Introduces SOLTIMO - World’s First High-Speed Automated Microbial Growth Monitoring SystemJDI has developed SOLTIMO, the world's first microbial growth monitoring system capable of continuously observing and analyzing microbial growth using transmitted light. SOLTIMO is set for release in December 2024, and will dramatically accelerate medical professionals' ability to render accurate clinical judgements on behalf of their patients, improving patients' health outcomes while freeing medical and life science professionals from lengthy and onerous manual observation activity. SOLTIMO is a unique monitoring system that uses a large, highly precise TFT (thin film transistor) optical sensor to observe microbial growth and analyze data in real time. SOLTIMO senses the light transmitted through a sample cultured on a growth medium. SOLTIMO is expected to contribute to improved observation efficiency, faster clinical judgments, and standardization in medical and biological testing methods. With SOLTIMO's microbial growth observation, the conventional procedure of removing the growth medium from an incubator (i.e., a microbial culture device) for observation is no longer required. Furthermore, SOLTIMO's real-time observation allows for quicker judgment, and enables automated analysis of measurement results, thereby improving efficiency.By leveraging JDI's leading flat panel display technology, the SOLTIMO device itself has been made compact and thin, allowing for more than 10 SOLTIMO units to be installed simultaneously in a standard-sized incubator. As an antibiotic susceptibility analyzer, SOLTIMO can also automatically carry out the disk diffusion test, identify the bacterial species and contribute to addressing AMR (antimicrobial resistance) issues. SOLTIMO-M, a medical device equipped with this function, will be available through CarbGem Inc., JDI's partner in developing SOLTIMO.Reported Earnings • Nov 17Second quarter 2025 earnings released: JP¥1.67 loss per share (vs JP¥2.66 loss in 2Q 2024)Second quarter 2025 results: JP¥1.67 loss per share (improved from JP¥2.66 loss in 2Q 2024).

JDI's technology breakthrough makes possible affordable VR displays with the extraordinary imaging and highly realistic, immersive user experiences that were previously only available on high-cost silicon substrates. Recognizing the importance of this technology, JDI was awarded the DIC International Display Technology Innovation Award on June 18, 2024, ahead of the July 3, 2024 start of Display Innovation China EXPO 2024 (DIC EXPO 2024, Shanghai), China's leading display technology exposition. In order to enhance the immersive experience when using a VR-HMD, it is important to secure a wide field of view (FOV) and eye-box (the range of eye movement where the screen can be viewed without distortion) in addition to a clear and natural image. JDI's newly developed 2.15 inch, 2527 ppi ultra high-resolution display combines JDI's world- leading LTPO (Low-Temperature Polycrystalline Oxide) and COA (Color Filter on Array) technologies to achieve a resolution of 3840×3840 pixels per eye, thus allowing for a wide FOV within a compact 2 inch display. JDI's ultra high-resolution LCD also minimizes the "screen door effect" problem with conventional VR-HMDs (in which pixel patterns become unintentionally visible to the user), thus providing a cleaner and more realistic visual experience. The significant cost advantages of using glass substrate for JDI's ultra high-resolution display will cater to a broad range of needs within the high-resolution display market. JDI will continue to leverage its world-leading technology capabilities to build upon its lead in the global VR display market.공시 • Jun 13Japan Display Inc. to Exhibit 5G LC Meta-Surface ReflectorJapan Display Inc. will exhibit its latest technology breakthrough, its LC (liquid crystal) Meta-Surface reflector technology, at COMNEXT 2024 from June 26 to 28 at Tokyo Big Sight South Exhibition Hall.

