Chi Mei Optoelectronics is to launch world's first 56-inch LCD TV panel supporting Quad Full High Definition (QFHD) with a resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels and an astonishing 8.29 million pixels.
Chi Mei Optoelectronics is a Taiwanese company and the third largest LCD TV panel supplier in the world. The company will display the LCD TV at CEBIT in Hannover in mid-March.
Breakthrough and Problems encountered :
The new panel features resolution that is four times that of currently available products (1920 x 1080), and the highest ever achieved. The new panel consists of over 24.8 million units of transistors, with a data transmission speed of over 1.4 gigabytes per second.
The company points out that the technical challenges were not only in developing a larger sized LCD panel, but also in developing the 4x increase in screen resolution. This involved the development of special new driver methods and scanning procedures and solving massive heat generation problems caused by the alignment of so many transistors.
Future and Application areas :
In future the display data load will increase exponentially, due both to technology development and the continuing convergence of 3C (computer, communication and consumer electronics) trends. As a result, demand for displays with high-speed data processing capabilities will also increase dramatically.

56-inch LCD panels can be applied in a number of high-end applications :
- They will be perfect for ultra high-end multi-functional home entertainment systems, in which they can provide consumers the superior performance of digital TV and to connect with high quality digital still and video cameras, to provide consumers with luxurious home theater experience.
- Alternately, the 56-inch QFHD displays can be applied in high-end specialty uses for high-resolution graphic display such as in medical video camera or satellite picture displays.
