Get “REAL” with D-ILA™— now with ultra-high,

In the 21st century, rapid development of digital video is expected, along with the popularization of digital HDTV through digital cable and satellite broadcasts. Packaged media are also moving in this direction, with HDTV versions of the D-VHS format as well as of DVD now in development. At the same time, advances in high-speed, broadband Internet capacity will enable HDTV broadcasts and ultra high-definition video from a high-performance personal computer or workstation to be delivered over the Internet. Live coverage and movie distribution using satellite systems will become more prevalent and digital movie theatres will become commonplace. Clearly, we are in an age where all media are rapidly digitizing and an incredible amount of high-quality digital content will be available.

The D-ILA™ (Digital Direct Drive Image Light Amplifier) technology that JVC has developed is based on an innovation in microchip design that permits the viewer to enjoy the full range of benefits from any high quality source whether from a video deck or a computer device. For true HDTV performance, the D-ILA™ technology packs 2048 x 1536 pixels — a total of 3.2 million pixels — on a single 1.3" chip. This makes possible display of HD images at full-spec resolution of 1920 x 1080 — with room to spare.
 
The D-ILA™’s innovative CMOS design is the key to reproducing all the details in a highdefinition picture. By placing the matrix addressing switches and electronics right behind (not between) the light-modulating liquid crystal layer, JVC has created a D-ILA™ chip with a “3-dimensional” layout. The result is a 93% fill factor and virtual elimination of the annoying “grid” or “screen door effect” so evident in other fixed matrix display technologies.
