St. Louis, May
5, 2004 –
Westar Display Technologies
will be exhibiting new
innovations at this year’s
SID 2004 Conference in
Seattle Washington, USA.
The
latest entry in the highly
successful FPD Performance
Measurement (FPM) product
line is already gaining
popularity with LCD TV,
monitor, and notebook
integrators, backlight
suppliers, materials
manufacturers, and custom
display manufacturers. The
FPM-Light (shown on right)
retains the most popular
features of the standard FPM
product line for automated
FPD testing, yet is priced
to meet lower budgets.
The
new T-Drive universal tester
(shown on left) provides
increased throughput for
testing TFT panels.
Productivity enhancements
include quick timing changes
when testing a new part
number, one button pattern
changes when isolating panel
problems, and selectable,
configurable pattern
sequences for the quickest
possible panel diagnosis.
Ideal for burn-in testing on
panels, the complementary
T-Soak is configured to
simultaneously drive up to 4
panels of the same
electrical interface. The
T-Soak cabling and drive
profiles are compatible with
the T-Drive, thereby
minimizing training costs.
Gray
level response time (GLRT)
measurement capability is
beneficial to LCD panel
manufacturers to
characterize their panels
and to panel integrators to
aide in the development of
over-drive electronics to
enhance LCD response time.
The new GLRT measurement
apparatus (shown on right)
will be exhibited as a
stand-alone item. It is also
available as an option to
the FPM. Westar’s GLRT
measurement solutions
provide rapid, automated,
measurement of response time
between all selected
combinations of gray levels.
In most cases response times
of single gray-shade
transitions can be measured.
Westar’s
video adapter group will be
exhibiting the new VP9-Dual.
This product (shown on left)
digitizes two RGB inputs,
and combines the image by
various methods, including
PIP, split screen, alpha
blending, RGB keying, and
more.
The Westar team is available
to discuss these innovations
and more at booths 1203 and
1208.
