Review Display Systems (RDS) of Kent has introduced an 8in TFT display module from industrial display manufacturer Tianma. Part of Tianma’s professional (‘P’) series, P0800WVF1MA00 features WVGA (800 x 480 pixels) resolution, 15:9 aspect ratio and -30°C to +80°C operating range. “The Tianma P-series display line-up is designed for use in a wide range of human-machine interface applications where guaranteed, long-term operation ...

Displays used in defence and avionic installations have their own set of challenging electrical and environmental demands because they are expected to have quiet switching signatures while also conforming to size, weight and power (SWaP) criteria and the ability to operate reliably in harsh environments. Distributor Display Technology has a military portfolio which offers a range of displays and embedded ...

Data Modul is to stock ruggedised sunlight-readable TFT LCDs from Toppan, using VA technology to keep contrast high. “Thanks to the optimised mechanical design and the use of particularly robust components, the Rugged Series meets requirements ranging from extended temperature range to vibration resistance,” according to Data Modul. “They impress with their Blanview technology, which gives them excellent readability, even ...

TFT displays can be integrated into a variety of installations, in industrial and commercial settings. Assemblies are typically made up of a touch panel or cover lens and the display, with an air gap between the two. When an external light source (natural sunlight or ambient lighting) enters the front of the assembly, the light passes through the touch panel ...

Suitable for indoor and harsh environments as well as more unusual designs for indoor displays, the FLR-0959MLV0PCFA1  is a series of round displays by FutureLabs which are now available from Relec Electronics. The 9.5-inch TFT and PCAP (projected capacitive) displays have an active display area of 240mm. Resolution is 1540 x 1540 with 1000 CD/M2 brightness. They can be used in ...

Data Modul is aiming at industrial displays from 12.1 to 23.8in with a projected capacitive (PCap) touch controller PCB built around Microchip’s TD series of touch controller chips. The mXT2952TD touch controller board is compatible with Data Module’s earlier mXT2952T2, but includes differential mutual sensing to increase signal-to-noise ratio. “Neither thick gloves up to 5mm nor cover glasses up to 10mm ...

Ynvisible has won a design-in for its electro-chromic displays – thin flexible displays that change colour through low power ionic transfer. The company teamed up with SpotSee to create a 91 x 59mm calibrated temperature indication label for cold-chain use: temperature-controlled shipment and storage of goods such as blood bags, high-end foods, biomaterials and medicines. “With the TempSafe Electrocard, we now expand ...

Epson is aiming at vehicle instrument clusters with a greyscale segment LCD driver for up to 368 segments. “The amount of information that needs to be shown on instrumental cluster displays is increasing as vehicles gain additional features and functions,” according to the company. “On the other hand, larger displays with higher definitions increase costs. For this reason, there has been an increase, ...

Canadian company Ynvisible is offering custom electrochromic displays on thin flexible substrates. This is a new spin on an existing technology, characterised by low power consumption and image retention for tens of minutes after power is removed. It works by driving ions in and out of the visible surface to change its colour, using a low-voltage electric field. In this ...

Californian public display maker Ideum has chosen Zytronic of Newcastle to supply touch screen sensors for its next-generation Pano Duo 49” interactive touch table. Zytronic’s proprietary technology, branded ZyBrid, is multi-touch projected capacitive. “The crucial difference between the first generation Pano Duo 49” table and Ideum’s new one is the transition from an infra-red touch frame to Zytronic’s all-glass printed ...
