LCD Pixel Response Time Halved

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."

... of course it's redundant, everyone who reads this immediately thinks about gaming. really, the only people who care about low response are the gamers...

OK; I'll just have Tripp tap some plasma from the secondary warp injectors for ya.

Your TV will last longer if you coat the manifold in Trellium-D. Kind of expensive, but it's worth it.