Announces Mass Production Update & Development of Ultra-High Brightness 1600 nit eLEAP for Notebook PCsJDI is currently ramping up for December 2024 mass production of eLEAP, its revolutionary, next-generation OLED technology. eLEAP is the world's first OLED using photolithography for maskless deposition in order to overcome the low brightness and short lifetime weaknesses of conventional OLED technology. As part of its eLEAP roll-out, JDI is developing a broad number of end-use applications. This includes the14-inch eLEAP display that JDI announced in August 2023, which was developed for use in notebook PCs in response to strong customer demand. With ongoing technical development, JDI has succeeded in creating an ultra-high brightness 14-inch eLEAP display that achieves a peak brightness of 1600 nits, three times higher than conventional OLED. Having started test production in October 2023, JDI is currently ramping up for December 2024 eLEAP mass production at its G6 fab in Mobara, Japan. The production ramp is well ahead of plan: eight months ahead of launch, JDI has already achieved a production yield of over 60%, underscoring that JDI has successfully overcome the key technical hurdles for launch. JDI will supply eLEAP for use in a wide array of end-use applications, including smartwatches & wearables, smartphones, notebook PCs, and automotive displays. JDI's new ultra-high brightness 14-inch eLEAP display uses a single-stack structure to deliver brightness of 1600 nits, three times higher than conventional OLED. This extraordinary brightness allows for full display use even in sunny, outdoor environments. For conventional OLED to achieve similar brightness levels requires using a double-stack tandem structure, but this makes both the product and the manufacturing process more complex and results in higher costs. JDI's 14-inch eLEAP technology delivers customers what they want: higher performance at a lower cost. Furthermore, by employing a tandem structure, eLEAP can achieve brightness levels exceeding 3,000 nits, thus paving way for ultra-realistic, ultra-high brightness visual experiences. JDI has over 8,000 global OLED patents and has filed for over 500 eLEAP patents. In addition, with its ability to draw upon its expertise in production equipment and processes, JDI continues to build out its world-class intellectual property portfolio. eLEAP is a key growth driver for JDI's METAGROWTH 2026 growth strategy, which focuses on creating major breakthroughs in customer and social value via JDI's Global No. 1 technologies. eLEAP meets these important customer and social needs: it outperforms conventional OLED and is GreenTech that significantly reduces CO2 emissions during the manufacturing process. JDI is committed to leading a revolution in global display technology that serves customers and the world.공시 • Apr 02Sony Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation completed the acquisition of Higashiura Fab facilities from Japan Display Inc.Sony Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation signed an agreement to acquire Higashiura Fab facilities from Japan Display Inc. on March 10, 2023.

Announces Development of First Directivity of MmWave Meta-Surface ReflectorJapan Display Inc. announced the development of the first transparent liquid crystal meta-surface reflector that can change the direction of mmWave reflection to any direction. The transparent liquid crystal meta-surface reflectsor can be placed on window glass or on advertising media, and generally in any environment or location where transparency offers added benefits, which greatly increases installation flexibility. As a result, the radio communication environment of mmWave is greatly improved, contributing to greater convenience for consumers. While the mmWave used in 5G can provide ultra-high-speed, high-capacity, and low-latency communication services, the strong directivity of the radio wave creates coverage holes in places such as the shadows of buildings and trees, where it is difficult for the mmWave to reach. Meta-surface reflectors that reflect radio waves from base stations in a specific direction, and deliver them to coverage holes, offer a great solution to this real-world problem. As announced in October 2021, JDI has been developing direction- variable liquid crystal meta-surface reflect or that can reflect mmWave in any direction. The newly developed transparent mmWave liquid crystal meta-surface reflector has the characteristic of reflecting mmWave in any direction, while still passing through visible light. The company have confirmed that the visible light can actually be seen through a prototype in which this technology is applied. The prototype was also confirmed to be able to reflect mmWave in any set direction. With this achievement, it is expected that transparent mmWave liquid crystal meta-surface reflector can be placed on window glass and advertising media, and that flexible measures for the coverage holes can be taken in various scenes, in accordance with changes in the position of the coverage holes due to changes in radio environment, and with changes in communication traffic at different times of the day. This technology can be applied not only to 5G but also to Beyond5G/6G. The transparent liquid crystal meta-surface reflector will be exhibited at COMNEXT - Next Generation Communication Technology & Solutions Exhibition - to be held at Tokyo Big Sight from June 28, 2023 to June 30, 2023.공시 • May 24Japan Display Inc. to Exhibit At Smart Sensing 2023JDI will exhibit new sensor applications created from existing display technologies at Smart Sensing 2023, to be held at Tokyo Big Sight from May 31 to June 2, 2023.

