TOTOKU MS21i2

Tuesday, 26 January 2010 09:41

6 MP - 21,3" Monochrome LCD

TOTOKU developed a new 21.3” 6-mega independent subpixel drive (ISD), grayscale medical display. The MS21i2 is a high-resolution display utilizing independent subpixel drive technology. The MS21i2 achieves 1276-step simultaneously displayable grayscale palette by using enhanced ISD technology* enabling more accurate display images.

ISD Technology

Independent Sub-pixel Drive (ISD) achieves three-times the resolution of today's most powerful displays. In this paper, we describe its features, mechanism, and development background. (Patent pending)

New luminance stabilizing system λ-Sentinel II

λ-Sentinel II consists of a luminance sensor and luminance control circuit. The luminance sensor, integrated into the front bezel, consistently monitors and accurately stabilizes luminance on the screen by rapidly communicating with the backlight sensor.

Special AR Coating

Special AR Coating technology addresses properties of focus, noise reduction, contrast, and viewing angle achieving film-like black and accurate reproduction of images. In this paper, we describe its features and physical measurement results. (Patent pending)

Remote grayscale check and remote calibration functions

Conformance testing to DICOM GSDF and calibration can be remotely accomplished. These features minimize the burden on display administrators.

OSD Information Display

Such information as the display model, total operating time, actual measurement of luminance, and calibration settings can be checked on screen.

Hardware based pivot function to enable high speed drawing in portrait orientation

The pivot function allows for a 90-degree rotation of the LCD panel into portrait orientation. Unlike other pivoting functions that are implemented using graphics cards and/or that require special software, TOTOKU hardware pivot function is directly implemented in display hardware and thus it is much faster with less noise.

Luminance equalizer λ-Uniformity Congruence

Is built in to achieve highly accurate luminance uniformity across the screen. Luminance unevenness is minimized in the final tune-up prior to shipping.

Built-in LUT (Look-up Table) to reproduce beautiful grayscale and TOTOKU's technology for simultaneous display of multiple shades

The built-in LUT selects the most appropriate 256 shades of gray (8bit) out of 1021 shades (10bit) to realize finer and smoother grayscale.

Enhanced convenience with utility software

The backlight dims as the screensaver starts, reducing power consumption and preventing unnecessary deterioration of the backlight.

* This feature may not be available, depending on the specifications of the graphics card used.

Gamma check

18 points of luminance values are measured and plotted into a graph.

Ambient light and display luminance measurement

The built-in sensors measure display luminance and ambient illuminance.

LED indicator to inform of current status

A glance at the LED indicator tells you the display's current operating status in three distinct colors. When in normal mode (luminance is stabilized), the LED is not lighted to minimize negatively impacting the diagnostic interpretation.

Pairing service to match display colors (Optional)

Due to the variation in colors among cold cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFL) used asbacklights, slight differences in color tone between displays are unavoidable. Medical imaging often uses two displays side-by-side, and it is very important that they present the same color tone.
