LCD panel which the company aims to enter volume production sometime in the second half of next year. that is an interesting bit of news, since it would mean the 3D revolution is ready and well positioned to take the world by storm, assuming we have 3D cameras from Sony to play with around next. Chances are 3D LCD displays would only enter the mainstream market in a big way a couple of years from now assuming the public has found some indispensable use for it, otherwise expect a regular 2D LCD panel to work just fine for years to come.

Sharp has a heart for the environment with their hugely successful Eneloop rechargeable batteries alongside their foray into solar-powered vehicles, and that instance round they enhance that image with a high-performance environmentally friendly paint that was developed using discarded glass during LCD panel manufacture. Sharp has plans to use the paint in aluminum parts of LED lighting, which basically means they have further reduced waste during the production run. Heck, they even recycle the glass edges which are discarded in the process of manufacturing. WIth that new eco-friendly paint, the painting process supposedly reduces 2/3 of coating duration and additionally approximately 40% of film thickness which enhances efficiency, helping one save resources and energy.

VESA has recently updated the Embedded DisplayPort Standard to Version 1.1a while drawing up requirements for the Video Interface to the LCD Panel in notebooks as well as various embedded applications.

eDP version 1.1a includes further definition on display authentication for protected video composition, addresses Sink device AUX channel interrupt requests, and makes enhancements to the 4-lane connector used for 3D display applications. eDP is based on the VESA DisplayPort 1.1a Standard. The DisplayPort Standard is oriented toward external applications with emphasis on interoperability amidst system vendors and interconnection cables. Newer PC chipsets and GPUs designed for notebook PCs support both DisplayPort and eDP from the same video port connections, enabling configuration options to the system integrator.

If you’re interested in the Embedded DisplayPort (eDP) Standard, that is available free of charge here. [Press Release]