Further Develops Its Breakthrough Transparent Rælclear Display TechnologyIn response to strong customer demand, Japan Display Inc. (JDI) has further developed its breakthrough transparent Rælclear display technology and expects to begin mass production of a new 20.8-inch Rælclear display with 2X brightness in the fall of 2023. With the world's highest display transparency, Rælclear is a revolutionary display technology with glass-like transparency and sharp and vivid images fully visible from both the display's front and back. Rælclear's name was born from its unique two-way transparency: starting from the letter "c", Rælclear reads as "clear" in both directions. Rælclear enables brand-new display applications with unprecedented two-way communication. JDI sold out all of its 12.3-inch Rælclear displays on the Makuake product launch platform in September 2021 and is now selling the 12.3-inch display to customers globally. The design and development of this new 20.8-inch display is in response to customer needs to present more and richer information via a single display. In addition to the larger 20.8-inch screen, JDI has deployed its proprietary backplane technology to 2X the refresh rate, reducing flicker and improving image quality. JDI has also upgraded the 20.8-inch display with higher performance LEDs to 2X brightness. The 12.3-inch Rælclear display was primarily intended for use in facilitating face-to-face communication by converting voice into text. The new 20.8-inch display makes it easier to interpret conversation partners' facial expressions and display additional information such as images or videos. It is thus expected to be used in medical applications such as over the counter communication and medical examinations, as well as for transportation and signage solutions. New 20.8-Inch Rælclear Product Specs: Display Size: 20.8-inch (460.8 mm (H) x 259.2 mm (V)); Pixel Count: 1280 (V) x 720 (H); Colors: 4,096 colors; Refresh Rate: 120 Hz; Transparency: 90%; Brightness: 300 cd/m2.공시 • Jun 17Japan Display Inc. Develops World’s First Flexible LTPS TFT Tactile SensorJapan Display Inc. (JDI) has developed the world's first flexible tactile sensor that enables high-precision measurement over a wide area using a matrix of LTPS TFTs (low- temperature polysilicon thin-film transistors). Highly accurate tactile measurement is required for the development of a number of new technologies and products, as well as for advanced sports and medical research. JDI's flexible tactile sensor is suitable for a wide range of applications, such as measuring the grip strength of a robot grasping an object or the pressure distribution on the sole of a person's foot during walking. Specifically, tactile sensors are required to measure contact surfaces that are difficult to observe externally. Unfortunately, with conventional tactile sensors it has been difficult to achieve both high precision and broad measurement area. Furthermore, conventional sensors are prone to crosstalk, which makes accurate sensing difficult at high-precision due to the influence of surrounding sensor pixels. To solve these problems, JDI has developed a high-resolution, crosstalk-free flexible tactile sensor by combining JDI's advanced active-matrix technology used in displays with a conductive pressure sensitive layer (sensor material whose resistance decreases when pressure is applied) to monitor the current flowing in each sensor pixel. In test applications where individuals walk on JDI's flexible tactile sensor, JDI was able to obtain a high-resolution pressure distribution image in which each toe could be easily identified. The use of JDI's flexible tactile sensor thus makes it possible to analyze pressure distributions and their transition for each part and location, which has been difficult to achieve with conventional sensor technology. The results of this development are expected to be applied to advanced motion analysis in the sports and medical fields and to provide tactile sensation to robots. In addition, by sending physical information such as walking and grip data to cyberspace, it will also be possible to use the sensor in the metaverse.공시 • May 14+ 3 more updatesJDI Develops eLEAP, Maskless Deposition + Lithographic OLED Historic Breakthrough in Display PerformanceJapan Display Inc. (JDI) has developed eLEAP. eLEAP is a historic breakthrough in display technology that overcomes the weaknesses of current OLED and LCD display technologies. Currently, Fine Metal Masks ("FMM") are the primary method of organic material evaporation for OLED display mass production. eLEAP does not use FMMs - it is a radically new technology that patterns RGB pixels more precisely. eLEAP increases emission efficiency1 up to 60%, which is >2X the emission efficiency (aperture ratio) generated by the FMM method (reference: 300ppi OLED, JDI benchmark). In combining eLEAP with JDI's innovative HMO (High Mobility Oxide) backplane technology, JDI is dramatically improving the weak points of OLED displays with respect to peak brightness, lifetime, and power consumption. eLEAP also enables designs to be free shape and can manufacture large displays, which is difficult with the conventional FMM method due to the limitations of metal masks. The conventional FMM method for OLED is limited up to G6 glass substrate sizes (c. 1,500 mm x 1,850 mm), while eLEAP is able to be deployed at G8 (c. 2,200 mm x 2,500 mm) or larger.