Sony Corporation Annual Report 2002
High-Temperature Polysilicon TFT LCDs
High-temperature polysilicon TFT LCDs are employed in projectors, video camera viewfinders, LCD
rear projection televisions and many other products. Data projectors, which are often used for
presentations, require even greater levels of brightness. The 0.9-type XGA TFT LCD, pictured here,
achieves this increased brightness through its industry-leading high aperture ratio, greater light
resistance, and heat dissipating metal frame.
Sony produces high-temperature polysilicon TFT LCDs for use both internally and for sale to
other companies, and it has a high share of the global market. Sony began shipping these panels in
the spring of 2002 from Sony Semiconductor Kyushu
Corporation’s Kumamoto Technology Center, which began
operations in the year under review. The center is the
nucleus of Sony’s work on leading-edge semiconductor
technology. Facilities include the Sony Group’s first
300mm wafer production line, pin-point clean technology,
and mini-lines capable of rapidly increasing output in
response to market conditions.
