Q1 |
Does Totoku's Independent Sub-drive technology (ISD), alter the aspect ratio
of images as it visually enhances horizontal resolution?
|
A1 |
No. Totoku's sub-pixel technology is driven by activating additional horizontal
sub-pixels, thereby increasing the density of the image (three-fold),
while the aspect ratio of the native image remains the same. |
|
|
Q2 |
The resolution is enhanced three times in the subpixel chain direction of the
LCD. What about the resolution in the other direction? |
A2 |
The resolution in the other direction does not change. However, the overall image
is displayed properly through special processing. |
|
Q3 |
Does the ISD technology affect luminance of the LCD? |
A3 |
As the ISD display employs the existing LCD panel used in conventional LCDs,
the overall luminance or contrast is basically the same as conventional
LCDs. However, because the sampling density from the original image
has changed, the luminance at the micro level
is changed. |
|
Q4 |
Is the ISD mode enabled by the ISD display or viewing software? |
A4 |
Both. To display an image in ISD mode, the ISD display and customized viewer
software are required. |
|
|
Q5 |
Does the ISD technology enable the three-times resolution enhancement by utilizing
any LCD panel? |
A5 |
If it is a monochrome LCD with a regular pixel structure that one pixel consists
of three sub-pixels, the three-times resolution enhancement is
technically possible with the ISD technology. |
|
Q6 |
Is a special computer or graphics card required? |
A6 |
No. However, we recommend using a computer equipped with a high-speed processor
because the amount of data is increased ninefold to
use the ISD technology. |
|
Q7 |
Is displayable grayscale by the ISD technology 256 steps (8 bits)? |
A7 |
The most current version of the ISD technology makes it possible to
display 1276-step simultaneously grayscale. |