공시 • May 12Japan Display Inc. Announces Production End At Higashiura FabJapan Display Inc. decided to end production of LCD panels at its Higashiura Fab by March 2023. Reason for production end: JDI has four display fabs in Japan, operating with glass substrate sizes ranging from G3.5 (600 mm × 720 mm) to G6 (1500 mm × 1850 mm). Higashiura is a G3.5 line, manufacturing relatively small LCD panels for products such as digital cameras and wearable devices that are suitable for production on smaller glass substrates. G3.5 lines have lower productivity and cost competitiveness relative to larger G6 lines. The demand for some displays produced at Higashiura has also decreased due to maturing end-markets. JDI has thus decided to end production at Higashiura in order to increase JDI's competitiveness and profitability. Higashiura's production of VR, automotive, and newly developed displays will be transferred to other JDI fabs, and JDI will offer on-going employment opportunities to Higashiura employees within JDI. JDI is also reviewing the possibility of Higashiura's sale or other use of the land and buildings after production end. Higashiura Fab Overview: Name: Higashiura Fab (G3.5 LCD line); Location: Higashiura-cho, Chita-gun, Aichi Prefecture; Business: Production of small-and medium-sized LCD panels; Number of Employees: 259 (as of April 30, 2022).

Develops World’S First G6 Oxide Semiconductor Tft with 4X Improvement in Field-Effect MobilityJapan Display Inc. has successfully developed the world's first backplane technology to radically improve the properties of conventional oxide semiconductor thin film transistors (OS-TFT) at its G6 Plant in Mobara, Japan, and will begin immediate commercialization of this new technology. JDI's new OS-TFT technology generates high-mobility oxide semiconductors, which have 2X the field-effect mobility of conventional OS-TFTs, and ultra-high mobility oxide semiconductors, which have 4X higher field-effect mobility than conventional OS-TFT. UHMO's field-effect mobility on JDI's G6 mass production line is 52cm2/Vs, an extraordinarily high level. More broadly, HMO enables the same level of on-current flow as LTPS, while maintaining low off-leak current. A further advantage of HMO is that while conventional high-mobility AMOLED backplanes require LTPS technology, which limits glass substrate sizes to G6, HMO can be used in G8 or larger production lines. JDI believes HMO will drastically accelerate display technology innovation and contribute to significant improvements in both OLED and LCD display performance, including: Lower power consumption; For Metaverse VR/AR displays, higher resolutions and higher refresh rates, driving deeper immersion and reality integration for users in the Metaverse; For transparent displays, higher transparency and image quality and bigger displays. Conventional OS-TFTs have a problem of bias temperature stress, which causes poor reliability and image deterioration when trying to obtain high field-effect mobility. However, by leveraging the manufacturing process know-how JDI has developed over many years, JDI has overcome these challenges with HMO, which is a new, breakthrough OS-TFT with superior characteristics. HMO achieves both high field-effect mobility and stable BTS to concurrently realize OS-TFT's low off-leak current and LTPS's image driving stability. HMO uses crystalline oxide materials developed by Idemitsu Kosan Co. Ltd. JDI is already in HMO deployment discussions with multiple customers and plans to start mass production in 2024. JDI believes that HMO is a breakthrough technology that has extremely broad application across display types and customer applications. As one use case, JDI plans to combine HMO with JDI's next-generation OLED technology to expand G6 wearable display production, with a sales target for this use case of c. JPY 25 billion in FY26/3 and JPY 50 billion in FY27/3. HMO builds upon JDI's core capabilities in backplane technology built over many years. Thus, additional expenses required for HMO commercialization will be less than JPY 1 billion.Reported Earnings • Feb 12Third quarter 2022 earnings: EPS misses analyst expectationsThird quarter 2022 results: EPS: JP¥0.46 (down from JP¥5.66 in 3Q 2021).

