Display panel can project wide-screen video from handheld device

Fabricated using ferroelectric-liquid-crystal-on-silicon (FLCOS) technology, the MT7DPWQ2J-A1SES wide-screen, quarter VGA (WQVGA) Microdisplay panel enables portable video/image projection in applications such as embedded cell phone projectors and head-mounted displays. Using an LED-based light source, the panel can project highly saturated, crisp images that are readable in normal indoor ambient-light conditions.

Using a field-sequential-color (RGB) scheme that produces full color on each of its 392 x 224 13.5 x 13.5-μm pixels, the unit incorporates the 0.24-in.-diagonal display panel and control circuitry in a 15.2 x 11.3 x 3.8-mm package that consumes only 85 mW total, Use of ferroelectric technology produces switching speed up to 100 times faster than traditional LCOS technology, while vertical pixel interpolation increases perceived resolution.

The display has 58% optical reflectivity, a 60-Hz frame rate (360-Hz RGB field rate), and a contrast ratio of 100:1. Through a 25-pin female flex connector, the interfaces supported by the module include RGB serial (8-bit data, Hsync, Vsync, valid, clock) and Digital CCIR 601 and 656 formats. Both NTSC and PAL formats are supported.

The module works from 2.5- and 5-V supplies over a –10° to 70°C range. (About $10 ea / prod qty — samples available now; prod qty 3rd qtr.)
