NEC claims it has developed an amorphous TFT LCD "with the world's fastest Motion Picture Response Time (MPRT)." According to the manufacturer, the VGA (640 x 480 pixel) version of the 10.4" LCD achieves an MPRT of 5.0 ms, an XGA (1024 x 768 pixel) model is slightly slower at 6.0 ms.
NEC said that the increase in speed was made possible through a change of the liquid crystal material used and a revision of the cell structure. The display prototypes also integrated a "blinking-backlight approach" to counter motion picture blurring - a common effect occurring in todays hold-type displays.