공시 • Nov 20Japan Display Inc. Introduces SOLTIMO - World’s First High-Speed Automated Microbial Growth Monitoring SystemJDI has developed SOLTIMO, the world's first microbial growth monitoring system capable of continuously observing and analyzing microbial growth using transmitted light. SOLTIMO is set for release in December 2024, and will dramatically accelerate medical professionals' ability to render accurate clinical judgements on behalf of their patients, improving patients' health outcomes while freeing medical and life science professionals from lengthy and onerous manual observation activity. SOLTIMO is a unique monitoring system that uses a large, highly precise TFT (thin film transistor) optical sensor to observe microbial growth and analyze data in real time. SOLTIMO senses the light transmitted through a sample cultured on a growth medium. SOLTIMO is expected to contribute to improved observation efficiency, faster clinical judgments, and standardization in medical and biological testing methods. With SOLTIMO's microbial growth observation, the conventional procedure of removing the growth medium from an incubator (i.e., a microbial culture device) for observation is no longer required. Furthermore, SOLTIMO's real-time observation allows for quicker judgment, and enables automated analysis of measurement results, thereby improving efficiency.By leveraging JDI's leading flat panel display technology, the SOLTIMO device itself has been made compact and thin, allowing for more than 10 SOLTIMO units to be installed simultaneously in a standard-sized incubator. As an antibiotic susceptibility analyzer, SOLTIMO can also automatically carry out the disk diffusion test, identify the bacterial species and contribute to addressing AMR (antimicrobial resistance) issues. SOLTIMO-M, a medical device equipped with this function, will be available through CarbGem Inc., JDI's partner in developing SOLTIMO.

공시 • Jun 27JDI Develops World's Highest Resolution (>2500 ppi) Ultra High-Resolution VR Display on Glass SubstrateJapan Display Inc. has developed the world's highest resolution ultra high-resolution display on a low-cost glass substrate (2.15 inches, 2527 ppi) for use in virtual reality head-mounted displays (VR- HMDs). JDI's technology breakthrough makes possible affordable VR displays with the extraordinary imaging and highly realistic, immersive user experiences that were previously only available on high-cost silicon substrates. Recognizing the importance of this technology, JDI was awarded the DIC International Display Technology Innovation Award on June 18, 2024, ahead of the July 3, 2024 start of Display Innovation China EXPO 2024 (DIC EXPO 2024, Shanghai), China's leading display technology exposition. In order to enhance the immersive experience when using a VR-HMD, it is important to secure a wide field of view (FOV) and eye-box (the range of eye movement where the screen can be viewed without distortion) in addition to a clear and natural image. JDI's newly developed 2.15 inch, 2527 ppi ultra high-resolution display combines JDI's world- leading LTPO (Low-Temperature Polycrystalline Oxide) and COA (Color Filter on Array) technologies to achieve a resolution of 3840×3840 pixels per eye, thus allowing for a wide FOV within a compact 2 inch display. JDI's ultra high-resolution LCD also minimizes the "screen door effect" problem with conventional VR-HMDs (in which pixel patterns become unintentionally visible to the user), thus providing a cleaner and more realistic visual experience. The significant cost advantages of using glass substrate for JDI's ultra high-resolution display will cater to a broad range of needs within the high-resolution display market. JDI will continue to leverage its world-leading technology capabilities to build upon its lead in the global VR display market.

