GVision Unveiled World ‘s First LCD Monitor with Low Temperature Polysilicon technology.

GVISION has announced that it will exhibit at Comdex Fall 2000 one of the world’s first 10.4” high resolution XGA (1024 x768) LCD monitor-PANX based on the latest LTPS (Low Temperature Polysilicon) panel technology. Gvision indicates that PANX is designed for system integrators in specific appliances instead of PC displays for mainstream users.

The PANX utilizes a 10.4 inch Toshiba LTPS panel supporting 1024 x 768 XGA resolution. With the most sophisticated and complicated technologies, the LTPS LCD is able to fulfill the most stringent screen image quality and uncompromising video quality requirements. This model is design for specific applications where high resolution is crucial, such as GPS (Global Positioning System), and medical equipment display.

Combined with high resolution, LPTS displays are inherently thinner and lighter than amorphous silicon panels for the implementation of Chip-On–Glass technology. In addition, LTPS display make it possible to use a very narrow bezel and a three- side- free design approach, which could be ideal solutions for tiling and other multiply- display applications typically found in financial markets.

Furthermore, due to the high brightness, durability and reliability, the LTPS displays are optimal for military and aeronautic applications for its ability to meet the required electro-optical performance over extremely rigid environmental conditions. (Temperature, humidity, vibration, fogging and abrupt altitude change are the major factors posing serious problems for LCD glass.)

With an optimistic expectation in this niche market, GVision plans to launch a series of LTPS applications in different fields with a full lineup of monitors including 10.4” SXGA, 11.3” SXGA and 15” UXGA.

About GVision

The LCD monitor is likely to substitute for CRT monitor owing to its outstanding merits of low power consumption, space saving, and emission-free in the display industry in a foreseeable future. GVision is one of the few professional manufacturers, who has been concentrated all its efforts solely on LCD monitors featuring outstanding performance with various applications.

Founded in 1999, GVision has the competence to meet the client’s full satisfaction with its premium quality products, professionalism, and global logistics service system. In order to be more efficient, GVISION has also established assembly lines in the USA, Holland and UK. The prominent reasons for the front-end assembly lines are the advantages of providing clients more flexibility in inventory, cash flow management and shipment cost reduction.

With ambition to keep growing in the coming years, GVision is currently expanding operations in the hope of increasing monthly capacity to 30K units and has targeted to hit the sales revenue of US$ 64 million at the end of 2000. “ Drawing on the formidable resources of international branch offices, Gvision has the advantages to provide the premium quality product and service to our customers and prospects. By the end of next year, we will be planning to be on the list of the over –the- counter market.” According to Victor Lai, the President of GVision.

About LTPS Technology & Advantages

• High Resolution quality screen and video picture
• COG (Chip-on-Glass) light in weight, durable, reliability, lower cost
• Greater Aperture Ratio high in brightness, low in power consumption
• Quicker Response Time HR, COG, GAR,

LTPS displays provide high-resolution formats up to 300 pixels per inch and are high in brightness, light in weight, low in power consumption, durable and highly reliable.

LPTS technology makes it possible to completely eliminate the row and column driver IC chips that normally surround the periphery of a -Si (amorphous silicon) TFT-LCDs. The technology of the COG (Chip-On-Glass) leads to a simpler cell and array construction of an LTPS 10.4-in. XGA TFT-LCD than that of a typical a-Si 10.4-in. SVGA TFT LCD, even though the LTPS panel has over 50% more pixels. In addition, 13 other driver chips can be eliminated, consequently reducing the component materials and assembly costs during the fabrication process.

The silicon grain structure on a polysilicon substrate is much larger and more uniform, which allow electrons to flow much more freely. In another words, the electron mobility is greater than that in an a- Si substrate. As a result, the response time is more than 100 times faster than that in an a–Si substrate. Due to the greater electron mobility in poly-Si substrates, each individual transistor in each individual sub-pixel is much smaller than that in an a–Si substrate. This feature contributes to an increased aperture ratio, which in turn provides increased brightness and lower power consumption.
