Japan Display Inc.(株式会社ジャパンディスプレイ, Kabushiki-gaisha Japan Disupurei), commonly called by its abbreviated name, JDI, is the Japanese display technology joint venture formed by the merger of the small and medium-sized liquid crystal display businesses of Sony, Toshiba, and Hitachi.

JDI had accumulated consecutive losses since its IPO, a restructuring plan was announced in 2017, including closing down a production line in Japan and layoffs of approximately a third of its workforce.

A newly-created entity INCJ, Ltd. had become the largest shareholder of JDI with 25,29 % of total shares since September 21, 2018 as a result of a corporate split of the old INCJ.

On June 12, 2019, JDI disclosed that major changes are to be implemented due to sluggish sales in the Mobile Business Division. It announced one plant would be closed and another has suspended operation. A major reduction of the workforce was also planned.Apple, boosting the stock price of JDI by 32 percent at the time.

On December 26, it officially entered talks to sell its plant in Hakusan, Ishikawa to Sharp Corporation for 80 to 90 billion yen which is about US$800 million, with a plan to avail the profit to the repayment of the loan made by Apple whose investment partially funded the construction of the plant.OLED displays.

Due to the financial trouble caused by its late decision to manufacture OLED displays and the loan from Apple, the company"s OLED affiliate, JOLED, has not yet been able to compete with other manufacturers, whilst more than half of JDI"s revenue still came from the shrinking IPS LCD panel sales to Apple.

In February 2020, Ichigo Asset management, a multinational private investment fund, gained control of JDI in exchange for US$715 million of investment. In turn, the memorandum signed with Suwa a year before was terminated.

In April 2020, in accordance with the talks held in December, JDI began to sell LCD production equipment valued at US$200 million to Apple, with plans to sell the real estate of the Hakusan plant to Sharp. This will allow JDI to focus on its remaining product demand and factories. The sales have been completed by October.

In July 2020, the CEO of JDI revealed the company"s plan to start mass production of OLED display panels for smartphones "as early as 2022" with a novel manufacturing technology, adding that it would require new funding.

JDI has produced active-matrix displays driven by TFTs based on a In-Plane-Switching technology developed by Hitachi also has been used. The company has developed an improvement for darker black pixels (true-black appearance), called "IPS-NEO", which reduces the light shining through from the backlighting.

Its "Pixel Eyes" technology incorporates the touch function into the LCD panel itself; combined with the company"s transparent display technology, a transparent fingerprint reader that could be featured in smartphones was announced in 2018.

For reflective LCDs without backlighting, JDI has developed an addressing technique using a thin-film memory device SRAM in addition to the conventional TFT for each pixel, so that a still image can be stored consuming a low amount of energy.

In December 2019, it announced that it has developed a 1.6-inch microLED display module with a pixel density of 265 ppi and a peak brightness of 3,000 nits, which can be assembled to form a large screen.

Different displays have different characteristics, just tell Panox Display your application, and operating environment, Panox Display will suggest a suitable display for you.

But Panox Display is not a school, if customers don`t know the basic knowledge to design circuit boards, we suggest using our controller board to drive the display.

First, you need to check whether this display has On-cell or In-cell touch panel, if has, it only needs to add a cover glass on it. If not, it needs an external touch panel.

If you don`t know or don`t want to write a display program on Raspberry Pi, it`s better to get an HDMI controller board from us, and Panox Display will send a config.txt file for reference.

TOKYO -- Japan Display will sell its China-based subsidiary Suzhou JDI Electronics to a local buyer, the money-losing Japanese panel maker said Friday, as it continues to shed assets in a sweeping overhaul.

Suzhou Dongshan Precision Manufacturing Co. will buy all of Suzhou JDI Electronics for 20.5 billion yen ($140 million) in a transaction to be completed between January and March 2023.

(iTers News) - Japan Display Inc., a supplier of small- and medium-sized displays, has completed the production transfer of its automotive displays at the third-generation Amorphous Silicon TFT LCD line from the Ishikawa Plant, which was part of an ongoing effort in a strategy to strengthen its automotive display business, and ended production at the end of March 2014 as scheduled. JDI has consolidated the functions of its automotive display business, including development, design, production, and quality assurance at the Tottori Plant, which has the fourth-generation a-Si line, and will accelerate technology development as well as promote further expansion and improved efficiency to meet rising customer demands.

The plan for consolidating the automotive display business at the Tottori Plant was announced in July, 2013, and since then JDI has been working to gather the relevant resources, installing cutting-edge equipment, and obtaining approval of the transfer from customers. Currently, JDI is providing customers with secure environments by using the fourth-generation a-Si line in the Tottori Plant as the main factory for the production of automotive display products, as well as establishing a multi-site production system that enables production at the 4.5 generation a-Si lines in the Mobara Plant, with the perspective of the BCP.

The employees who were working at the a-Si line in Ishikawa Plant have been transferred to the Organic EL display pilot line inside the same plant, and other locations within the company. The impairment loss concerning the production transfer has already been recorded as an extraordinary loss for the fiscal year ended in March 2013, and will not affect the consolidated financial statement for the fiscal year ending in March 2014.

