Japan Display Inc. (株式会社ジャパンディスプレイ Kabushiki-gaisha Japan Disupurei?) (JDI) is an LCD technology joint venture by Sony, Toshiba, and Hitachi.

Outline

The agreement was finalized November 15, 2011 and operations began April 1, 2012. [4]

Technology

JDI has developed several technologies to differentiate its LCD panels from those of the competitors.

  • Active-matrix displays driven by TFTs based on a low-temperature polycrystalline-silicon ("LTPS") process instead of amorphous silicon. These higher performance transistors allow a higher resolution (more ppi = pixels per inch).[8]
  • Most LCDs manufactured by JDI use the In-Plane-Switching concept, as do many of its competitors. JDI has developed an improvement for darker black pixels (true-black appearance), called "IPS-NEO", which reduces the light shining through from the backlighting.[9]
  • The conventional combination of a transparent touch-screen device in front of an LCD panel has been replaced by integrating the touch-screen function into the LCD panel itself, called "Pixel Eyes".[10]
  • For reflective LCDs without backlighting, JDI has developed an addressing technique using a thin-film memory device SRAM in addition to the conventional TFT for each pixel, so that a still image can be stored with very little energy.[11]

Business

As JDI conducted an IPO during March 2014, some business information became available.[12]

It was reported that JDI is the major supplier of displays for Apple's iPhone.[13]