공시 • Apr 16Japan Display Inc. Announces Mass Production Update & Development of Ultra-High Brightness 1600 nit eLEAP for Notebook PCsJDI is currently ramping up for December 2024 mass production of eLEAP, its revolutionary, next-generation OLED technology. eLEAP is the world's first OLED using photolithography for maskless deposition in order to overcome the low brightness and short lifetime weaknesses of conventional OLED technology. As part of its eLEAP roll-out, JDI is developing a broad number of end-use applications. This includes the14-inch eLEAP display that JDI announced in August 2023, which was developed for use in notebook PCs in response to strong customer demand. With ongoing technical development, JDI has succeeded in creating an ultra-high brightness 14-inch eLEAP display that achieves a peak brightness of 1600 nits, three times higher than conventional OLED. Having started test production in October 2023, JDI is currently ramping up for December 2024 eLEAP mass production at its G6 fab in Mobara, Japan. The production ramp is well ahead of plan: eight months ahead of launch, JDI has already achieved a production yield of over 60%, underscoring that JDI has successfully overcome the key technical hurdles for launch. JDI will supply eLEAP for use in a wide array of end-use applications, including smartwatches & wearables, smartphones, notebook PCs, and automotive displays. JDI's new ultra-high brightness 14-inch eLEAP display uses a single-stack structure to deliver brightness of 1600 nits, three times higher than conventional OLED. This extraordinary brightness allows for full display use even in sunny, outdoor environments. For conventional OLED to achieve similar brightness levels requires using a double-stack tandem structure, but this makes both the product and the manufacturing process more complex and results in higher costs. JDI's 14-inch eLEAP technology delivers customers what they want: higher performance at a lower cost. Furthermore, by employing a tandem structure, eLEAP can achieve brightness levels exceeding 3,000 nits, thus paving way for ultra-realistic, ultra-high brightness visual experiences. JDI has over 8,000 global OLED patents and has filed for over 500 eLEAP patents. In addition, with its ability to draw upon its expertise in production equipment and processes, JDI continues to build out its world-class intellectual property portfolio. eLEAP is a key growth driver for JDI's METAGROWTH 2026 growth strategy, which focuses on creating major breakthroughs in customer and social value via JDI's Global No. 1 technologies. eLEAP meets these important customer and social needs: it outperforms conventional OLED and is GreenTech that significantly reduces CO2 emissions during the manufacturing process. JDI is committed to leading a revolution in global display technology that serves customers and the world.

공시 • Jun 20Japan Display Inc. Announces Development of First Directivity of MmWave Meta-Surface ReflectorJapan Display Inc. announced the development of the first transparent liquid crystal meta-surface reflector that can change the direction of mmWave reflection to any direction. The transparent liquid crystal meta-surface reflectsor can be placed on window glass or on advertising media, and generally in any environment or location where transparency offers added benefits, which greatly increases installation flexibility. As a result, the radio communication environment of mmWave is greatly improved, contributing to greater convenience for consumers. While the mmWave used in 5G can provide ultra-high-speed, high-capacity, and low-latency communication services, the strong directivity of the radio wave creates coverage holes in places such as the shadows of buildings and trees, where it is difficult for the mmWave to reach. Meta-surface reflectors that reflect radio waves from base stations in a specific direction, and deliver them to coverage holes, offer a great solution to this real-world problem. As announced in October 2021, JDI has been developing direction- variable liquid crystal meta-surface reflect or that can reflect mmWave in any direction. The newly developed transparent mmWave liquid crystal meta-surface reflector has the characteristic of reflecting mmWave in any direction, while still passing through visible light. The company have confirmed that the visible light can actually be seen through a prototype in which this technology is applied. The prototype was also confirmed to be able to reflect mmWave in any set direction. With this achievement, it is expected that transparent mmWave liquid crystal meta-surface reflector can be placed on window glass and advertising media, and that flexible measures for the coverage holes can be taken in various scenes, in accordance with changes in the position of the coverage holes due to changes in radio environment, and with changes in communication traffic at different times of the day. This technology can be applied not only to 5G but also to Beyond5G/6G. The transparent liquid crystal meta-surface reflector will be exhibited at COMNEXT - Next Generation Communication Technology & Solutions Exhibition - to be held at Tokyo Big Sight from June 28, 2023 to June 30, 2023.

