NEC NEW 10 BIT 1.06 BILLION COLORS LCD WITH RGB BACKLIGHT

[humanentity]

NEC ANNOUNCEMENT

here u have a 10 bit lcd with a 21.3 size. If u are tired of those 6 bit lcds u can go for one of those,... once in the market. The way it works is htt u select 16.7 million colors among the 1.06 total, that are good news because an 1.06 color lcd would have like 100ms response time or something like this

The panel's not truly 10-bit - it just picks the "closest 8bpp match" from a 10bpp palette. Which is moronic, as 99% of the videocards on the market will output an 8bpp signal anyways, and the other 1% of Matrox P-series cards will have their 10bpp output scaled down.

Cliff's - marketing BS. 😉

CDRInfo newsbit: NEC LCD Technologies Announces High-End 21.3" LCD with RGB LED

It appears to be using some sort of RGB LED backlight, instead of a CCFL backlight, that's kind of curious to see.

(4) Color Correction:
The luminance of each color LED is individually controllable. This enables adjustment of the white balance of each screen for multi-screen use. It is also beneficial in cases where color matching between the display screen and other input and output ("I/O") equipment such as digital cameras, image scanners or printers is necessary. In addition, the tuning range of the white balance of the LED back-light system is wider than that of LCD modules with CCFL back-light units. As a result, the stability of the luminance and the chromaticity can be preserved against age deterioration.

The thing that wasn't clear to me - is this one R,G,B LED triad for each LCD pixel triad as well? If so, why not simply make this an emissive LED display, rather than a transmissive LCD panel? Or are there perhaps a cluster of backlight illumination LEDs, and the fact that they are LEDs rather than a CCFL allows them that ability to adjust the white-balance, something sorely lacking in the majority of todays LCDs?