Japan Display (JDI) announced that, in order to meet with the increasingly growing market demand, the largest JDI vehicle display production base in Tottori factory will expand its production capacity 12%.

According to JDI report, the Tottori factory scheduled to begin operations in November 2017, LCD glass panel production capacity will be amplified by 12%, and one new automatic assembly line on April, for the prototype products and advanced LCD process developed.

Driven by the trend of networked vehicles, the current number of monitors installed per vehicle continues to increase, the market growth rate of the vehicle display is expected to remain at about 10%, higher than the automotive market. JDI automotive display department is trying to improve the market share of the car display, and planning the 2021 fiscal year of car display revenue increased by about 2 times compared with the year 2016.

The new assembly line automation module, will greatly enhance the efficiency of JDI product development and rapid response to customer demand for diversification. In addition, JDI will continue to provide, promote efficient, high reliability of the LCD, to meet the needs of vehicle design in the design flexibility, low power consumption and high speed response.

Idemitsu Kosan Co., Ltd. (“Idemitsu Kosan,” Head Office: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President and Chief Executive Officer: Shunichi Kito), and Japan Display Inc. (“JDI,” Head Office: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Chairman and Chief Executive Officer: Scott Callon) have successfully co-developed an innovative poly-crystalline oxide semiconductor, Poly-OS, for use in a wide variety of displays, including wearable devices, smartphones, metaverse devices such as VR, Notebook PCs, and large-display TVs.

By integrating Idemitsu Kosan"s newly developed proprietary poly-crystalline oxide1 semiconductor material and JDI"s proprietary backplane2 technology, the new Poly-OS semiconductor contributes significantly to improving display performance by achieving both high mobility and low off-leak current3 on Gen 6 mass production lines. Poly-OS can also be deployed to large-size Gen 8 lines and above, significantly reducing display manufacturing costs. Both JDI and Idemitsu Kosan are committed to actively promoting this innovative technology globally.

Idemitsu Kosan started the development of a poly-crystalline oxide semiconductor material IGO (Indium Gallium Oxide) for flat panel displays as part of its electronic materials business in 2006. IGO has high mobility equivalent to low temperature polysilicon (LTPS)4, which could not be achieved with existing oxide semiconductors, along with stable thin-film transistor (TFT)5 characteristics that can be applied to Gen 8 and larger substrate lines.

JDI has succeeded in developing the world"s first practical application of Poly-OS on a Gen 6 mass production line at its Mobara Plant (Mobara City, Chiba Prefecture), using its proprietary backplane technology. JDI’s HMO (High Mobility Oxide) Poly-OS implementation achieves 4X higher field-effect mobility than conventional OS-TFTs. JDI announced this HMO technology breakthrough on March 30, 2022. (JDI release: "JDI Develops World’s First G6 Oxide Semiconductor TFT with 4X Improvement in Field-Effect Mobility – Breakthrough in Display Performance – ").

Both Idemitsu Kosan and JDI are supporting the ongoing development of Poly-OS technology so that it can be widely applied in diverse applications across the global display industry. JDI and Idemitsu Kosan are committed to contributing to a low-carbon society through display performance improvements, the evolution of the global display industry, and lower display power consumption.

Like a-Si6, conventional oxide semiconductor transistors can be easily manufactured on large areas and have low power consumption due to low off-leak current. However, their mobility is lower than that of LTPS, a high-performance technology mainly used in small- and medium-sized displays. The innovative Poly-OS semiconductor technology developed by JDI and Idemitsu Kosan significantly improves and resolves the challenges of conventional oxide’s low field-effect mobility, while enabling higher performance equivalent to LTPS. Poly-OS thus makes it possible to create products that bring together the best features of existing backplane technologies (Fig. 1).

Oxide materials with high electron mobility typically have difficulty controlling charge carriers and cannot be operated as transistors without modification. By integrating JDI’s proven process know-how in CVD8, sputter9, annealing10, and etching, Poly-OS makes possible stable operation with both high mobility and low off-leak current (Fig. 3 & 4). In addition, by adopting an optimal top-gate self-align structure11 (Fig. 5) to increase on-current12, stable characteristics that are independent of the channel width can be obtained even at 2 µm (the minimum channel length). The current driving capability is also equivalent to that of LTPS (Fig. 6).

When a-Si technology is used in high-end medical monitors featuring high brightness (e.g., 2000cd/m2), there are certain side effects that arise from using a more powerful backlight, such as higher cost, bulky heat-sink design, potential noise from fans, higher power consumption, etc. Japan Display claims that these medical monitors need a better display solution to overcome these problems. By using LTPS technologies, the new display has higher tranmissivity, which contributes to a one-third (1/3rd) power consumption savings compared to the conventional a-Si product. Furthermore, LTPS technologies enable the new display to have fewer driver-ICs and a finer driving circuit layout. Thus, the display"s border can be narrowed by nearly 45%, which helps doctors to easier read and interpret multi-frame radiology and mammography images.

Japan Display will start sampling this new product in the fourth quarter of 2017, and mass production planned to start in the second quarter of 2018.

Japan Display Inc. (JDI) has developed the world’s first flexible tactile sensor that enables high-precision measurement over a wide area using a matrix of LTPS TFTs (lowtemperature polysilicon thin-film transistors).