(JDI) has further developed its breakthrough transparent Rælclear display technology and expects to begin mass production of a new 20.8-inch Rælclear display with 2X brightness in the fall of 2023. With the world's highest display transparency, Rælclear is a revolutionary display technology with glass-like transparency and sharp and vivid images fully visible from both the display's front and back. Rælclear's name was born from its unique two-way transparency: starting from the letter "c", Rælclear reads as "clear" in both directions. Rælclear enables brand-new display applications with unprecedented two-way communication. JDI sold out all of its 12.3-inch Rælclear displays on the Makuake product launch platform in September 2021 and is now selling the 12.3-inch display to customers globally. The design and development of this new 20.8-inch display is in response to customer needs to present more and richer information via a single display. In addition to the larger 20.8-inch screen, JDI has deployed its proprietary backplane technology to 2X the refresh rate, reducing flicker and improving image quality. JDI has also upgraded the 20.8-inch display with higher performance LEDs to 2X brightness. The 12.3-inch Rælclear display was primarily intended for use in facilitating face-to-face communication by converting voice into text. The new 20.8-inch display makes it easier to interpret conversation partners' facial expressions and display additional information such as images or videos. It is thus expected to be used in medical applications such as over the counter communication and medical examinations, as well as for transportation and signage solutions. New 20.8-Inch Rælclear Product Specs: Display Size: 20.8-inch (460.8 mm (H) x 259.2 mm (V)); Pixel Count: 1280 (V) x 720 (H); Colors: 4,096 colors; Refresh Rate: 120 Hz; Transparency: 90%; Brightness: 300 cd/m2.
공시 • Jun 17Japan Display Inc. Develops World’s First Flexible LTPS TFT Tactile SensorJapan Display Inc. (JDI) has developed the world's first flexible tactile sensor that enables high-precision measurement over a wide area using a matrix of LTPS TFTs (low- temperature polysilicon thin-film transistors). Highly accurate tactile measurement is required for the development of a number of new technologies and products, as well as for advanced sports and medical research. JDI's flexible tactile sensor is suitable for a wide range of applications, such as measuring the grip strength of a robot grasping an object or the pressure distribution on the sole of a person's foot during walking. Specifically, tactile sensors are required to measure contact surfaces that are difficult to observe externally. Unfortunately, with conventional tactile sensors it has been difficult to achieve both high precision and broad measurement area. Furthermore, conventional sensors are prone to crosstalk, which makes accurate sensing difficult at high-precision due to the influence of surrounding sensor pixels. To solve these problems, JDI has developed a high-resolution, crosstalk-free flexible tactile sensor by combining JDI's advanced active-matrix technology used in displays with a conductive pressure sensitive layer (sensor material whose resistance decreases when pressure is applied) to monitor the current flowing in each sensor pixel. In test applications where individuals walk on JDI's flexible tactile sensor, JDI was able to obtain a high-resolution pressure distribution image in which each toe could be easily identified. The use of JDI's flexible tactile sensor thus makes it possible to analyze pressure distributions and their transition for each part and location, which has been difficult to achieve with conventional sensor technology. The results of this development are expected to be applied to advanced motion analysis in the sports and medical fields and to provide tactile sensation to robots. In addition, by sending physical information such as walking and grip data to cyberspace, it will also be possible to use the sensor in the metaverse.
