HANNOVER, GERMANY, March 11, 2002-LG.Philips LCD Co., Ltd., a leading innovator of liquid crystal display (LCD) technology, will showcase a new array of wide-format ("W" for 16:10 or 16:9 wide-aspect ratio displays) thin-film transistor (TFT)-LCDs for monitor, LCD TV and other applications at CeBIT 2002, to be held March 13-20 in Hannover, Germany. Specifically, LG.Philips LCD will be demonstrating its impressive new line-up-The 17W, the 23W and the 30W TFT-LCD modules.

According to Bruce Berkoff, LG.Philips LCD's executive vice president of marketing, the industry has witnessed an increased demand from OEMs for wide-format LCDs for both monitors and HDTVs, based on the increased viewing benefits and capabilities they provide. "LG.Philips LCD is committed to accommodating this rising demand, and, with our technology leadership and substantial manufacturing capabilities, we are well-positioned to capitalize on the expanding market potential of wide aspect LCDs,"noted Berkoff.

LG.Philips LCD will be featuring the following display modules at the show:

17W WXGA for Desktop Monitors and PCTVs:

LG.Philips LCD's new 17W display is designed for new wide-monitor formats, all-in-one PCs and personal-computer TV (PCTV) applications. This wide-format display offers WXGA resolution of 1280 x 768, 65-percent color saturation, 400cd/m2 brightness and a response time of 25 ms. Furthermore, it is extremely thin (16.2 mm) and weighs only 1,900 grams.

23W for Monitors and HDTVs:

The 23W TFT-LCD, designed for monitors and HDTVs, is a WUXGA (1920 x 1200) model, offering a wide viewing angle of 160 degrees in all directions-reducing gray scale inversions and ensuring color integrity, regardless of the viewer's position. The 23W's slim design (only 25mm thick) requires less workspace, while the display itself consumes less power, emits lower electromagnetic radiation and lessens end-user eyestrain, compared to a CRT-based solution of similar resolution and size. In addition, the 23W can fit into the footprint of many existing 22-inch monitor designs, significantly reducing the system integration costs for OEMs.

30W WXGA for HDTVs:

In an effort to meet the OEM demands for standardized LCD TV sizes, LG.Philips LCD will also demonstrate the 30W TFT-LCD for today's HDTV market. The 30W boasts an impressive wide viewing angle of 170 degrees in all directions, brightness of 450 cd/m2 and a WXGA resolution of 1280 x 768. In addition to its large screen size and slim form factor (46 mm), this display offers a high contrast ratio (450:1) and aspect ratio of 16:9.6.
