The first prototype, a 256-color super-twisted nematic-(STN) LCD, using plastic for the base and weighs half as much as glass-based STN-LCDs, shock-resistant 10 times stronger. It has a response time of 350ms. Shipment is scheduled to start in January 2001. The second prototype features a high level of saturation. The STN-LCD has 4,096-color display, a luminance of 50cd/m2 and a response time of 350ms. It is set to hit the market in the second quarter of 2001. The third prototype, also an STN-LCD, was designed with games and other applications that use moving pictures in mind. It offers a quick response time of 60ms and a display boasting 4,096 colors. Commercialization is expected in the third quarter of 2001. The fourth prototype, a double metal twisted nematic thin-film diode LCD, is capable of processing moving pictures at 30 frames per second thanks to its fast response time of 30ms. It also supports 4,096 colors. Commercialization of this panel is expected in 2002. (Nikkei Electronics)
