NEC Electronics America Showcases Innovations in Industrial Displays at SID 2007

                   Product Demonstrations in Booth #1235

    SANTA CLARA, Calif., May 21 /PRNewswire/ -- NEC Electronics America,
Inc., a leading supplier in the Americas of innovative liquid crystal
display (LCD) products for industrial applications, today announced that it
will showcase its latest and most advanced display modules and technologies
at the Society for Information Display (SID) Symposium 2007 (booth #1235)
May 22-24 at the Long Beach Convention Center in California.
    Demonstrations Showcase Product Innovations
    NEC Electronics America will demonstrate 29 new LCD modules based on
technology from NEC LCD Technologies, including modules with wide aspect
ratios, modules suitable for mobile products in industrial applications,
and modules based on existing and emerging display technologies.
    --  Super-reflective natural light (SR-NLT) TFT and super-transmissive
        natural light (ST-NLT) technologies are designed to provide better
        viewing in any type of ambient light.

        SR-NLT technology allows users to change backlight modes to use
        ambient light instead of backlighting as the display's light source,
        saving precious battery life in mobile terminals and handsets.

        ST-NLT technology capitalizes on NEC LCD Technologies' proprietary
        optical design, while boosting efficiency of the backlight's light
        utilization and minimizing the surface reflection of ambient light.
        The result is a transmissive display that features higher contrast and
        a wider range of colors, even in bright outdoor light, than reflective
        LCDs.

        Demonstrations of these technologies will feature a 10.4-inch module
        with video graphics array (VGA) resolution and 15.3- and 12.1-inch
        modules with extended graphics array (XGA) resolution, all of which
        were introduced earlier this month.

    --  Super-fine TFT (SFT) technology provides high-quality moving images,
        high luminance and a wide gamut of clear, vivid colors. Wide viewing
        angles with little deviation in brightness and color make display
        modules based on this technology ideal for use in medical systems
        where precision is critical for the accurate diagnosis of medical
        conditions. Demonstrations of SFT technology will feature modules
        ranging from a monochrome 21.3-inch, six-million-pixel super-advanced
        SFT LCD designed for use in medical monitors to a 3.5-inch
        ultra-advanced SFT prototype with VGA resolution designed for use in
        handheld display applications.

    --  LCD modules with wide aspect ratios are growing in popularity in the
        industrial market. While most modules in this category target
        consumer-type applications, NEC's products have been designed
        specifically for applications in the industrial market, including test
        and measurement equipment, instrumentation devices, point-of-sales
        systems and gaming systems. NEC Electronics America will demonstrate a
        number of LCD modules with wide formats, all of which feature longer
        life cycles and higher quality.

    --  NEC Electronics America offers a variety of LCD modules that are well
        suited to mobile industrial applications, including global positioning
        systems, radio frequency identification devices and barcode scanners.
        Newly introduced products on display will include two 2.7-inch
        amorphous-silicon modules with quarter video graphics array (QVGA)
        resolution, one 4.3-inch amorphous-silicon module with wide QVGA
        (WQVA) resolution, a 3.5-inch value-integrated TFT (VIT(TM))
        system-on-glass (SOG) module and four additional VIT prototypes
        ranging in size from 1 to 3.5 inches.

    --  Emerging technologies demonstrate NEC Electronics America's commitment
        to serving the industrial market with leading-edge display
        technologies. The company will showcase products featuring three
        emerging technologies: white LED backlight technology, two-/three-
        dimensional LCD technology and high-speed motion picture performance
        technology. Products featuring these technologies include a 6.5-inch
        module with high luminescence and a white LED backlight, three
        prototypes that display three-dimensional images and one 21.3-inch
        prototype with XGA resolution and a high-speed motion picture response
        time of 9.8 milliseconds (ms).
