Video output is increasingly used in medical equipment and CCTV surveillance systems, as well as automotive, defence, marine and broadcast applications. Relec Electronics has announced a display design service to integrate video output using medium to large TFT displays. The service is intended to help developers fit a display into a thin form factor into systems which will be subjected to ...

There are benefits to organic electronics from product design freedom to more sustainable manufacturing, says Paul Cain of FlexEnable. Widespread adoption of new technologies can often bring unexpected changes to the way we live, ultimately reshaping our expectations and sometimes permanently modifying our behaviour. One key component central to the adoption of many new technologies is the display – either ...

Tyne & Wear touch screen company Zytronic has developed a touch sensor with an ultra-narrow border  – between 3mm and zero. “Designed to mirror the narrowest bezel video wall monitors, the glass sensors create a sleek appearance by using the maximum display area,” according to the company. “The sensors can be linked when used with the associated controller to enable seamless ...

Review Display Systems (RDS) is stocking a 10.4inch TFT P-series display module from industrial display manufacturer Tianma. P1040XGF1MA00 is XGA (1920 x 1080 pixels) with the classic 4:3 aspect ratio and includes ‘Super Fine TFT’ (SFT) technology for wide viewing angle and consistent colour, said RDS. Contrast ratio is 1000:1 and viewing angle is 85° left, right, up and down). ...

TouchNetix has got automotive AEC-Q100-6 qualification for its AX112 touch controller IC, which also includes hover sensing, force sensing and the control of haptic response. “Touchscreens based on the AX112 can support features such as pre-select, zoom-on-approach, dial-on-display and integrated haptic feedback without the need for additional hardware,” said the company. It “also supports the operation of touchscreens with variable thickness, ...

University of Cambridge spin-out Porotech has built what is said is the world’s first micro-display that emits red natively from indium gallium nitride – meaning that no phosphors are involved. The 960 x 540 display measures 14mm (0.55in) across the diagonal. “Until now, it has only been possible to produce blue and green micro-displays using GaN-based light-emitting devices – with red emission ...

Microchip is introducing touchscreen controllers certified to IEC/UL 60730 Class B, that will work on displays over 10in across. Called MXT448UD-HA and MXT640UD-HA (32 x 20 touch array) , they are also compliant with IEC61000-4-6 Class A for conducted noise immunity up to 10Vrms (level three for industrial use). “This enables products with a touch screen interface to function in very ...

Canadian thin-film display company Ynvisible Interactive and the UK-based printed electronics company PragmatIC Semiconductor are to develop integrated flexible display modules. The non-binding technology partnership and supply agreement will last for three years, with services and deliverables of up to $2m. ‍The reflective displays are very thin and take little power, needing only a pulse every few minutes to prevent ...

Review Display Systems (RDS) has introduced a 13.3in TFT display module for industrial use. Made by Tianma, the P1330FHF1MA00 is an HD display 1,920 x 1,080 pixels, 16:9 aspect ratio) with in-plane switching. “Tianma P-series display modules have been designed and developed to deliver exceptional optical performance and meet the requirements of the industrial and medical display markets and applications ...

Display Technology has announced a sensor that can detect a frozen display screen. Called IF444 Frozen screen sensor, it requires a small sensing patch to be stuck to the front of a screen in a corner, where it monitors a group of blinking pixels. The sensor does not work on its own, but needs to be used with firmware in ...
