Samsung develops LED-backlit LCD panel for monitors

Samsung Electronics will begin producing a 24in LCD panel with an LED backlight that enables computer monitors to deliver color quality resembling that of the highest-quality TV sets available today.

With the new 24in LCD monitor display, professional graphics designers and digital photographers will enjoy the same true-to-life colors that premium LCD TVs can provide. The LED-backlit monitor panel has a color saturation level of 111 percent (of NTSC standard) compared to a saturation level of only 72 percent of NTSC for conventional monitors, and will satisfy consumers accustomed to the crisp colors prevalent in HD broadcasting.

The new monitor display also features Samsung’s S-PVA (Super Patterned-ITO Vertical Alignment) technology that provides a 180-degree viewing angle, at a contrast ratio greater than 1000:1. It also supports WUXGA resolution (1920 x 1200 pixels), which is the computer equivalent to full HD resolution.

The new display’s backlight is environmentally friendly because of the LED backlights that do not use mercury, an environmentally harmful substance.
