such as mobile phones, PDAs, and displays for automotive
applications is expected to grow significantly.
Epson will continue to refine its traditional technological
strengths related to low power consumption, compact
design, and high image quality, and will offer products with
distinct technical advantages over the competition.
Focusing on meeting growing demand, the Company is

High-temperature polysilicon TFT LCDs
High-temperature polysilicon (HTPS) TFT LCDs are the
core devices used in 3LCD projection products. Using
original and advanced liquid crystal and aperture ratio
technologies, Epson’s HTPS TFT LCDs are characterized
by superb images that are bright, natural, and easy on the
eyes. HTPS technology is used in such finished products
as 3LCD projectors, large-screen LCD projection TVs, and
mini-photo labs produced by Epson and other
manufacturers.
Epson will continue to develop HTPS technologies for
application in finished products in growing markets and
offer a wide lineup that closely meets customer needs.
