NEC MD211G3
HIGH BRIGHTNESS MONOCHROME DISPLAYS
A New Dimension in Visual Diagnostics
Digitalisation has long reached the healthcare sector, with productivity gains
and the recent move towards a filmless environment (Picture Archiving and
Communication Systems).
NEC Display Solutions designed a new 3MP high brightness monochrome display
offering the highest diagnostic image quality for the accurate display of thorax
X-ray, Computed Radiography (CR) and the new Direct Radiography (DR) images,
incorporating SA-SFT technology whilst operating with lower glare.

NEC SA-SFT TECHNOLOGY (IPS)
NEC is the only leading medical display brand which is manufacturer of its own
LCD modules. Backed by years of experience in the research and development of
medical TFT displays, NEC's latest SA Super Fine TFT technology offers outstanding
image quality for conventional X-ray.
An increase in aperture between the electrodes of the basic pixel of 20%, in
combination with advanced backlight technology, results in market leading
brightness and contrast ratio values due to a higher transmission than conventional
super advanced SFT (Super Fine TFT).

AUTOMATIC BACKLIGHT STABILISATION WITH RE-CALIBRATABLE FRONT
SENSOR
NEC's backlight stabilization with front sensor controls and adjusts the luminance
via an integrated sensor and feedback system, which not only measures, but
also permanently controls and re-aligns these settings to maintain the factory
calibration. Any fluctuation in luminance at start-up, due to temperature changes
or over the display lifetime is corrected in real-time.

stabilisation
Compared to traditional backlight sensors, which only measure the output of
the backlight, NEC's front sensor is located in front of the screen and detects
all instabilities caused by the backlight and the liquid crystal display, because it
measures the combined effect of both elements.
The state of the art re-calibratable front sensor is traceable to a standards
laboratory and suitable for constancy tests according to the new IEC62563-1
Quality Assurance standard.
MATCHED PAIR
The MD211G3 monitors are offered in factory colour matched pairs, displaying
the same white point and allowing the safe comparison of images on different
displays.
DIGITAL UNIFORMITY CONTROL (DUC)
The Digital Uniformity Control (DUC) function provides optimum backlight luminance
uniformity which is considered difficult to attain due to the LCD manufacturing
process.
In addition, the NEC patented heat-management concept with airflow parallel to
the LCD panel, avoids hot spots and results in market exceeding uniformity levels.
TRUE 10-BIT SIMULTANEOUS GRAYSCALE DISPLAY OUT OF 15.5-BIT LUT
MD211G3 can display high-definition medical imaging. The internally programmed
DICOM GSDF curve optimises the display to human visual performance in
compliance with the DICOM Part 14 standard, drastically improving the accuracy
at which images can be interpreted.
AMBIENT LIGHT COMPENSATION
MD211G3 is equipped with an ambient light sensor. The Ambient Light
Compensation system compensates the DICOM compliance offset under changing
lighting conditions by adapting the display contrast level (recalculating the gamma
curve) to match the ambient light conditions.
DISPLAYPORT CONNECTIVITY
The VESA digital video interface standard DisplayPort
offers better image quality with higher bit-depth
support and higher bandwidth performance, giving
a particular benefit when manipulating large image
datasets.
ANTI-GLARE
NEC developed a unique anti-glare coating layer in order to avoid disturbing
ambient light reflections. Unlike Silica Gel substrate films the NEC Anti-Glare layer
uses smaller particles (synthetic gel) to control the path of reflected light preventing
glare.
The NEC unique Conventional
Anti-Glare solution Silica Gel creates
reflects light away random disturbing
from the viewer reflections
COMPATIBLE WITH VARIOUS DISPLAY CONTROLLERS
MD211G3 support various input signals for compatibility with a range of Single Link
or Dual Link display controllers, which allow selection of the controller according to
budget and performance requirements.

QUICK SCREEN QA
The innovative Quick Screen QA test function
allows the monitor to display an internal test
pattern similar to AAPM TG18-QC, without using
an external signal source. A quick overall visual
evaluation as well as a DICOM conformance
measurement done with the front sensor is
available with this built-in method.
INNOVATIVE COOLING TECHNOLOGY
To achieve the high brightness, MD211G3 has 16 direct backlights. A unique NEC
patented heat management concept with airflow parallel to the LCD panel has been
developed for these higher temperature panels.

ERGONOMIC DESIGN
Dual or Quad Head configurations result in the highest display performance
because LCD displays obtain their best DICOM conformance and contrast ratio
when the observer looks perpendicular to the screen. The ultra narrow bezels,
devoid of buttons and distracting LED lights, enhance viewing comfort in such
multi-panel environment. The height, tilt and pivot adjustable stand offers wide
flexibility for positioning of the monitor.
WARRANTY
MD211G3 is offered including 3 years standard warranty. A 5 years or 30,000h,
whichever comes first, warranty extension is offered as an option. NEC Display
Solutions Healthcare warranty always includes LCD panel and backlight, as well as
same service level during the complete warranty period.
GAMMCOMPMD QA / QA-XRAY QUALITY ASSURANCE
MD211G3 can be easily integrated into NEC's GammaCompMD QA client or
Network administration software for asset management and (remote) technical
display management. Automated DICOM conformance checks and calibrations
using the front sensor result in worry-free DICOM compliance.
The QAXRAY TM optional module works seamlessly with the GammaCompMD QA
Client and allows for high-grade Quality Assurance guaranteeing consistent image
quality across the radiological imaging chain, and is available in several variants.
QAXRAY offers QA routines for the German QS-RL (DIN V 6868-57 acceptance
TM
test, constancy test, daily/weekly visual test) and for the new international standard
IEC62563-1 (acceptance test, constancy test).
