Torisan Sanyo , one of the world's largest manufacturers of TFT-LCD modules, announces the availability of an improved version of it's world leading 40 inch TFT LCD module for high quality television and public information display applications.

The TM396WX-71N32 is lighter by 2.3Kg and offers a super fast response time of 8ms¥ making it ideal for display of television and other video format images without streaking or blurring. The new panel offers a full colour display of up to 16.7 million colours with a resolution of 1280x768 (WXGA), a greater contrast ratio than others in the field of 600:1.

The luminance of 500cd/m2 combined with its high contrast make it suitable for use in areas where the ambient light levels might washout lower specification products currently on the market.

The minimum backlight life of 50,000 hours offers significant reductions in lifetime costs when compared with alternatives such as plasma displays.

Extensive spending on research and development backs Torisan Sanyo's plans to develop much larger and improved versions of TFT LCD module in the future for these applications.
