EIZO Announces First Model in EcoView Series of LCD Monitors

(Auszug aus der Pressemitteilung)

Hakusan, Japan, September 4, 2008 – Eizo Nanao Corporation (TSE: 6737) today announced the

release of the FlexScan® EV2411W, the first of its new “ EcoView” monitors.
This 24.1-inch widescreen monitor is ideal for corporate and government
facilities as well as small offices and home offices requiring a high-quality
monitor with minimal environmental impact.

EcoView embodies EIZO’ s concept of combining ergonomic and
environmental features for long-term economic benefits. An EcoView monitor
contributes to increased user comfort, reduced environmental burden, and
lower running costs.

The FlexScan EV2411W is the first EIZO monitor to incorporate an LED (light-emitting diode)
backlight. Unlike conventional CCFL (cold cathode fluorescent lamp) backlights, LED backlights
do not contain any mercury and consume considerably less power .

The FlexScan EV2411W offers power savings straight out of the box. Even with the brightness at
its default setting of 100%, the EV2411W only consumes 33 watts – less than half the power of
its predecessor. This figure typically drops to a mere 19 watts when the Auto EcoView function is
activated. Auto EcoView uses a sensor on the front bezel to read the ambient light and adjust the
brightness accordingly. Energy is saved because the screen is always at the ideal brightness level.

Most monitors continue to draw electricity when powered down, but the FlexScan EV2411W
consumes no electricity when its primary power switch is turned off. For businesses, this ensures
the monitor will not contribute to electricity costs after working hours or on weekends when it is
not in use.

The FlexScan EV2411W includes a new feature called EcoView Index which displays an index on
the screen that correlates the level of power savings with the monitor’ s brightness to encourage
environmental consciousness while working.

Several ergonomic features are incorporated to help alleviate eye fatigue caused by VDT (visual
display terminal) work. These include the Auto EcoView function for automatic setting of
brightness to the ideal level, a selection of ergonomic stands for proper viewing posture, and
EIZO’ s EyeCare software utility which prompts workers to take scheduled breaks to rest their
eyes. A pioneering study conducted by EIZO established that these features not only reduced eye
fatigue, but also increased productivity by 12.5%.

The EV2411W is the first monitor to carry the 2009 version of EIZO’ s in-house environmental
label – EIZO Eco Products (EEP). Since its inception in 2002, EEP has set strict internal
requirements for manufacturing and packaging. EIZO Eco Products 2009 includes new
stipulations such as the monitor must not consume any power when turned off, consume less than
1.5 watts in power save mode, and that its eco profile be available on eizo.com.

EIZO’ s new EcoView Net software offers further power savings for large installations. EcoView
Net gives administrators centralized control over the power settings of all EV2411W monitors on
a network. Settings include brightness adjustment, power on/off, Auto EcoView on/off, and
remote and local scheduling. This software is compatible with Microsoft® Windows Vista®, and
will also support future EcoView monitors. Availability is scheduled for November 2008.
