TFT liquid crystal displays are bright and clear for industrial products

14 June 2006 Opto-Electronics

Sharp Microelectronics' 10,4-inch thin film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) with a large viewing angle, improved contrast and fast response to meet the needs of industrial product design engineers.

Incorporating Sharp's Advanced Super View technology, the fast-response 10,4 inch VGA (640 x RGB x 480 pixels) LQ104V1DW02, targets designer needs for higher performance displays in industrial, gaming and medical environments. The clear, crisp colour screen is said to offer low reflection and high colour saturation. It also features low power consumption, high reliability and long life in terms of MTBF and backlight life. It also comes equipped with standardised connection schemes and can withstand routine handling and abuse.

Key features include a 170° symmetrical viewing angle, a contrast ratio of 450:1, and a typical response time of 25 ms. The operating temperature range is 0-70° C.

The RoHS-compliant TFT-LCD module is suitable for multimedia devices requiring readability in a wide array of ambient lighting conditions, and can be used as a drop-in replacement for panels currently in use, according to the company.

Applications include use in industrial human-machine interfaces, such as ATMs or outdoor kiosks, for mass-transit and public information, security/surveillance and factory automation, as well as medical systems applications including patient monitoring.
