CHICAGO, Oct. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- NEC-Mitsubishi Electronics Display of
America, Inc., the number one stand-alone vendor of flat panel desktop
displays, today announced that it has established a new division within the
company to expand its offerings in the global medical display market. Building
on its current line of award-winning Professional "80" Series monitors for
medical office information systems, the company will introduce the NEC
MultiSync MD Series. This new line of medically certified high-resolution LCD
color and grayscale monitors will deliver superior clinical viewing
capabilities to the rapidly growing diagnostic imaging market.
"The current global market for diagnostic and PACS displays is expected to
more than double by 2006," said T.J. Trojan, president and COO of NEC-
Mitsubishi Electronics Display of America, Inc. "Because of the benefits of
LCD technology -- including improved image contrast and resolution, as well as
smaller footprint, energy consumption and longer life span -- healthcare
providers are rapidly replacing outdated CRT monitors with LCD display
systems. These systems deliver patients with leading-edge imaging diagnostics,
and increased service efficiencies."
History of Market Innovation
Since introducing the industry's first commercially available 20.1" LCD
monitor in 1997, NEC-Mitsubishi Electronics Display of America has advanced
medical display solutions with its XtraView(R) wide angle viewing technology
and Ambix(R) technology, which bridges the gap between analog and digital
systems by allowing the same monitor to work seamlessly in either environment
using a single DVI-I connector. In addition, NEC-Mitsubishi has partnered
with many well-known medical equipment vendors and system bundlers including
Richardson Electronics. The company will continue this work along with its new
medically certified product offerings.
"NEC-Mitsubishi has been active with custom work in the medical market for
a number of years, and we decided that now is the right time to expand our
expertise to benefit the broader diagnostic imaging market," said Todd Fender,
senior product manager at NEC-Mitsubishi. "Our medical customers have been
telling us that health facilities increasingly require the advanced image
quality and cost savings that our LCD technologies deliver, and we are eager
to fulfill this need with the outstanding features of our MultiSync MD
Series."
Product Details
Available beginning spring 2004, the new NEC MultiSync MD monitor line
will offer a 21.3" color 2-MegaPixel display and a 21.3" grayscale 3-MegaPixel
display (summer 2004), followed soon after by a 21.3" color 3-MegaPixel
display. These offerings build on NEC-Mitsubishi's Professional "80" Series,
for use by medical office information teams, including:
-- 1880SX
-- 1980SX
-- 2080UX
-- 2080UX+ and 2180UX - both available in December 2003
All new NEC-Mitsubishi medical products will include the enhanced features
of black level adjustment, a function that allows for easy control of
grayscale images for optimum pictures in most modes, and when switched to
manual, is ideal for medical-specific uses such as X-ray photo viewers. A
second key feature is GammaComp(TM) technology -- internal circuitry that
produces smooth, accurate color tones when integrating with PCs.
"Our MultiSync MD line combined with the Professional "80" Series delivers
healthcare providers with a complete package of long-term benefits, including
not only cost, space and integration efficiencies, but the improved image
quality from our GammaComp and black level adjustment capabilities," said Todd
Fender. "NEC-Mitsubishi has a history of providing leading-edge solutions for
emerging markets, and our entry into the medical display market further
demonstrates our commitment to servicing growth industries with the most
advanced LCD monitor technology available."
RSNA Showcase
NEC-Mitsubishi will be showcasing the Professional "80" Series and
previewing the MultiSync MD Series at the upcoming RSNA trade show, November
30 to December 4 in Chicago. The company will be located at Booth #6649 on the
main show floor.
