ULTIMICRON

Ultra-Compact color display with supreme definition and vividness

ULTIMICRON -HTPS TFT Color Liquid Crystal Panel for Electronic Viewfinders

Full color display in a single compact, high definition HTPS panel
--The ULTIMICRON series--
An expanding lineup of high resolution, high image quality, and small size panels.

Achieving Industry-Leading Image Quality

No.1 High Image Quality in the business.

A single panel,full color,high image quality micro display realized through the application of the No.1 device technology in the projector industry.

Applications for HTPS

- HTPS panels developed for 3LCD projectors

HTPS panels have traditionally been used in Epson's market leading projectors for business and the home.

3LCD projection system

- HTPS panels developed for EVF (Electronic View Finder)

The new panels will be used in a range of exciting applications, starting with electronic view finders for cameras and camcorders.

-2. No color breakup

In EVFs that utilize the field sequential method RGB colors are displayed in an alternating pattern, so when the camera is moved quickly or images are taken of moving subjects, the color breakup phenomenon can occur.

With the color filter method used by the ULTIMICRON EVF, this phenomenon can never happens. Even when following moving subjects, images remain smooth and natural.

Better Color Filter System than Field Sequential Color System

Color breakup is a phenomenon that occurs in displays using the field color sequential system. When an observer's eyes move rapidly relative to the display screen, the R, G, and B images will not fall on the same location on the retina. This can result in color breakup, or "the rainbow effect".

-3. Detailed gradation

 

The analog drive used in LCDs can realize smooth gray scale representation, which is not possible with digital driving, enabling natural defocusing effects on the display.

No.1 High Image Quality in the business.

This ability is vital when dealing with landscape images, for example, which rely on beautiful and natural gradation.
