A 21.3-inch display with a brightness of 1,700 cd/m² and contrast of 1400:1 is suitable for all traditional X-ray applications and examinations of the thorax.
In addition, the display supports independent subpixel driving (ISD), which increases the resolution by three. “This is the reason for the mammography approval from [the US Food and Drug Administration] FDA,” explained Marcel Herrmann, marketing manager, medical displays at Totoku.
With the new grayscale display MS35i2 , Totoku (Tokyo, Japan) extends his range of light-emitting diode (LED) products with a 3 megapixel (MP) display. The MS35i2 comes also with the new LED backlight. The successor of the cold cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL) technology is based on semiconductors. “The benefits are both ecological as well as financial and qualitative nature. Compared to CCFL monitors, LED displays, save up to 20% electricity and have a longer life span by approximately30%. This has a positive effect on the budget of the user. Furthermore, the CO2 emissions decrease due to reduced energy production. Specifically, the MS35i2 display will use 15% less power than its predecessor, at the same time almost doubles the lifetime, and disposal is much more environmentally friendly, since LEDs do not contain critical elements such as mercury,” stated Mr. Herrmann.
While the CCFL was mounted horizontally behind the display, the LED provides a significantly higher number of light sources. Because of this, they can be controlled individually, resulting in an optimized uniformity.
All new i2 models feature the new display port interface. This enables the user to connect not only to DVI signals or video cards but also with latest display port cards from various vendors, for example Matrox, ATI, and NVIDIA. Another benefit from display port is the improved greyscale reproduction. The display port offers for the first time true 10-bit grayscales on a color display and true 11-bit for the grayscale products.
