LCD Pixel Response Time Halved

Posted by Hemos on Sunday September 5, 2004 @11:15PM from the speeding-things-up dept.

kagaku writes "Japanese newspaper the Nihon Kaizai Shimbun (evil registration required) said that Mitsubishi has mastered a technology to improve the response speed of pixels on LCDs by 100 per cent or more. It's done this by getting rid of the afterimages on screens which known as "ghosts", said the newspaper, and invented a proprietary system called Dual Domain Bend. It cites unnamed sources at Mitsubishi saying that this method produces a response speed of one millisecond when power is applied and five milliseconds when the lights go off and the power goes down. That, the paper said, compares to up to forty milliseconds to switch pixels on and off. While the technique, when it gets to the manufacturing stage, will have immediate benefits for PC monitors, it will also help narrow the gap between LCD TVs and plasma displays, which have a quicker response speed. Here's a non-registration required link."

You mean power, moron. Work is not a rate, it's a measure of energy that has been expended. Improving the amount of energy expended by 100% means 0 joules of energy. If you mean power, which is the rate at which work is done, then yes, technically you could improve the power by 100% and it not be zero....

But that is not the case here, moron.