공시 • May 14+ 3 more updatesJDI Develops eLEAP, Maskless Deposition + Lithographic OLED Historic Breakthrough in Display PerformanceJapan Display Inc. (JDI) has developed eLEAP. eLEAP is a historic breakthrough in display technology that overcomes the weaknesses of current OLED and LCD display technologies. Currently, Fine Metal Masks ("FMM") are the primary method of organic material evaporation for OLED display mass production. eLEAP does not use FMMs - it is a radically new technology that patterns RGB pixels more precisely. eLEAP increases emission efficiency1 up to 60%, which is >2X the emission efficiency (aperture ratio) generated by the FMM method (reference: 300ppi OLED, JDI benchmark). In combining eLEAP with JDI's innovative HMO (High Mobility Oxide) backplane technology, JDI is dramatically improving the weak points of OLED displays with respect to peak brightness, lifetime, and power consumption. eLEAP also enables designs to be free shape and can manufacture large displays, which is difficult with the conventional FMM method due to the limitations of metal masks. The conventional FMM method for OLED is limited up to G6 glass substrate sizes (c. 1,500 mm x 1,850 mm), while eLEAP is able to be deployed at G8 (c. 2,200 mm x 2,500 mm) or larger.
공시 • May 12Japan Display Inc. Announces Production End At Higashiura FabJapan Display Inc. decided to end production of LCD panels at its Higashiura Fab by March 2023. Reason for production end: JDI has four display fabs in Japan, operating with glass substrate sizes ranging from G3.5 (600 mm × 720 mm) to G6 (1500 mm × 1850 mm). Higashiura is a G3.5 line, manufacturing relatively small LCD panels for products such as digital cameras and wearable devices that are suitable for production on smaller glass substrates. G3.5 lines have lower productivity and cost competitiveness relative to larger G6 lines. The demand for some displays produced at Higashiura has also decreased due to maturing end-markets. JDI has thus decided to end production at Higashiura in order to increase JDI's competitiveness and profitability. Higashiura's production of VR, automotive, and newly developed displays will be transferred to other JDI fabs, and JDI will offer on-going employment opportunities to Higashiura employees within JDI. JDI is also reviewing the possibility of Higashiura's sale or other use of the land and buildings after production end. Higashiura Fab Overview: Name: Higashiura Fab (G3.5 LCD line); Location: Higashiura-cho, Chita-gun, Aichi Prefecture; Business: Production of small-and medium-sized LCD panels; Number of Employees: 259 (as of April 30, 2022).

JDI's new OS-TFT technology generates high-mobility oxide semiconductors, which have 2X the field-effect mobility of conventional OS-TFTs, and ultra-high mobility oxide semiconductors, which have 4X higher field-effect mobility than conventional OS-TFT. UHMO's field-effect mobility on JDI's G6 mass production line is 52cm2/Vs, an extraordinarily high level. More broadly, HMO enables the same level of on-current flow as LTPS, while maintaining low off-leak current. A further advantage of HMO is that while conventional high-mobility AMOLED backplanes require LTPS technology, which limits glass substrate sizes to G6, HMO can be used in G8 or larger production lines. JDI believes HMO will drastically accelerate display technology innovation and contribute to significant improvements in both OLED and LCD display performance, including: Lower power consumption; For Metaverse VR/AR displays, higher resolutions and higher refresh rates, driving deeper immersion and reality integration for users in the Metaverse; For transparent displays, higher transparency and image quality and bigger displays. Conventional OS-TFTs have a problem of bias temperature stress, which causes poor reliability and image deterioration when trying to obtain high field-effect mobility. However, by leveraging the manufacturing process know-how JDI has developed over many years, JDI has overcome these challenges with HMO, which is a new, breakthrough OS-TFT with superior characteristics. HMO achieves both high field-effect mobility and stable BTS to concurrently realize OS-TFT's low off-leak current and LTPS's image driving stability. HMO uses crystalline oxide materials developed by Idemitsu Kosan Co. Ltd. JDI is already in HMO deployment discussions with multiple customers and plans to start mass production in 2024. JDI believes that HMO is a breakthrough technology that has extremely broad application across display types and customer applications. As one use case, JDI plans to combine HMO with JDI's next-generation OLED technology to expand G6 wearable display production, with a sales target for this use case of c. JPY 25 billion in FY26/3 and JPY 50 billion in FY27/3. HMO builds upon JDI's core capabilities in backplane technology built over many years. Thus, additional expenses required for HMO commercialization will be less than JPY 1 billion.
